She did, however, have a particular set up in motion - an array of dominos she had found in the common room earlier and had been pulled to make use of. She had found an older Gryffindor boy utilizing them in something called a Rube Goldberg machine...and he had been very disgruntled when she pointed out how unnecessary his set up was. She could not understand the consternation with being presented facts.

The echo of a 'hello' drew her attention for a moment and her dark eyes darted around the corridor to find the source. Silent and staying still, her finger still on the domino she had just placed in front of the other, she waited for another sign...or a shift in the movement of the dust in the air...and when none came she resumed her arranging.

She was not creating any sort of elaborate task accomplishing arrangement with the dominos today, but rather arrange them in a spiral pattern on the floor to push over and watch each fall against the other with a color shift. It was almost meditative in a way, though the uneven stone flooring made for a bit of a challenge.

So, here she was. Sitting right smack in the middle of the corridor with her half arranged dominos when Aiden came barreling around the corner and penetrated the creative sphere like a rock thrown into the Black Lake.

Around the corner Aiden flew. His feet kicked up many little black somethings, as he barrelled through the spiral of dominos that had been left on the floor. The dominos fell alright, but probably not the way they were supposed to. Aiden almost tripped and stumbled, just stopping himself from tipping over. With a yelp, he turned, holding his teddy in his left hand, when his eyes lowered and he saw the girl on the ground.

If she was unhappy with what he'd done, he was too relieved to see her to care.

"Mitsuki!!" The tiny boy squeaked. He rushed over to her, and knelt down beside her. He only had a LITTLE bit of tears in his eyes. If there WAS something out there she would know what to do. She was brave, not like him. "I got lost," he said breathlessly. "A-and, I heard..." he whimpered.

It wasn't the first time Aiden had heard monsters. His room-mates were well used to the routine of the smaller boy waking them up to listen for a noise in the night. Anybody who knew him would know how jumpy the boy was. But...

"L-listen," he muttered. At first it was quiet, but then? A scritchy-scratchy sound. His eyes widened and looked up at Mitsuki. It was coming from over there.... And he heard voices now too!

"There...!" he pointed breathlessly nervously clutching Mitsuki's arm.
