Friends. Remus absolutely wanted to remain friends. In his later life, he did not have many and even here in the village he felt more like a father or uncle rather than friend to half the village. He cocked his head, shooting Alphard a playful grin. "Nah, I mean, you are everything other than intelligent and easy to talk to." Handsome too, but Remus didn't add that in. It wasn't as if anything could come of it. He did love Tonks. "Of course, dolt." He felt okay enough to stick a chip in his mouth. "I was lucky even if it wasn't all easy." He debated telling Alphard his secret and quickly realized it was pointless keeping such a thing in their small town. "You may want to know something."
