Since part of him is still focused on that particular reaction from earlier, he doesn't look as surprised as he normally would have been.
He can't deny he is taken aback by it, however. Of all the things he could have expected Harry to ask, this is definitely not one of them.
Taking a seat on a couch across from Harry, Remus just leans his elbows on his knees and looks down at the floor briefly to gather his thoughts.
"He chased me. I don't know if that is the toying you are referring to. He kept...snarling and growling while doing so, knowing it was... Well, that it was causing the reaction that he wanted." A small wry smile tugs at his lips, and he adds quietly as he leans against the couch. "He needed me to be terrified, I suppose, before he could...do what he did."
It's terrifying just how vulnerable talking about that night makes him, even if it is to Harry, but he doesn't show it at all. Instead he just looks at him a bit curiously. "May I ask what brought this up?"
