[It always warms something in his chest, when the others refuse to physically lash out at him. Right now, the feeling hurts a bit anyways because he loves them all so much, and everything just got that much more terrifying.
Of course he's moving forward when Lily moves to the ground, settling against her other side so she's sandwich between two of her boys. His own arms settle over Remus' around her, so it feels just a little like he's hugging them both. That helps, at least.]
We will.
[It wavers slightly escaping his lips, but he squeezes lightly.]
Got five heads t'put together and figure it out, nn? We'll get it sorted.
[Merlin, he'd take down You-Know-Who and his entire army by himself if he had to, just to get this to work. Just to get Lily feeling safe again and that fear out of Remus' eyes and to prevent the likely strain and panic from James and Peter when they tell them later. But if that had been a feasible option, Sirius would've done it long before this.
So instead they're here, clinging to one another tight in order to simply breathe.]
