The boy frowned when Lexi said what she said. It surprised him, it saddened him - what happened to the 'I walk away .. rather than having fights' Lexi. There was no controlling Ryden of course, she was angry .. really really angry. He understood why. Yet another Gryffindor was bullying her. And it was Lexi, this time - the girl he was starting to be friends with. Orlando was disappointed. AND getting panicky by the minute. HE wanted to help Ryden but wasn't sure HOW. Because it was obviously all going nowhere. He decided that before the professors showed up, he had to get Ryden out of there.
However, before he could try to do anything - Lexi had cast a spell at Ryden and basically insulted her .. really rudely about her being little. "Seriously, Lexi. I thought you said .. you wanted to set an example." he stated - grabbing Ryden's arm even before she turned toward him. "That was very rude." He said, looking at the girl - Where was the Lexi he had been talking to in the Common Room?
When Ryden's expression demanded, he helped her - Orlando dragged her away from the crowd. "Come on, time to leave!" he said - his expression serious. Before they left, Orlando reached for his wand, flicking it lightly at her direction, he muttered the counter curse for Lexi's spell.
Ryden could kill him later.
Time to LEAVE?! What on earth was Koala Boy talking about? Silly boy, she was NOT leaving until she'd at least gotten one of these mad pirates to admit they'd been pirate-y. Or to see that mad girl hung, drawn and quartered. That was also an acceptable outcome of this. Eyes wide and still with no voice, Ryden struggled against him as he pulled her away, only realising once they were a bit further away from the group that she could speak again.
"ORLANDO. I'm serious. I'm not leaving. I will not be made a fool of by a group of insane kids..." she trailed off, her head whipping around back to the group as they all went all pirate again.
"LOOK. What is UP with that?!" she ranted, eyeing them murderously.

Ryden snarled as yet ANOTHER mad pirate - this time one even smaller than her - talked to her. Black spotted? LAD?!?!?! WHAT IN THE WORLD DID THIS GIRL THINK SHE WAS DOI- Oh. But of course. They all thought they were PIRATES so they could just hand out black spots. Technically, the Mini Mad Pirate had just cursed her to death. AND called her a boy. Eyes narrowing, Ryden stood her ground, shooting a dirty look at both Mini Mad Pirate and the Slytherin boy she almost punched who, incidentally, had also blackspotted her as a boy, but added nothing.
Perhaps Koala Boy was right. Plus, from all the way over here, Ryden began to see that the pirates were not just the ONE group. They were two. Two groups quarreling that silly red X that had been duplicated on all of them. Which had BETTER not be actual blood, otherwise she'd lose whatever sanity she had left and go on a killing rampage. She'd massacre them all.
... Oh, and to add to the crazy, a couple not too far off were kissing.
Eyes swiveling as a newcomer arrived, the brunette sighed and looked towards the ceiling. Ignorant people annoyed her immensely.
"People are acting like pirates over this bizarre X that's both on the wall and on our foreheads AND they apparently don't realise they're pirates. Unless of course this is one huge practical joke and they're just pulling people's legs," Ryden briefed her, before turning back to Koala Boy.
"What's Tate like?" she asked, rather out of the blue, because she had a feeling that if she talked to the pirate people she'd either blow herself up or one of them. And Ryden didn't think that anyone would like the repercussions of that. At any rate, he was coming.
