[Remus smiles, relaxing a bit in his seat. She doesn't seem to be expecting a scene out of him-- just a conversation. That's a relief. Not that he'd be entirely opposed to doing a scene with her, but it hadn't been his intention for the night.]

It's a good place for that. I don't know that I'd be comfortable in a place that doesn't take our safety into this much consideration.
[ It's easy to agree with what he says- and it's true. ]
You probably shouldn't be. [Remus' smile gets a bit weary at the edges.]
I've been out of the community for a bit, but some friends recommended this place... Now I have to admit they were right all along and I do like it here. [The wry joke is accompanied by a playful eyeroll.]

She grins back over at him and shakes her head. ]
It wasn't- I just meant here here. [ She pauses as she places her elbow on the table and her chin on her hand to lean in a little. ]
What do you think?

She takes another sip of her water and laughs at the eyeroll. ]
Is there really anything worse than admitting your friends actually know something? [ A beat and she holds out her hand ] My friends call me Tonks.

He takes her hand, giving it a cordial shake.] Remus. Nice to meet you, Tonks.
