"Thanks, Serenus - cognac for me... you too?" Remus asked Gaius, who nodded. Carefully Remus wrapped an arm around Gaius' shoulders, so that Serenus could disengage and head to the bar.
He led Gaius to the booth, noting that Serenus had chosen well. Gaius slid into one side, and Remus took the other, leaving the seat next to Gaius free for Serenus, since he had a great deal of experience with Serenus in hovery mode, and he knew that Serenus was definitely that way now in relation to his little brother. But he reached out across the table to take Gaius' hand. "You sure you're all right with this? We can always leave anytime you say - no one is going to blame you if you can't take it."
