Characters: James, Remus, and Sirius
Setting: World's End Pub
Content: TBD
Status: Private : Open

James arrived at the pub a little before noon, not wanting to make his friends wait and pretty sure his reputation for lateness had most likely always driven Remus up the wall (as it had with Lily, he'd learned). He said hello to Lisa and Paul (the grumpy kitchen worker was actually a nice enough guy, especially if you were on Lisa's good side, which James made sure to be) and then took a booth in the front corner and faced the door to keep an eye out. Not that the place was very busy - they had brunch but not a huge selection and James figured the younger people of the settlements weren't necessarily the 'brunch set' like there had been back in London.

Lisa brought him three menus and a coffee and he ordered a bloody mary - it was brunch after all - and waited for Remus and Sirius to arrive. Part of him was nervous, especially as he'd decided to tell them about himself and Lily and he was afraid Sirius might take him to task to make sure he didn't screw things up. He'd also recently heard that an Auror named Nymphadora Tonks had come through the Portal and according to the datapad, she'd been married to Remus at some point. In a way, he hoped he and Remus could commiserate - both had children they'd never known and a wife they didn't realize they'd had, right? And everyone needed a friendly ear sometimes, what else were best friends for, even over space and time and death?

"It was with Lily," Sirius pointed out with a broad grin. "The minute he asked her out, he was a changed man. Didn't see him looking at a skirt when she was around, either."

Sirius lifted his glass and clicked it against James. He was pleased but optimistic. "The Big C? Give the bloke a minute to breath, Remus. Not everyone jumps in with both feet like you did, mate."

"I think she's realized you aren't the same and you may never be that man. I think she enjoys having you around because you're familiar. Not that she doesn't really like you, don't get me wrong. She may want full commitment down the road, but doesn't every woman?" Remus finished, and turned to Sirius.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," he said innocently enough. Remus wasn't that man either.
