Carlo
"Super uncomfortable," Carlo agrees with a long-suffering sigh that sounds neither long nor suffering, but it seems like the right thing to do. "But!" he adds. "It did make everyone start to run, which is how we got these cool clothes and our breakfast." Because why only admit to one crime when good luck comes in threes, right?
And no one had gotten hurt (probably) or in trouble (hopefully) and they'd found their way home to their fathers without any further chaos, so really, everyone should just be telling them how good a job they'd done at getting big and navigating the boardwalk. And if they don't, not to worry, because Carlo will definitely self-congratulate the both of them.
In the meantime, though, it seems as though they are finally heading back into The Northaven, and the boy watches the flat, dark twins as they follow and then as Remi gestures to his father's shadow. It all seems very reasonable until, inevitably, his eyes drift to the nothing where the Bastion's passenger is nowhere to be found.
Halting at the threshold to point even while his feet continue to carry him into the houseboat, Carlo's voice nevertheless echoes back out in a, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOURS?"
