Ohhhkay. The Warden was sleeping. That was fine; Theo wasn't about to wake her if she needed some beauty rest. However, her presence -- and the possibility of her waking up -- meant that he probably didn't want to try to loot the room, either. Instead, he decided to make getting out his priority. Maybe he could be gone before the Warden even woke up.
No door, though. That was a bit odd. Probably behind some of this stuff ... Maybe he'd have to shift it to get out. Ugh, manual labor. Well, better get started. That big red-handled wardrobe seemed like a likely candidate ...
As Theo crossed the room to check out the wardrobe, he noticed two things: one, that the glow around him was fading somewhat, and two, he happened to pass the mirror and spot a glowing figure moving in it. For a second he froze, wondering who that was, and when the figure in the mirror went still as well, he realized, Oh, that's me. But that ... wasn't him. He crossed to the mirror and stared at the unfamiliar face looking back at him, glowing slightly. Huh. He raised a hand to his face, then made a thieves' cant gesture at himself, just to make sure it really was him in the mirror. Well. He had absolutely not idea what to make of this development; glancing back at the sleeping Warden, he wondered if she'd had something to do with it. But he wasn't about to wake her and ask; instead, he figured that this mystery, like the question of how the two of them had gotten here in the first place, was best solved from somewhere outside this room.
So he turned his attention to the big wardrobe with the red handles, first trying to open it. He figured he'd have to shift it out of the way if the door was behind it, and he wanted to see if there was anything inside he could take out first to lighten the load. Or to steal. Just because Theo had decided to focus on getting out didn't mean he couldn't grab some valuables along the way, if he spotted any.
