[ The Force device is on and already recording as skitters along a floor. From the sound of it, stone from the sound of it. It comes to halt on the other side of the dungeon-like room. The room, wherever it is, is poorly illuminated. A lantern in the farthest corner is the only source of light, its small shape casts an eerie pink glow across the

[she could say that lupin has disappeared, beyond her reach. but tonks is suffering, and she doesn't need more to worry about. a strange moment from shirley but maybe brought on by tonks's strength.]

I will keep him safe.

And Dende. Don't take your eyes off of him. If Bellatrix knows... Oh, Merlin, she must know.

She will never touch him.

No Shirley, I don't think I will. If I come out of this alive. Bellatrix Lestrange tortured people to the breaking point, past insanity, past everything. I don't want to live like that and I've taken a precaution against it. Death would be so much better but she won't kill me, not yet.

Don't let Remus blame him. You'll know who it is. I just... I've seen it. I can't go on like that. I won't.

[ This isn't quite a deathbed confessional but it'll do. It is getting close to the end for her, she knows. ]

Tell Dende that I think he's the bravest little guy that I know. He tries so hard to make friends. Tell Hermione that I think she's brilliant. Tell Remus... Tell him that I don't blame him. Tell him that I wish I wouldn't have been so stupid about the masquerade.

[ It's getting harder for her to finish this and it shows. ]

You tell him what he needs to hear.

[she pauses. and then, she nods. if tonks will survive, sane or not, is beyond shirley's depth right now. possible false promises are not what the woman needs, so:]

May Death be swift, then.

Thank you Shirley.
