Sirius was overwhelming, to say the least. On several occasions Remus had to fight the urge to cast surprised glances in Sirius' general direction, not even sure what he would do once looking at the other. There were no way Remus was in any way or form<span style="font-style: italic">better</span>than anybody in Sirius' league, and even the irrational fear of Sirius making fun of Remus felt uncomfortably possible.<br/>So, instead of risking becoming the butt of the joke, Remus snorted out a laugh. "Careful you don't whore yourself out too cheaply - I'm sure you're worth more than a bowl of chili."<br/>As a result of how on edge Remus felt by the conversation and the tone, the retort came out much harsher than initially expected, not feeling like they had established the tone in which they were comfortable addressing each other. Thankful for the kitchen layout, Remus turned to find a couple of plates all without having to face Sirius.
