After their dinner, Charlie insisted on presenting Razzle and Dazzle to Alastor. She really wanted him to understand those two and understand how they were important to her.
Alastor agreed and accompanied her to her old room, she knocked on the door before she opened it. Both of them were flying around as they were playing. They stopped and sat over the bed looking at the couple. Their tails were wagging as they could notice how lighter Charlie's mood seemed to be around the brunette.
"Al, this is Razzle-" Charlie pointed out with a gentle gesture with her hand. Razzle gave a little jump, helped by his own tail and stood up on the bed. The small creature smiled and fixed his own bowtie.
"And this is Dazzle." Now it was Dazzle's time to do pretty much the same, but instead of fixing his bowtie, he bowed to the human in a cordial way.
"Well, now properly saying: nice to meet you, boys." Alastor offered his hand to shake their... Paws? Little hands? He had no idea. Razzle and Dazzle looked confused at the human's hand.
"No? I'm sorry." He didn't know what to do, if his behavior was acceptable. Charlie on the other hand, had her eyes shining due to Alastor's gesture. She knew exactly why Razzle and Dazzle were confused and it melted her heart.
"No, you are fine... It's just-" She giggled, brightened with a big smile. She placed her hand over her own cheek. She was surprised by Alastor's behavior and melted at the same time. "They are not used to someone treating them as equals and so kindly like this." She calmly explained and gestured to the boys to grab Alastor's hand and shake it.
Alastor kept his smile but raised his eyebrows in a confused expression while Razzle and Dazzle both grabbed Alastor's hand in a clumsy way and shook it. For Alastor they looked like some weird pets, since, well, they had tails and they wiggled it as one. Or it was what he assumed so.
"So they have been with you for a long time?" He looked at them and then at Charlie after letting go of their small hands.
"Yes, for a few years." She giggled and shrugged. Alastor knew what the "few" years meant and knew Charlie laughed because it was probably way more than any human ever lived.
Razzle then poked Dazzle and pointed at Alastor. Then he pulled his own hair back, shrunk his belly and puffed his chest, gesturing an "attractive" figure. He began to walk and winked at Dazzle, who, now, had more delicate gestures. Dazzle placed his small hand over his forehead, throwing his head back and fanning himself with his other hand. Charlie and Alastor seemed confused for a second and Dazzle pointed at himself and then at Charlie. The couple looked between them.
"What are they doing?" Alastor asked, adjusting his glasses when he turned back to see the two creatures.
"I don't... I don't quite know." She seemed more confused than him and laughed it off. Dazzle then pointed at Charlie.
"Charlie." Alastor said and Dazzle nodded positively. "Okay- That's a game like charades then." Alastor seemed invested in understanding what those two were trying to say which made Charlie look at him without blinking.
She was mesmerizing the man. She never saw anyone actually pay attention, or try to pay attention to what Razzle and Dazzle had to say besides her. She knew Alastor was kind with others, especially her, but she had no idea he would be the same with Razzle and Dazzle.
Dazzle then pointed at his cheeks and made a very cute face, something with sparkling eyes. Something that Charlie would do. Then pointed at Charlie again and then to himself.
"You are... Charlie?" Alastor raised the left part of his upper lip in confusion and tilted his head again.
Dazzle jumped with a smile and nodded positively. Razzle then smiled big, and pointed at Alastor.
