"Hmph!" Severus folded his arms across his chest. "It isn't that I do not want Gaius to be happy. It isn't even that I disapprove of his choice this time. I simply think he rushed into the relationship. Frankly, I am surprised Regulus let himself be caught up in it. He is usually more cautious."
"Well, people do strange things when they fall in love." Serenus smiled beatifically at Tybalt and squeezed his thigh. "From what I can tell, he seems happy enough with the situation. Perhaps this is one time he didn't want to be cautious."
Severus gave another cross "hmph!", but he glanced sidelong at Remus and shifted his chair closer as well.
"Make sure it's an extra special treat," Serenus said, teasing. "It seems Mr. Crankypants needs some sweetening up."
