Remus couldn't remember what happened yesterday, but from the looks Deceit and Virgil gave him when he woke up said it all. "Was I drunk?" Remus asked sheepishly. Virgil nodded. "Yup. And you had caffeine." Remus laughed nervously. Then he said, "Weren't Roman and the others meant to be back yesterday?" Deceit stopped smiling, "They did say 'a couple of days' rather than 'three' didn't they?" Although Remus would never admit it, he did worry about Roman.
