Once again, Sirius' comment seemed to have struck something in Remus, making him smile, toothy and almost sheepish. He once again shifted his weight, attempting to drown out the smile by biting his cheek. "I don't know, sometimes it's easier to just take the plunge."<br/>Neither of them were allowed much time to ponder just how metaphorical Remus' response had been, before someone called Remus' name from across the street, catching Remus' attention.<br/>"Oi, Remus," Lily called. She and Kingsley had stopped on the opposite sidewalk where Remus had left them. Next to her, Kingsley spread his arms out in an unspoken question. "Are you coming?"<br/>Though Remus hummed out a stutter, he answered too readily to have actually hesitated. "No, I think I'm gonna stick around a bit -"<br/>He had taken a step off to Sirius side to better eye his friends, but, once having said it out loud, Remus turned his upper body towards Sirius. Inattentively, he leaned in a bit. "That's if you don't mind, of course."
