He knows Lupin has said many times that he doesn't really believe they're related, but he seems open to the idea; just outright saying something like that though is a bit of a step up. He feels that little pang of guilt, again, that it isn't quite what he thinks it is.

But he's still touched. And he doesn't want Lupin to feel bad.]

[There's a pause, and a sigh as he looks down at his hands.]

I'm... sorry I'm such a reckless great-grandson.
