The fact that Sirius knew the discomfort the question brought Remus only seemed to amplify his already hurting joints. In an attempt to maintain his calm, he exhaled, eyes fixed onto the crowd in the Square.<br/>When Sirius addition came, the build up of pain was too much for Remus to hold his tongue.<br/>"Well, don't," he snapped, too readily. His eyes darted back to Sirius and by the mere sight Remus could tell his words were hurting Sirius. In the back of his mind, he knew Sirius had probably worried about Remus every single day of their decade long friendship, and the thought alone made Remus' stomach turn.
