Really, he was worse than a newborn pup with the way he scared so easily. "And now there's two of her. Two." Eyes almost as wide as Alfie's, he gave her a meaningful look, as if only doom was to befall those who came across the ever-so-evil Blair twins.
Their conversation was interrupted by a pitiful creak of metal. Blue eyes glancing down, Theo realized that he had forgotten all about the suit of armor that lay in disarray on the floor beside them. Alfie was distracting, but... "Caretaker, right," He nodded in the direction of the helmet, which clanked shut as if impatient as his slowness. Turning back to Alfie, he laughed lightly and tugged on her hand slightly. "We're off to find the caretaker, I suppose, to fix this poor guy up?"
Alfie gave a brief nod of understanding as Theo mentioned that Ruby wasn't very easy to deal with, watching as he continued to point out that there were now two of the Blairs. The blonde couldn't help but feel bad that he honestly thought this, knowing herself that it wasn't true. But she couldn't give away Ruby's secret, it wasn't her place. She wasn't even supposed to know herself! And so the blonde merely flashed the boy an amused grin as he gave her a meaningful look, all too amused with him.
The blonde's attention was then taken away as a creak of metal was heard from the floor a few feet away, drawing her large blue eyes over to find the suit of armor she had knocked over earlier. Alfie gave a bit of a guilty grimace at the sight of this, staring sympathetically at the many pieces of armor as Theo tugged on her hand and suggested they go find the caretaker to fix up the poor guy. Alfie nodded immediately, though her eyes remained locked on the armor for another moment, blonde eyebrows furrowed as she looked over at him with guilt clouding her large eyes. "I really am sorry," she called softly, almost hopefully to the armor, as though she had brought terrible injury to a real person rather than a suit that could be fixed up in a matter of an hour without permanent damage. She finally returned her gaze to Theo and flashed the boy a soft smile, at least glad she had gotten the chance to see the boy a little earlier because of this fiasco.
