The remarkable thing was, Felix did understand perfectly. Though he had not experienced a great deal of rejection in his adult life, Remus' was probably the kindest, warmest rejection he'd ever heard. Felix had never in his life been turned down for sex and decided to like the man even more because of it. Remus was honest with him, and if he couldn't lure the charming intellectual and his rake of a boyfriend into bed with him, honesty was all he could ask for. He even let Remus touch him, without giving him the usual I-see-what-you're-doing look.
He did turn to watch Remus find Sirius in the crowd -- with a fellow wizard for a lover, that was a luxury Felix envied just slightly -- and was only faintly surprised to see Sirius entangled with someone else. "As long as you don't mind the occasional well-earned compliment, I won't suggest it again, darling," Felix answered, light and musical and not in the least offended. He didn't even seem particularly upset.
Rather than belabor the point (because he had just been rejected, and no matter how kind he didn't care to discuss it for very long), Felix tipped his head toward Sirius. "You don't mind that he... enjoys his own second-bests?"
