Sirius laughed at he question, not because it was a bad question, but because it was so hard to define how exactly to define the relationship between James and him. They hadn't known each other for long, but Sirius would most definitely define them as friends.<br/>"I guess you could say that," he said with a shrug, figuring that if Remus was a friend of James he would understand how vague things could be with their roommate sometimes. At least, that was the impression Sirius had gotten through his short friendship with James, but James did seem like the type who acted very differently depending on who he interacted with.<br/>"I lived here when James bought the place. He was kind enough to let me stay," he explained, not wanting to assume that James had given Remus the full story. It was only then Sirius took his time to really look at his new roommate and notice how he actually looked. Remus was very obviously mixed, with broad lips, tan skin and kinky hair. He was dark brown, yet very pale, making for an odd contrast. He as beautiful in a very odd sort of way and Sirius found himself intrigued by his new roommate. "How do you know James?"
