He nodded politely at Casey, and from behind his dark glasses he glanced towards the dark skinned man who had taken Max's chair and then to Max.
"Hello." He spoke calmly, as if he'd never left and had last seen the man yesterday rather than over a year ago.
It was just his way.
The scraping noise of a chair being moved to his left failed to rouse Vindictus.
But then he heard a familiar voice.
Max tore his eyes from the Ravenclaw Table (he was on the lookout for problem 'Claws) and turned towards the voice.
"Ethan - welcome back!" he exclaimed.
