So this was somewhat embarrassing for the 24 year old though she really tried to play it cool. It was probably a futile attempt as her flushed cheeks gave her away every time. At least Iwin was taking it all in good fun. Esme couldn't help but to blush a little more though when the fan asked for a hug from her as well. "Oh.. well, yes, you're quite decent," she stammered a bit, chuckling a little and trying to not be so awkward. "Of course you could have a hug too.." And apparently Barny thought that meant him as the mascot not only went in for another hug from her but one from the fan as well. She couldn't help but to laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

At least Muirgen enjoyed the Bat's antics and Esme snuck a look at her, allowing a chuckle as she shook her head a bit. "Maybe you'd like a picture too?" she asked Iwin as she turned back to him, coming out from behind her table to indulge him in his hug. "Did you happen to bring a camera?" She thought she had seen someone working here and taking photos but it would probably be easier if he had just brought his own rather than hunt someone down. And maybe Muirgen wanted in the photo as well? She glanced back at her friend as she asked a question and gave her a shrug. "No idea.. I imagine someone would say something, maybe. Or maybe walk around later and see?" She didn't know because she wasn't specifically asked to partake in any of the fan-based activities, but she did intend on looking around at some point.

Gunnar was so tired of being in that stroller then even in Daddy's arms. He wanted down and he wanted to explore on his own. And the second that Daddy put him down, he was off! He had seen that big funny-looking thing (Barny) from the other end of the tent and he wanted to go see it. It had taken him a while to figure out what it was when he had seen him before, but Gunnar soon decided it was a weird sort of cat. Running as fast as his little legs would carry him, he maneuvered through the crowd until he found it. "Cat!" he grinned up at it as he pointed. "Cat!" He squealed a little as he started laughing in sheer enjoyment until he was scooped up again. Noooo Daddy!

It was probably a mistake to put Gunnar down on the ground, but man that boy was fidgety. Whiny in his stroller and trying to hang out of it, then throwing his weight towards the ground as he tried to hold him, Ethan thought he could hold his hand next to him but should have known he'd take off the minute he'd put him down. Leaving Min and Chloe down by the Tornados table and letting the know he'd be right back, the 21 year old weaved in and out of people in line, muttering excuse me's as he tried to catch up to his son. Figures he'd be after the bat.

Ethan scooped up his 16 month old son. "Gotta stay with Daddy, buddy." Green eyes glanced over to Barny. "That's a bat.. can you say bat?" He readjusted his hold on Gunnar as the boy got all squirmy in his arms again and he noticed which table he was standing in front of.. Falmouth Falcons. Oh yeah, he knew one of the players and he noticed the man's small family here as well. "Hey, Richard.." he grinned, "Aurora.. Felicity.. nice to see you all.." Yeah, nope.. not getting down again, Gunnar.

Mariel was still making the rounds, ensuring everything was up to par and running smoothly. Her next stop naturally was the Autograph Tent. Certain to be plenty of people here, it did have the potential for unruly crowds and line-jumping, so she would make sure there would be none of that.

The 29 year old entered the large tent from the middle as it seemed the lines were very long on either end and she found herself first near the Falcons table. She spotted the owner first, speaking to Victoria. "Mr. Baltazar, I trust everything is going well?" She would hope he'd at least know who she was, having worked directly with all the teams for four years in the Quidditch Division before heading up the entire department that regulated the whole league. But she had her nametag in case he had forgotten. And he was speaking to Victoria besides, who she knew had things all under control and she gave her Division Manager an approving smile. If there was anything pressing she was sure they'd say something.

But since she was at the Falcons, she looked for another player that she'd recognize. And she wasn't disappointed.. Green eyes landed on another player she had gone to school with, dressed in something she'd very much expect of him, causing her to chuckle slightly. "Oliver.. so glad you could make it out today," she said with a smile. "How's the family?" Maybe they came too? It was that sort of event.

And then she noticed someone else familiar standing right next to her.. oh her nephews! "Ethan!" she beamed, noticing him talking to another of the players. "How nice of you to come.." Min and possible Chloe must be around somewhere too, right? Oh but she was so pleased to see them. "Let me see that baby." She reached out and took Gunnar from him, holding him on her hip, and planted a kiss on his head. Noticing Nia at the far end of the tent, she gave her friend a wave. She'd have to be down in a minute to go say hello. She was absolutely going to show off her great-nephew.
