Sirius grinned at that, liking the tone of that a lot better. They had to believe that they could survive this, otherwise they really didn't stand a chance. It all seemed very bleak right in that instant, but Sirius fully believed that they would be able to make it. He leaned in to place a soft kiss to Remus' cheek, feeling slightly better about how Remus was handling the situation. It was even harder when the full moon was close and Sirius knew that, but he still wanted to make sure that they stayed positive in this.<br/>"That's the spirit," he said with a crooked grin, not minding Remus' hands on his shoulders, feeling pretty good about their embrace in general. Sure, it as mostly to try and make Remus comfortable, but it also helped to comfort himself. He could lose any of his friends at any second, so it helped him to keep them close and just feel that they were there. "I am not going to allow you to die before me."
