[Remus freezes, like a kid with their hand caught in the cookie jar, when the man in front of him speaks. That's a mistake, but he wasn't expecting anyone to recognize him. Aside from the fact that he's a werewolf, Remus is largely unremarkable, particularly to someone like Lucius Malfoy.
There's a twitch of panicked thought, that maybe he should be run, but-- don't be ridiculous, Lupin. It's not against the law just to be there, and Remus certainly doesn't have any Dark objects on his person. The only evidence is an unusually heavy coin purse.
It's fine, he's fine. A little paranoid and combative from the full moon, but fine. He takes a breath.]
Are you accusing me of something, Mr. Malfoy?
[The fact that he's meeting Lucius' gaze is practically a challenge in itself but he puts a lot of care into sounding as mild as ever, expression neutral even as his muscles tense under his weathered, slightly too short robes.]
