By that difference, for her, the actions taken when Remus was in control would matter more than those when he was completely gone. Those latter... she had accepted any possibility regarding them back at the time when she first decided to follow her heart and love him. Because she hadn't known what he had or hadn't done... and she had accepted all the possibilities. She may not have seen Moony fully in control, but she had seen mornings after werewolves, not on the potion, had attacked, even before she started working for the Order in the first place. And she had accepted that with her eyes open. And the possibility for it, whether actuality or not, had been admitted into her heart. Years and years and years ago.
Here and now... Tonks smiled very softly. "Now isn't this a change of pace. Usually it's you who's doing the actual work and me offering to help." She tilted her chin up, mock-proudly, and magnanimously... tried to joke, "well then, you may!"
If touch was not fully welcome, and questions definitely fully untimely... maybe she could at least attempt at a few light-hearted smiles. I used to make him smile and laugh all the time...
