Remus paced briskly through the hallways, eyes darting left and right, looking for a certain tiny female mage. He shifted the small package under his arm as it started to slip downward, and wondered where Nina could be.

Nina raced from the other end of the corridor, her hair flying behind her. Where had she put her bookbag? Her half-finished homework was in it-- she refused to redo all that pre-calculus work.

Remus grinned as he saw Nina racing in his general direction. "Hey! Nina! Slow down for a sec, I have something of yours!" He held out his arm as she ran past, catching her; the momentum swung them both around. Remus took the package from under his other arm and pressed it into Nina's hands before she could get away. "Pour vous, ma cherie."

Nina's eyebrows rose, momentarily forgetting about her missing bookbag. She looked up at Remus, then down at the package, then back up at Remus. "For me? Are you sure?" She was confused-- was it her birthday? Had she done something? Why would she get a present?

Remus nodded, his grin widening. "I hope you like it. Go on, open it."

Nina smiled and returned her attention to the package, using her nails to find a seam in the tape and slitting through it along one edge. The wrapping came off neatly like an envelope, the contents sliding coolly into her hands. She gasped.
"Oh, Remus-- this is so pretty! Why would--" She had to stop herself here. She was once again thinking, Why would you give me this for no reason? but could not decide whether or not it was rude. She looked up at Remus and inspected his expression for a few moments, wondering could have driven him to do this for her.
At a loss for words, all she could manage was, "Thank you."

Remus grinned. "You're welcome. I knew you'd like it. It just seemed to suit you perfectly. I hope it fits. Go on, try it on!"

Nina chuckled. "All right-- as soon as I find my backpack." She clutched the present to her chest and swept her gaze from one end of the hallway to the other. "Have you seen it, Rem? It's a messenger bag-- Shaolin orange with green trim, and there's a bunch of patches and my snake symbol is doodled all over it."

"Yeah, I think I saw it by one of the couches in the student lounge," Remus told her. "I was just in there. It's probably still sitting there. If I knew you were looking for it I would have brought it with me. Let's go see--OW!!" he yelped suddenly, putting a hand to his head as a sharp pain blossomed above his eye. He rubbed the spot as the pain slowly ebbed, looking apologetically at Nina. "Romulus probably hit his head on something. I'll be okay."

Nina pursed her lips and furrowed her brow slightly, standing on her toes to inspect the damage. "You're going to have a bruise there," she remarked, a smirk slowly curling the corners of her mouth. She grabbed Remus's wrist, beginning to tug him down the hallway. "Let's go get my backpack-- and if Rom is there I'll yell at him for you."

Maleko enjoyed the perks of being the only one in the hallway that moved with the aid of a wheelchair. If he suddenly decided to accelerate, people moved.
He was heading from the student lounge. Nina was notorious for leaving her things around the school-- her bookbag lay across his knees, his eyes scanning the throngs of people for the familiar blond hair and deceiving stature.
"Hey you!" he called as he spotted her. "Forget something, little'un?"

Remus turned and spotted the younger boy rolling up the hallway toward him, Nina's bookbag lying across his lap. He grinned and turned back to Nina. "Guess we won't have to head over there after all, cherie!"

Nina bounced on the balls of her feet, smiling from ear to ear at Maleko's approach. She reached out and tousled his soft dark hair, taking her backpack from him as she straightened. "You're a lifesaver, Maleko."
