What's going on? Sirius wants to talk.
The next morning Sirius felt as though he'd hardly slept. Last night's events hadn't sat easily with him, and though Sirius wasn't generally much of a worrier he kept turning it over in his mind. Had he really crossed a line? Was he behaving unacceptably? It had never been in James to call Sirius on his behaviour, but surely his best friend woul have said something if he was making Remus clearly miserable...and Lily. He couldn't imagine Lily not hexing him into next week for hurting Remus.
Maybe he hadn't really considered that he might need to change his behaviour now. Maybe that was expected really. James had modified his behaviour for Lily, Sirius supposed. Thought it hadn't really felt that way at the time - it had seemed more of a natural course. Perhaps he just wasn't suited to relationships.
The more Sirius thought about the previous night the more convinced he became that his misgivings were just. If this had been bothering Remus for ages, then why had it only spilled over now? And surely, surely it wasn't right to have to placate Remus just because full moon was round the corner.
He waited until Remus was awake, had been awake a while and didn't seem to be in a furious mood any longer.
"Your hand looks fine now," he said conversationally as they drank tea in the living room. Sirius was rather pleased with himself, usually arguments exploded out of him uncontrollably. This was reasonable discussion, something that Remus--for all his reiterations of being older--didn't seem to have mastered either.
