Remus didn't take Sirius' hands, even though they were offered. Instead, he stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Sirius instead. Just quiet for a few moments as he held the other man tightly.
"I know you didn't," he finally said, mouth pressed to Sirius' clavicle. "We're both pretty lost right now. And...and once things are squared away with Dumbledore, if you'd rather be anywhere else, I'll understand."
He'd been preparing himself to lose Sirius for a long time, anyway. Probably since the first time they'd been together, but even more recently. As much as Remus loved Sirius, he wasn't going to hold on to him if he wanted to go.
