The rest of the family might not be as keenly and--to be frank--uncomfortably observant as Bruno often is, but that doesn't mean any of them are oblivious. Once Avery's weariness starts to show, the questions noticeably die down. It's the one who'd introduced herself as Julieta who suggests their visitor get some rest.
"It'll be a while before dinner's ready," she says, confident that he'll stay a while. "Maybe you should lie down for a while. Casita can make sure the guest room is comfortable for you." Tiles ripple and clatter in agreement.
The family reach an impasse, though, at this point. Each one has things they need to do to start getting the place ready for nighttime--each one, that is, except Bruno.
"I'll, uh, I'll show you to the guest room, then?" he says a little sheepishly.
Just outside the kitchen, though, Bruno's steps slow and then stop. He goes still, staring sightlessly, and there's another flare of magic, a much stronger one, this time. His eyes glow a brilliant emerald green for a couple beats and his lips move soundlessly. Then it cuts out and he sways before recovering.
When he looks at Avery again, however, he blushes bright red. "Uh... uhm... it's... it's- it's this way." The rest of the way there, Bruno seems partly embarrassed, partly nervous, partly... anticipating?
