[Remus whirls and somehow isn't as surprised as he ought to be to see that she does actually know him. They've met before. He blinks a few times and cracks a well-mannered grin.]

Oh, hello. I didn't expect it to be you.

[He watches her make herself right at home and glances around himself, a touch self-conscious.]

Yeah, it's not half-bad, is it? Almost worth having to be at Mistress's beck and call.

[His smile widens a little.]

Almost.
