[Remus takes a seat when offered, chuckling softly.]
Well, I adore them too, Mr. Black. Your children are a delight to work with.
[His smile brightens as Regulus continues to his offer. Even if he wanted to say no, he'd be a fool to. There just wasn't going to be a better deal somewhere else in his field.]
I would be happy to accept this as a permanent position. I know we discussed this briefly during my first interview, have you decided whether you want me living in-home or not?
[Honestly, that's something Remus has a bit of mixed feelings about-- on the one hand, no commute and room and board taken care of are unique and rare perks in this line of work. On the other, he wouldn't really have "off" time in that case. Maybe officially, but he's not going to deny a child something they need just because he's technically off the clock. And as he becomes more of an established presence in the house, it's likely they'll start to come to him when they need something in the middle of the night, rather than their father.
But the idea of not having to stay in his tiny studio flat with the broken heating system and the utter lack of water pressure and the roof that leaks when it rains... it would be hard to say no if Regulus asked for that.]
