Yes, and I've disapprove every time-- and it is not a joke, you know you're going to inevitably to some poor girl and then leave her, just as you do with every girl.

[doggedly]

This from the man who was surprised that I didn't end up married. Make up your mind, d'you have faith in me or not! Anyway, it doesn't always end that way, be fair.

[theshabbiestofmen]

It changes with the wind, honestly. And how else has it ended!

[doggedly]

Amicably. Is that so difficult to believe?

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes.

[doggedly]

You're a cruel man. You're a cruel man who doesn't believe in his best mate.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Absolutely I do. Just not where girls are concerned.

[doggedly]

You're on my side. You do remember that, don't you?

[theshabbiestofmen]

And thus I can criticize you all I please. That's what friends are for.

[doggedly]

Criticise, yes, but side with girls--never. That's unfair. And you always bloody side with them, even metaphorical girls!

[theshabbiestofmen]

According to whom, precisely? The siding with girls bit, I mean, not the fact that I always side with them-- which I don't, but that's an argument for later.

[doggedly]

What d'you mean, according to whom--according to the basic rules of friendship! According to the very name of the Marauders!

[theshabbiestofmen]

I don't remember that when we established our name, actually. As I recall, it was more along the lines of pranks and tormenting Severus.

[doggedly]

And loyalty!

[theshabbiestofmen]

I'm hardly disloyal. You notice you're in my room, and that I've gotten us food.

[doggedly]

Food is like ashes in my mouth if I haven't any actual support.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Well, I'll have it back, if you're going to be like that.

[doggedly]

What--vomit it up? Really?

[theshabbiestofmen]

I meant I'll simply eat it myself.

[doggedly]

Oh, don't be stingy. I love your food. I love you. I love your near-constant disapproval, it's sort of what I imagine having a conscience must be like!

[theshabbiestofmen]

You can pretend as if you don't have one, Sirius, but I know you do. I'm simply serving as a sort of fill-in until you start listening to it.

[doggedly]

You can pretend as if you're a fill-in, but we both know the truth. It's you. It's always you.

[theshabbiestofmen]

So don't complain, then, when I act it.

[doggedly]

Oh, I have to complain. Those are our assigned parts, dear Moony.

[theshabbiestofmen]

You don't, actually, and seeing as we're not characters in a story, you're really quite free to break away from stereotypical roles.
