Re: Ted/Remus
"It's all right," Remus said, sincerity clear in the warm brown eyes that looked up sharply at Ted's words. "I will always have time for you, no matter what other duties there are or how lousy my company might be in a given moment. Clear?"
He would not neglect his relationship with his son more than he was already forced to by circumstance.
Remus hadn't actually been thinking of Andromeda, but more expressing a wish to know how Ted was doing in general. Still, it wasn't difficult to guess, after the follow-up comment and thin-lipped smile, where the younger man's thoughts had gone. "All right meaning unsettled, frustrated, and confused," he guessed, feeling a bit better now that he had Ted to focus on and worry about over his own emotional issues. "I'm sorry none of us thought to look deeper into her appearance that night. It wasn't expected and things were in such chaos."
