For the first time in days, Remus felt himself relax some under the feeling of Amelia’s lips pressed against his. He kissed her back softly, not really having the energy to deepen it any but this was perfect. To just be back with her, to be kissing her after he had been so afraid that he wouldn’t make it through the moon. It no longer mattered how injured he was or how much pain he was in, he was back with Amelia and Remus knew that while it didn’t heal him completely, he gave him a sense that things were going to be okay.
"It’s okay." He whispered softly, though the smile on his face grew at her sweet gesture of pushing the hair out of his eyes. And when Amelia’s fingers ghosted against his skin, Remus couldn’t help but lean into the touch. "I figured you were probably busy with something, I was rushing around like a mad man anyways before I left." And while it would have been nice to have seen her before he had left for the weekend, he was here now, and that was all that mattered to him.
He just sat in the chair for a moment, allowing himself to gather his strength back up from his journey up the library. “Were you getting ready to leave?” Remus asked as he shifted some on the chair, wincing a bit as he did so, remembering how she had her head in her bag when he had entered the library. “If so, I don’t mind walking with you if you were. I mean, that is if you’re not busy with something.” Remus smiled softly, just wanting to spend time with Amelia. Even if it was just walking around the school or doing whatever she needed to get done.
Though Remus didn't say anything, Amelia could tell he was hurting. He was many things, but a good pretender was not always one of them. He could see how much effort it took him to even move a small portion of his body, and her heart pinged painfully as he sat their, obviously in pain. In that moment she wanted nothing more than to get him safely into a bed where he could rebuild his strength.
"Don't be mad, Remus. The only place I'm going is to Gryffindor Tower to tuck you in." She lifted her hand and let it linger softly across his face. "I'm never too busy for you, but there's no way I'd march you around the castle after your weekend.
She perched herself on the desk, staring at him thoughtfully, not wanting to rush him into moving. She knew that he would stand when he was ready, and she didn't want to push him. Amelia knew deep down that had she wanted to traipse around the school, Remus would have done so with her, but she wasn't willing to put him through that pain. All she wanted was for him to get some well deserved rest.
