"He never approached me before that night, no. He must have known quite a bit about my parents and I, since it was done as some sort of revenge against my father, but he just approached me that one night."
The squeeze of the knee brings a small smile out of him, and he does relax a little. Up until the point that Harry asks those last few questions, because they are just so...random to him.
This part is a little harder since he has never quite admitted this outloud, so he takes a bit longer to answer. "It... In a way it does stick with you. Scents are very easy to pick out, especially around the full moon. At a close distance it would be easy to recognize it almost immediately."
Another pause, and Remus is up and pacing again while he thinks. Only for a moment, though, because he turns to look at Harry almost at once. Why? is etched so clearly in his features, but instead he just answers, "I won't pretend as if I know what Fenrir would do, because I truly have no idea. But my guess is that if he let someone go without biting them, he was simply toying with them. If Fenrir wants to attack, he does. If he wants to bite, terrorize and destroy, he does. Unless my memory's wrong, I don't think I have heard of him simply taunting and letting someone go without biting them."
