Kieren excuses himself from the table and steps in closer to Sirius long enough to hiss in his ear. He watches him dart away then as he finishes serving up his own dish and his smile is a bit strained when he turns back around.
"Perfectly alright," he promises though he knows it's not really true at all.
He sets his plate down on the table then before taking his own seat where he downs another sip of whiskey. He pauses then, pulling in a breath, ostensibly to wait for Kieren. The pause seems a bit awkward in a way it never is when he's with Harry. This is something he needs to do, he knows, essentially the whole point of the dinner. Kieren will have his head if he doesn't step up soon.
And Harry deserves to know.
"Harry, there's something I need to tell you," he manages finally, fingers of one hand nervously toying with his fork. "About... about me and Kieren."
