AFTER 8 PM
It wasn't anything against James; Remus had a terrible time opening up to people. He used his intellect as a shield to protect him from his own emotions, and at the moment his shield was cracked and possibly unfixable. Talking about his feelings was terribly difficult, but James was trying to reach out to him, and he didn't want to shut him out.
Where was he even supposed to start, though? Remus opened his mouth, but nothing came out at first. It took several seconds for him to gather his words. "I wouldn't want Lily to feel like she had to keep secrets from you. I'm not mad at her for saying anything," he said. "But.. what did she say?" That would at least give him a starting point.
