[He's not the sort, no, but he's not entirely above doing something that's technically illegal even if, in his particular case, it's not immoral. And so, Knockturn Alley.]

She did.

[He eyes a nearby clock, shifting from one foot to the other anxiously. It's getting late, and he still has things to do before nightfall, and not just because of curfew. He's spent too much time having serendipitous meetings today.]

I think she headed that way, you may run into her if you look. My apologies, but I really need to be going. I'm easy to find on m.i.a.v.i., if you'd like to talk more another time.

[Technically illegal but definitely moral have been the keywords of Ron's life, lately. Or like. For the past seven years...

He shakes his head, a quiet laugh stuck in his throat. Hermione is here, and she must be fine because she wanted to go to a library. Bloody hell but he's relieved. That's obviously why he doesn't cotton onto Lupin's impatience faster.]

What - oh, yeah. Yeah, I would - are you all right? [He lifts his hand, like he's starting to reach out, but - well, Remus is a stranger now, and that's a bit weird, isn't it?]

[Well... there's a bit of grey between moral and immoral... selling your own blood probably falls there.

Remus seems almost surprised at the question, but-- well, he really does look awful today, and he knows it. He brushes off the concern, maybe a little brusquely.] I'm fine, thank you. I really can't stay and chat any longer. It was nice meeting you.

[Yikes, Remius. Y i k e s.

The brusqueness surprises Ron for all of a second before he reminds himself that young-adult-Lupin doesn't know him at all and Ron would probably by ruder if he was in the same position.]

Sure. I'll talk to you later, then.

[And when he eventually realizes what moon phase he stepped into in 1980, he will realize just what a dope he was. Would bringing chocolate be weird? Ah whatever, he'll figure it out later. For now he just waves, a touch awkwardly, and parts ways with Remus: he's got people to find.]
