Remus smiled more when the woman seemed confused, but he wasn't going to offer to help, because the red-headed woman already had (in a round about way) and he hadn't wanted to interrupt or seem nosy, so he simply finished putting his laundry in the washer, added some of his detergent, a bit of powder (the commercial said that it kept whites whiter, and brights brighter!), and he was closing the lids and starting up both. Only then did he stack both baskets and set them aside before turning to face the two women.
"Never had to do laundry before?" The tired-looking werewolf asked with a small smile, eyebrows lifting as he did. He hadn't ever had to do laundry either-- not like this. It'd all been done with magic, but now he was blending in with muggles, so he was doing things the muggle way.
