[Remus is quite a good listener. He watches Loki closely as he speaks, a slight frown creasing between his eyes occasionally, an expression of interest and concern, though also occasionally of sympathy and even pity. It's a painful story in some ways, in part because it reminds him of some he's read in books lately when searching through histories of the war - people he thought he knew rediscovered through different eyes, their private pains laid bare. He has to stifle some urges to offer Loki some chocolate or a comforting cup of tea because he doesn't want to interrupt him.]
