AFTER 8 PM
Remus wasn't too terribly startled by the greeting he received. Sirius was always pretty enthusiastic, and no doubt he'd had some liquid enthusiasm swishing around inside him. He laughed a little and pet the top of his head. Maybe for the time being, he could just forget about the tension and all that had gone down. Just relax and have a good time with his best mates. He didn't see Sirius' date around anywhere, which actually didn't surprise him either, considering Sirius' attention span.
He gave the other boy a pat on the head and an affectionate scratch behind the ear. "Hey, Pads," he said, much more calmly. "Having a good time, are you?" If Sirius was sporting a tail, Remus knew it'd be wagging as fast as could be.
