"I mean..." he clarified, raising his eyebrows at her with a hint of playfulness in his tone. "It's not like you refused to smile at me or anything," Cornelius explained, "You just...didn't give your smile out at the first thing I said."

He gave a brief nod as she asked to make sure that he hadn't been in here before. He could easily say that. Cornelius had barely seen a quarter of the castle, let alone the suits of armor! In the next moment she had offered him a tour, explaining that these were suits of armor that were enchanted, though she didn't know their purpose.

"Wow..." Cornelius muttered, shifting his weight away from the wall and back onto his feet as he followed in the direction she tugged his hand. He glanced around at all of them, the smallest smile on his expression. "So...Tour Guide...does this mean that you're gonna show me other sections of the castle too?"

Aspen considered what he was saying, then of course had to agree. The first thing out of his mouth had been an inquiry into what she was doing and her subsequent figuring that he thought her weird. She shot him a tiny, mischievous grin, accompanied by a nod. She got him.

She was in no hurry to get around the room, treating each of the suits of armor as special, something worthy of stopping to study. "If you want me... to... sure. I spent so much of last year lost, in spite of all the maps I tried to draw, I'd be happy to show you how to get lost." Aspen grinned at her reflection in a particularly shiny Suit. She DID notice that her hair was kind of a mess (crawling under tables and sprinting up stairs will do that..), but didn't think too much on it.

Reaching across herself, Aspen pulled her wand from it's holster (strapped to her forearm), then used it to tap the suit. It immediately sprang to life and bowed to the pair of them in a loud, clangy show. "It's sort of like we live in a giant, ever-changing, live museum." Hogwarts was SO full of things like enchanted suits of armor. Aspen loved it.
