Wary. Cautious. I don't want to-- to get my hopes up.

[action]

[doggedly]

So you settle instead for not having any hope at all? Oh, yeah, well done.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He gives him a flat look.]

It's easier and you know it.

[action]

[doggedly]

It's stupid and dismal. Especially in the case of something like this, which is likely to be fixed and reversed and all.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Likely, but not-- certainly.

[action]

[doggedly]

[He's quiet, just for a beat.]

They'll work it out.

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He nods, quietly, and doesn't say anything at all.]

[action]

[doggedly]

[There's a beat, and then he reaches over to grip at Remus' shoulder, bracingly.]

[action]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Thanks.

[He glances over at him, smiling gratefully.]

Come on. Let's-- I don't know-- go for a walk or something. I can't stand another minute in this room right now.

[action]

[doggedly]

Yeah, all right--

[He hits the button to open the door and shoves his hands in his pockets, with a tentative little grin.]

You could always cook for me, y'know. Brilliant distraction.
