"Yeah. I guess so. After." He mumbled, hoping that After would be later rather than sooner. Nod. Nod. "Bioluminescence is the second most interesting thing in here. Second after you." Of course. West meant it okay? And he was trying really hard to rally himself and salvage this whole thing.
And she was tugging him again. And investigating the gramophone. "Its a gramophone.... it runs on magic." And obviously, given it was doing it at that moment, it played music.
"I won't help if you don't want." If he didn't. Did he? Why was he all mumbly now?
"Bioluminescence is third, you forgot to count yourself," Alice informed him, still examining the gramophone.
"Gra-mo-phone. It looks like a funnel." It was hard for her to guess what music was playing, too, was that a familiar tune? The muggle thing was inspected by her for a little while longer, and then she began tugging him back over to the table in the middle.
West had put a lot of work into it, she could tell, with all the china and silverware and candles and things.
"I'm sitting now." She was, see? Tugged a chair out for herself and everything, still clinging onto his fingers and staring at him intently.
.. she was trying really, really hard not to talk about bugs anymore. Really.
