His hazel eyes flickered towards the seat Professor Truebridge occupied, his lips curling up into yet another smile. "Alright then, Ethan. I'm Jeremy." He informed the other man before moving his attention back to Gevrik. Who was...offering him a seat?!

Obviously not thanking him, since this wasn't his office or anything so he could choose a seat whenever HE felt like it, Jeremy complied with his request nonetheless. He took a seat at a chair slighlty to the right of the one Gevrik had gestured at, giving him a polite nod before settling back into the seat and taking another sip of his coffee.

"I'd welcome you, Jeremy, but it appears I am a term too late." Truebridge spoke in his usual modulated tones and watched the Muggle Studies professors sit down.

In many ways it felt like Ethan had never left but then there were so many changes...

Then Ethan looked his way and it seemed it was Ikenna's turn to address the room. Time to break the ice, was that the saying?

"Zan," the dark man spoke aloud, his eyes lighting on Ethan's. "I suppose that comes from your middle name, Alexander?"

He looked over the edge of this teacup with a mildly curious expression, waiting for a response from Truebridge before he turned his head toward Zookara. "What about you, Jeremy - if I may call you that. Any interesting...nicknames? I myself have several, but that is to be expected with a more...exotic name.

Naturally. The topic at hand was merely a conversation starter, not intended to ruffle anyone's feathers. Of course, it was not one of the usual dry topics most adults stuck to but Ikenna was not...usual.

He turned to meet Ikenna's eyes, quite calmly though the fact that he met the man's eyes so directly at all was indication that he was at least somewhat startled. Not many people were entirely aware of his nickname, even though there was record of it literally in every class; 'Zan was here' scrawled in at least one desk per room. And of course his middle name in the first place. Not that Ethan Truebridge was thinking about that right then. No, number one thing on his mind was whether or not there was any square food in the kitchens right then, number two was Anastasia Bunbury.

"Yes, from Alexander."

Ikenna Gevrik did his research apparently. What else did he know?
