Gotcha.
"How dare thee laugh at me!" Spike retorted in his deep voice. "I am not amused. Tell me who dares defy Sir - "
The second jelly bean struck the armor just as Spike had been fumbling for a suitable name for a highly ranked knight. Where it had landed, the Prefect didn't have a clue. He shuffled about, trying to stay concealed whilst he felt around for it. He hadn't heard it bounce again, which considering the stone floor, was highly suspicious.
Meh, it couldn't see it. Which probably meant it was stuck in his hair. However, if he reached for his hair, then the game would most
definitely be up.
Ah well, might as well leave it be and proceed as before then.
