Remus rolled his eyes, still chuckling. "That's amazing, Prongs, you've found a scent even my nose can't pick up. Is that what communing with your own animal nature gets you?"
Oh, well, that was quick. Remus probably should have known better than to expect actual small talk in the small talk portion of the conversation. Although, it was good to see Prongs could joke about it. Remus had been afraid his friend would still be put out with him...well, more seriously put out with him.
"Flimsy excuses," he repeated with a grin. "You're just upset because Pads got all the early teasing in and you missed the blushing furiously stage." Remus smirked softly. "Besides, if you weren't speaking to me, you wouldn't still be complaining about not knowing. So, really, it's a flimsy excuse because you're still talking to me."
