"No way am I wasting a galleon just to test it out. Someone else can do it." West said. "I'll tell Dylan though." Of course.
More watching.
"The dungeons are terrible. I can't even explain it. The beds stink so we're not sleeping in them at the moment, but it won't be long until we get everything clean. We've been working pretty hard." And West had his own blankets anyway since he had a favourite one that he brought from home.
West focused on Dora. Like when you did magic and you really had to concentrate? Like that. He nodded a few times as she spoke. "Oh he's probably showering again. He's not doing so great with all this mess. I'm looking out for him though." Of course he was. Theo was like... aside from his own self, West's biggest concern.
But was he seriously about to get fed? How awesome was that!
They headed down the stairs.

Alice was really grateful that Dora was tugging her along, so she didn't even have to put much thought into moving and got to focus all her attention on his face. His face needed her attention, clearly.
But who was talking? Did they not realize she was busy looking and that it required her full concentration? A look of irritation nearly crossed her face before she noticed that it was Dora speaking, and she reluctantly turned her head away.
"We can try out with a knut. Like put one in and see if someone else can go through a turnstile with it." Experimenting with them and all that.
"I don't think ours are as bad as the dungeons, from what I heard. Nothing some good spells can't fix," she informed them, redirecting her gaze back to West and extending her hand that wasn't still being dragged by Dora to tickle the pear.
"Thinsley's not holding up well?" Alice was on her best behavior today, she didn't even snicker about his fastidiousness. She deserved extra food for that.
Her eyes flickered back to Dora as she gave the Ravenclaw a look of incredulity.
"I'm not sleeping in another bathroom. The last one was a pain enough. The room, maybe, or the towers, but no bathrooms." She swung open the fruit portrait and entered the kitchen, looking around for the elf that was supposedly still at the school. Was he not in there today?
"What kind of stuff are you going to cook? I can fetch ingredients for you or whatever to speed things up." So she got to eat sooner and all.
Dora was totally aware of all the attention she wasn't getting from these two, and she couldn't tell which of the pair was worst. Honestly. She might as not even BE there.
They got all sorts of displeased looks, since Dora did like attention from the right people. Them being the right sort of people.
The looks changed completely though Theo was brought up again, and her looks turn all sorts of pleased and appreciated in West's direction.
"Oh, good. I offered to get him some new sheets and a new pillow." She was still going to get him some too, so he wouldn't get so upset over all of this again, but really there was no making anyone totally happy here. Not that she wouldn't try when it came to him.
"I heard we have loads of dust, but not much else. Easy to fix, or get someone to fix." Since she wasn't keen on cleaning a common room she had to pay to get into.
"Theo told me they had rats and spiders running about." She gave Alice a look that said this was something to be concerned about cause it was her Theo and all.
Dora didn't drop their hands until they were properly into the kitchens and she had them both seated.
"That's.. that's not what I meant." Gosh. Alice didn't even remember, or wasn't remembering cause of reasons. One at a time she took both their faces and trained them on her.
"Hi, remember me? I'm Dora. Siddie. I like attention too." Really, she did. They both got significant looks.
"I'll cook whatever you want, or I can cook pasta. You can help gather if you want." It was up to them really, if they could decide on something. She turned and went to grab general cookware, not really looking to see if they would follow to help or not.
