Tonks followed Lupin through the house, the news about her cousin's reaction bothering her. She sat down when he offered her a place and it was by the grace of some higher power that she didn't miss the chair entirely or have some catastrophic fall with how caught up she quickly became in her thoughts. "That's.. Not good. Sirius he.. He never really takes well to bad news. If he's disappearing now I'm almost afraid to wonder what he's disappearing to." Tonks shook her head, "You know how he is, and how he can be. He already hits the firewhiskey hard as is. And from what he tells me, him and James Potter practically share a single brain. Hell, when Harry was born I wouldn't have been amazed if Lily hadn't introduced Sirius to him as the man who he'd be competing with for his father's affections." And then she remembered the man in front of her was his.. Husbandthing and instantly backtracked, smiling up at him sheepishly, "I mean in the total.. Hetero-man-love bromance thing the two had going." Well now he may just hex her for insinuating something about his life partner. Tonks: 5,000,000 Intelligence: 0. A good start already.
Tonks nodded along, ready to berate her cousin for abandoning his partner for the duration of an entire week when she frowned, unable to keep back her curiosity. "Anything particularly special about your afternoons?" Maybe he just cooked up a really mean tea. He didn't seem the muggle type but maybe he was like her muggle gran and had to have his soaps recorded. Maybe he was into East Enders. Suddenly, an idea struck her. "Oh! Is this about that.. What's he call it. Furry Little Problem thing?" She blurted out with no small amount of subtlety.
