Sirius' little<span style="font-style: italic">terrible</span>knocked the air out of Moony's lungs. He felt awful on Sirius' behalf, sharing his disappointment in his parents. He had really hoped their behaviour would change when they only saw their son thrice in a year, but it seemed that the tension between them continued to grow even when apart, making Sirius' the target of months worth of unresolved irritation.<br/>At the mention of Sirius' hair, Moony's eyes flickered, though he remained silent. While Moony had always taken an issue with his own hair, enough for him to recently cut it short, it was apparent to him that it didn't translate to Sirius' hair; Moony's heart flipped in his chest whenever Sirius ran a hand through it, often wanting to do so himself. Because of that, he didn't comment on it, even when Sirius was in clear need for encouragement.<br/>"Nothing," he admitted plainly, seeing no point in pretending otherwise. Sirius' departure had left a big void in Moony's life. While he felt no real resentment towards Sirius for leaving, it would also be pointless pretending it had managed to make him more sociable with other peers. "Just been here, really."<br/>Needing to move to ease the lull the topics had left over the interaction, Moony shifted, stepping around Sirius to the broken ladder.<br/>"Haven't had anybody come out here to fix it," he said, wanting it to sound off handed when really it was a shy confession that he still honoured the promises he'd made with Sirius years ago. Moony climbed the ladder undeterred by it's, stepping onto the remaining nobs where the broken steps were bolted to the poles. "Still does the job, though."
