Carlo
"Are they?" Carlo blurts of the Pretzel Planet and their intergalactic location in the universe of savoury treats. Because he doesn't actually know, never having tried one, which he distantly remembers is the entire point of this scam. Only things have thoroughly backfired with the emergence of Real Fern at the Wrong Window, and honestly the surprise addition of the hel is at this point just par for the course. Quickly clearing his throat and carefully readjusting his stance in case his shock brings him at risk of dropping his brother, by the time Carlo glances back up to the sill, Fern has vanished and a very unsteady osprey has taken her place.
"Uh," he begins, unable to offer much more than a perch with Calan currently situated on his shoulders, "well madam, we did not expect you to be able to do that rather than take the stairs. One moment please." Shifting in a way that he hopes his twin will recognise as the step into my office of climbing down from his shoulders, provided all goes well he will hopefully be able to welcome the other boy back beside him, and then Osprey!Fern will have two perches available.
Granted, one of them is already semi-occupied by a hel, but he doesn't think it stands a chance against whatever bird she's become. "Alright," he says, holding up his hands for... something. "Ready when you are!"
