Alfie gave a bit of a grimace as Emma listed off the different things they could do to get ahead of Theo, each one sounding rather mean to the girl who was rather partial to Theodore. But it was all in the name of competition, right? And as long as they didn't hurt the boy, it wouldn't hurt to get ahead just a little... Opening her mouth to reply, her large blue eyes absentmindedly glanced over to Theo who was still jogging up ahead. But before she could actually get any words out, she heard a loud battle cry coming from nowhere.

Eyes widening, she just had time to glance up in the direction the noise was coming from before she was being toppled to the ground alongside Emma, both of the girls easily tumbling beneath the weight of Braeden Stonem. Letting out a loud surprised squeak of sorts as she fell, the little blonde Ravenclaw seemed a bit shaken up as she sat up, a delicate hand coming up to gently hold her head. Ow... Being attacked from straight above by a tall, gangly lion wasn't exactly the least painful of experiences. Blonde eyebrows furrowed, she glanced up only to find that their attacker was none other than Braeden Stonem himself, obviously out to protect the other half of his bromance. "Brae!" Alfie scolded softly, though there was vague amusement still in her soft features.
