Re: Remus - Regulus
"More withholding judgement pending further evidence," Remus teased. He'd meant he didn't think discussing it at the party at all was the place. But when Regulus mentioned going outside, it was hard to deny he really wanted to talk to Regulus about what he'd done the day before. He intended to talk to Dumbledore as well, eventually, because he thought he'd pieced together a few things from the years he'd been corresponding with the old wizard from Europe. But, he found he found he truly did want Regulus' opinion.
While he was thinking about it, Regulus brought up the Full and Remus nodded. "It is. I'll be okay for awhile, although I may leave early." He couldn't not come for Sirius' birthday, Full or no. It was the first birthday for his friend he'd gotten to celebrate in far too many years.
"There's nowhere in the house that's safe from this. But, if you're willing to brave the outdoors," he smirked, recalling their previous conversation about standing in a garden, "this place is supposed to have a huge back garden where we might escape the clamour."
Surprised when the touch to his arm didn't bother him any more than if it had been the elder Black brother doing so, Remus winked teasingly. "That is, if you're sure you don't want to be entertained by my breaking that pair up so Sirius can hunt up the gift I know he must have for you...somewhere."
