[at some point in her day tonks has to wander by a restaurant or cafe, one with seats outside. and when she does:]

Troubled?

[a woman with red hair and white cloak sits at a table, closest to the street than the others. there aren't many others outside, either, so it should be obvious who she speaks to. (but then, a random woman talking to you as you walk by can be rather confusing!) she smiles, and it is a mixture of amusement and knowing something tonks doesn't.]

[thenobledie]

Once a month. One of the few things in this city that is constant.

[wotchesyou]

Does it happen around the same time each month or does it vary? And, uh, this might be a weird question to ask, but are there full moons here?

[thenobledie]

Give or take a few days difference. - of course.

[finally, touching her tea! it's a dainty sort of sip.]

[wotchesyou]

[Tonks frowns for a moment. It's in response to both statements. Idly, her fingertips drum against the top of the table]

I see.

[thenobledie]

Why does it worry you?

[wotchesyou]

[Tonks hadn't realized that she's worried until Shirley mentions it. She isn't worried for herself. She's worried for what it may mean for someone else and she is not sure how to tell Shirley this. It's not her secret to share.]

I'm not worried for myself. I've had far more embarrassing things happen to me than... Well, I suppose everyone will see now.

[Yes, she is going to pretend that she's concerned for broadcasting her past memories than she is the full moon. Tonks is gong to pray silently that Shirley believes her.]

[thenobledie]

[oh, she doesn't - but why prod about it? shirley is already aware of what it means.]

Perhaps you will have better luck than others.

[wotchesyou]

[Ignorance is bliss in this case.]

Maybe. It's not like I haven't embarrassed myself before.
