Grins don't have smells, or colours--even if they did, he wouldn't be able to see the colours--but the air bends around a grin. Things change, infinitesimally. Prickly fur at the back of Padfoot's neck settles a little and his gait is easier, now that he's earned that grin. If he were all dog, this would be easy.

He's not all dog. Other bits inform him, remind him. Cora, Tyke, James. James James James. The ship, the depths, a wreck he's scoured, picked through, sniffed through, bit and kicked and Summoned and pushed, in turns. Bloody finger from a cut. Sweat, angry. His fur is all prickled again and he twists away from Remus and dashes forward into the open cave, tail drooped low. These are not things that he wants to think about. That's why he's here. It occurs to him then that he's left Remus behind, but he doesn't go back just yet. The air smells funny in here, dry and damp all at once, big vast echoy cave smell. The clack of his nails becomes loud, the huff of his breath, all magnified and echoed, a dog five times his size. Perhaps he'll stay this way forever.
