Cute, cute, cute. And beautifully understated. So like Remus to slip in more sugar under the table, and so like Tonks to notice and change her ways without saying anything about it. Thank you; this made me smile. :)

:D Thanks for the review! Remus is so predictable. :)

I love how the almost-disdainful commentary slowly (and how you manage slowly in a drabble I'll never know ;) ) transforms into almost-reluctant friendship--and how Tonks' confidence seems to improve as it does. Lovely.

I don't know how I manage it either, lol.

Thanks for the lovely review! :)

This is lovely. I really like the idea of Tonks' mug being Spellotaped back together, and how much effort she goes to to get Remus' tea right. And Remus not wanting her to see him adding extra sugar in case her feelings were hurt was a really nice touch.

Thank you. :)

Tonks' mug being Spellotaped back together

It was either that, or a plastic mug. :D

ARGH - LJ ate my comment!!

Well anyway, let's try again. I really like this. We see so many fics with Remus paying attention to these small details that it's really fun and nice to see Tonks doing it.

Had you considered extending this? It would be neat to follow it through to the "relationship change" point.

Loved it!

Thanks for the review!

Had you considered extending this?

Maybe eventually, but I have a few other sequels planned for the ficathon. Certainly not this month. :)

*sighs dreamily* I love the subtlety of the changes in their relationship...all through cups of tea! =D

Thanks for the review! :D
