Some way or another, the now honey-coloured blonde had made her way to the front gate, amusement on her features as she glanced down continuously at these hands she wasn't used to. Every once in a while a strand of blonde hair would come into her vision and she would nearly jump in surprise she was still Alfie at the strange colour and length of it.
Before she got too far, however, her gaze settled upon... Was...was that....Braeden? Her eyes widened at the sight of him. Uh oh! What was she supposed to do?! She was standing just a few yards from the boy, so she was positive he'd seen her. She couldn't just run away! Before she could think about this too much, she was distracted at the sight of the lion... winking? Her eyebrows rose. What was he doing winking at other girls? Alfie was just getting worked up on behalf of her friend Emma when she saw Braeden take a fall and other thoughts vanished.
"Braeden!" she called as she approached the boy cautiously, eyes as wide as saucers but a different colour for once. The tone was quiet and soft, similar to that of Alfie, but the voice was completely Emma.
Theodore jumped a foot in the air, feeling particularly like a rabbit, like Brae, as someone shocked the living daylights out of him. Could it be? Oh no! Of all the people to run into, and Theodore had to run into Braeden's girlfriend.
His girlfriend, technically. He could have crawled behind the nearest shrub and hid, but that would have been more like Theodore, not the little lion man. "Emma! Emm!"
He smiled a crooked smile, a lopsided grin that the Gryff wore more often than not.
Act cool, you can do this! He told himself. Dusting himself off, he gave Emma a prompt squeeze, surprised at his own strength as he momentarily lifted her off of the ground with his hug before setting her down again. "What brings you... well, here? Love?" He turned to glance at the front gate, taking a hand to scratch behind his ear. Playing the part of the enamored lover boy was going to be tough, but he would have to push through it.
