When Remus looked into a certain pair of hard black eyes, his insides caught on fire. It was not refulgent, like the sun: some constant explosion millions of miles away. It was close up and constant, without a cycle or a pull. It neither held some hidden wonder and beauty nor flickered inside him with a light that made his wanting more noble. It scorched him with a heat that didn't matter in any deep emotional way, it was both dark and feral and all the same satisfying. Which, Lupin supposed was resplendent in it's own way, for a werewolf.
