Laughing as Pads smacked him, Remus aimed a smack back at him. "I'm not surprised. I'm all too willing to let you be the biggest arse."
Remus saw the look in the other man's eyes and suspected they were both glad of this new time for very similar reasons. "All right, I'll ask him for time and see what he says. If nothing else, I suppose it will make my own intentions very clear. And then we can all get started on finding that solution." He chuckled dryly. "It can be our new family project."
