Remus set the mug of tea beside her before taking a sip of his own, leaning against the counter as he did so. "You're important to me," Remus said quietly. "And as long as I've known you, you've always been a sweetheart to everyone you knew, myself included. But sometimes I worry..." He trailed off for a moment, studying his tea, before continuing. "I worry that we work you too hard and get nothing to show for it. I know that we do. I owe you for every tip you've distorted or falsified, for every scrap of information you've forwarded, for those long, horrible days you spent in order to help us save Sirius and Regulus." He swallowed again before taking another sip of his drink. "I owe you, big."
