[ it's true that he might only be able to think this way because he actually got to meet them separately - but that's all the more reason for him to want the two of them to stay apart. He's said it before: he's lucky he got to see Cairngorm like this. Lupin's already said what he had to say on the matter of them rejoining, and they aren't going to be able to come to a decision immediately, besides; he doesn't offer any complaints on the "currently" comment, only responding with a small smile.
It's rare for them to thank him, but he feels like he's hearing it more often lately, and that makes his smile a little bigger. ]
I'm a fast learner. [ that's his cue to leave, isn't it? The distance between them feels a little closer than usual in this moment, and he's still concerned about their mental health; he, too, is faintly disappointed that he can't stay. They'd probably be annoyed if he hung around for too long, though, wouldn't they? He's pretty sure this fondness he feels is one-directional.
Lupin shifts, standing up from his chair. ]
I'll come over any time. All you need to do is call on me. [ the temptation to make some grand gesture with fancy words is there, but he decides against it. ] That's what friends are for.
