Well, we give 'em to each other when we're sick or hurt, too. But you're right. I just did it because I liked to make them smile. [ Lupin smiles. ] I've grown a lot since then, but that hasn't changed.
[ that's why he brought Cairngorm to this garden, too, after all... but he'll let them connect those dots on their own. There's still no smile in sight, but they seem pretty comfortable sitting in the sun with him. He'll take it. ]
