It's easy to imagine him making these sorts of jokes with Miss Sharon, back when she was little and he'd found himself repurposed into a completely new family with a new name and new title. Of course, the reason behind the little joking act is lost on him as he watches Break fumble uselessly around for this shadow of his. Taking it as nothing more than mocking his own blindness, Gilbert dips his chin down and closes his own eyes, exhaling in a terribly depressed manner. This is too much to watch, he really should go -

But as soon as the exit sounds like his best choice, he's grabbed and tugged the rest of the way through the door. In his dark jacket, pants and hat, he could very well pass for a dark shadow when contrasted with Break's pale hair and clothing. He lets out a loud, "hnnrk?!" noise as he stumbles forward, which makes the children laugh at him in turn. Well, he's not depressed anymore, but he's most decidedly embarrassed.

"How long have you known...I was there...?" he asks quietly so that the children can't hear him, between clenched teeth.
