Some part of Sirius desperately wants to know what it is James had thought, but Kieren's movement toward the kitchen catches his attention and he hesitates, something like guilt dropping heavy in his stomach once again. Kieren doesn't seem very upset, but he's clearly needing to remove himself from the situation and Sirius can only wonder what he's done wrong this time.
That and he's a bit afraid to be left alone with James just now, alone where James will likely feel more free to ask invasive questions, many of which Sirius may not know the answer to.
"I just felt you ought to know," he manages, pulling his gaze away from where Kieren's disappeared into the kitchen and back to James. "Told Harry when he was here. Took it rather well, I think. You're not going to be a prat, are you?"
The words come out a bit defensive, masking the deep worry that lies beneath.
