Checking the watch on his left wrist, he noticed the time. Exactly how long had he been polyjuiced?! It was only supposed to last up to an hour! He had walked out of the dungeons with Brae, had a short chat, and then had ambled all the way over to the front gate. Time was ticking away quickly, and the effects of the potion were bound to wear off soon! What an embarrassment it would be to turn back into himself and to have Emma run, screaming her head off, about Theo being a psycho!
Theo as Brae picked up the pace. "Sorry, I'm just... hungry. You know me. I need my nightly four-course meal," Chuckling light laughter that, oddly enough, came easily to him and sounded completely authentic. Pulling a Brae, Theo had forgotten that Emma had even spoke with his mania over losing time. "He's fine, yeah, I just saw him earlier! Studying away, you know!" He forced out a laugh, which sounded like a weird bark, and immediately shut himself up. That could have been an immediate giveaway to his true identity.
It was now seeming that Braeden was acting a bit strangely, there was no denying that. But Alfie had no time to put her finger on what was different, she was too busy worrying about her own cover! She wasn't talking enough, it must've been weirding the boy out! She quickly summed up Brae's weirdness to hunger and focused more on her own, keeping up with him as she tried to figure out what Emma would say in this situation. She, Alfie, would much prefer to remain silent and stare at something as a solution, but that obviously wasn't an option. "Well, I'm glad he's okay, but I can't say I regret beating the 'claws," she spoke up with a rather believable Emma Malfoy smirk, straightening up her shoulders more so she stood more confidently.
"Anyway, I'm pretty hungry too, Brae," she muttered, glancing up at the castle as it got closer and closer. "I feel like I haven't eaten in a while. You know, because sometimes you just get caught up in things, and you don't remember that you need to eat! It happens to me sometimes, I feel like I've been distracted all day," the girl began to ramble, making up for her quiet Alfie-like attitude before with more than necessary talk. "So yeah, I haven't eaten in a while. And then I was practicing in the pitch and I lost track of time." At the end of her speech, the blonde Malfoy flashed the boy at her side a smile, that didn't necessarily scream Emma but definitely didn't point out Alfie. That was what she was going for. She too was beginning to be aware of their hour ticking by, and worried just slightly. It hadn't felt like that much time had gone by, but...who really knew?!
