He had been there a long time and still got confused.
"Yes, Yes misses I'm Pips, I help clean and cook for the castle." His big eyes moved to the armor and back to her. "Oh no misses Pips can do this, I can do it quick."
"Yes, first years." Rayna said. Pips' information gave Rayna another idea.
"I'll be sure and use extra caution. Thank you. Any place you would recommend we explore, Pips?" A resident of the castle must have some suggestions.
The girl looked to all of the suits of armor in the corridor, there seemed to be an awful lot for just one house elf to clean...all by themselves.
"You're sure, Pips?" Rayna asked, eyeing the armor.
'I might be able to use a spell for this!' But she didn't want to be in the way, either.
"If we're bothering you, we can leave if you'd like. I don't want to be in the way." Her mother used to shoo her out of whichever room was being cleaned. She was used to it.
