“Yes. Of course, dear. Why don’t you come on in?” she offered, motioning for him to follow her to her desk. She scanned his face for a moment with hesitation, feeling a surge of power beaming from his body. She almost shivered, but quickly collected herself and sauntered over to her desk and took a seat. “Now, you may call me Madam Mayor. Who might you be?” she called to him as she shuffled through her desk for a map. 

When realizing that she was looking over him, he felt a bit nervous. Lupin thought that she was probably not used to seeing so many scars on a man’s face before, but her sudden pause made him wonder…Following her inside the room, he looked around, noting that the trees on the wallpaper were very stark. They stood out, black on white, much like everything in her office. The images almost reminded him of those darks times when he’d run off to the woods…

“Pleasure to meet you, Madam Mayor,” Lupin answered her with a smile on his face, his hands behind his back. “My name is Remus Lupin.”

She continued to dig through her desk until she found a map. She held it out for him, but waited patiently as he scanned her office. It she was always taken aback when people did this. This color scheme was a sign of her mourning, so she had never seen as something to stare at for very long. However, as he gave her his name, she extended the map to him once more.“Might I ask what you plan to do in Storybrooke?” she almost cooed, a single brow slightly raising as she tried to avert her eyes from the scars. She almost wanted to bring her hand to her own scar above her upper lip, but quickly decided that was rude and brought her attention back to the map.
