"What are you doing?" She asked in concern looking at him, helplessly on the ground, for the fact that everyone did not expect for him to fall on the ground like that, though, she kept grinning at him, trying her best not make things more weirder than it was, he awkwardly stared at them, his eyes quickly looked around
"I uh..." he muttered but couldn't find the right words to say it..
until he suddenly made the dumbest decision..
he quickly knocked the ground floor and listened to it
"I just wanted to make sure if the floor is in stable..." he lied and kept knocking the floor when he heared the Forcible sisters chuckled as they hid beside the wall, realizing that it was him they were making fun about, he quickly stood up and laughed nervously as well
"I-It's fine, nothing is damage..ahah.." he stopped and cleared his throat "I want to check if the guest is okay.." he look towards Coraline already slapping her forehead
Coraline smiled at them before she went towards the door at Wybie while cleaning his boots, she instantly rubbed his back to remove the remaining dirt from his jacket, Ms. Forcible and Spink glanced at each other with a sly smile before they nodded
"Take care you two alright!" Ms. Spink told them
"Watch out for beasts darling..." Ms. Forcible winked at her trying to get what she meant about it..
She rolled her eyes from Ms. Forcible's comment and smiled "We should go now...thank you for the tea everyone!" Coraline waved her hand as she Ms. Spink and Forcible waved their hands as well, Amelia giggled at the two as she could hear Coraline chattered and closed the door...
They finally went outside the ground floor when they were greeted by the black feline sitting beside the cold stoned staircase licking its fur
"Are you okay?" Coraline tilted her head towards Wybie as she scanned him for any visible injuries from his body, he nodded to assure her
"I'm fine....I just didn't expect that I would end up falling straight to the staircases...It's not my fault that the stairway too small from the start..."
"At least you are fine now...and try to be careful next time, please you already did made an accident to someone let alone getting hurt yourself either ..." she sighed in worry causing him to chuckle in regret before apologizing again, the cat quickly went towards them reaching its tiny paws to Wybie the boy carefully grabbed its slender body towards his shoulders again
"Speaking of it...I think I just saw Ms. Spink conducting some fortune tellings to you..." he mentioned "what did even Ms. Forcible meant about that beast thing?" He asked in wonder when Coraline quickly opened her eyes in surprise
"Y-you heard everything?" Her voice stuttered in panic as she waited for his reply, Wybie however, shook his head, she secretly sighed in relief before trailing off
"That my friend, is my own business, don't mind it.." waving her hand to dismiss the topic, she stopped walking as soon as she realized she had no idea where to go next
"Um.....where are we going now?" She asked placing both hands on the waist, Wybie was about to opened his mouth to reply when he noticed a tall figure suddenly popped behind, silently observing her, he pursed his lips as the result
Coraline raised her brow "what? Who is it?" She impatiently crossed her arms when out of the blue, a familiar voice answered her
"That would be me!" He yelled behind Coraline's back making the girl jumped in fear as she turned around towards him as her eyes slowly went upwards to see his blue skinned face and messy moustache
