As more of his fellow colleagues stepped in through the doors, he nodded curtly at Sophia as she made her way to sit right next to Leo.. Mmhm. His eyes then averted toward Botros whose clear voice he then heard. "
Good evening Abraham," Javier returned his greeting with a genuine smile, "
A major congratulations are in order for your new appointment." Deputy Botros.. had a nice ring to it, didn't it?
SPOILER!!: Leo

I just don’t know what to make of it. Any chance your free tomorrow morning for a chat in the stables or somewhere?" So he could pick another man’s brain about the mysteries of women.
Excellent. Javy was mighty appreciative of him being able to pick up on what he was implying. Hm..nothing from Millie.. That was a little sad to hear. His face turned a little equivocal at the mention of Cassie news. "
Hm?" Did they have a little run in or something. He was quite curious now on this. "
Of course. We'll catch up then." It sounded quite dire with his tone of voice.
SPOILER!!: Piers

He clapped the old man on the shoulder (not TOO hard though, because he didn't want to break him or something)? Promoted to Deputy Headmaster but he still had to sit on the end. Poor bloke.
He continued on his way to his seat by resting a hand on Javy's shoulder. Then he plopped into his chair beside him and moved that hand forward to wave at Leo down at the end of the table. "Evening, Leo." He'd have to catch up with Leo's love news after the feast.
..And there was Piers
ie, Javy didn't pay attention to him just yet until he felt his hand rest on his left shoulder. He didn't need to look up to realise just whose it was. Instead his no longer naked right hand rested over his to pat and squeeze a little before letting go. "
Hey.. everything all set?" He knew of the arrangement that needed to be settled beforehand.
Not too long after he felt another hand on his shoulder, this time he looked up to smile, "
Evening Josephina. Have a good holiday?" Who wasn't alone. Javy gave her little boy a finger waggling wave, before nudging Piers so he could have a look at the sight. Babies were adorable.
Another one arrived. It was a man, who looked a little anxious. It had to be the new Groundskeeper. Javier gave him a curt nod in return to his wave. "
Hello and welcome Archie. I'm Javier, though Javy will do just fine." Smiling a little at him.
SPOILER!!: Cassie

Not finding him was a sign that she wasn’t going to take lightly. “I hope you had a fabulous summer.” It was just so great seeing everyone again. She snapped again with excitement until her eyes saw Sophia, going and sitting next to Leo. Well she wasn’t surprised, her words this summer, he is taken care of came back to her, why hadn’t she seen before that the two had to be a couple. Her thoughts on whether or not Sophia was married or if she must be separated and with Leo, yes that made such perfect sense. Giving her a beamy wave down the table, she decided again going to speak with her. Let the couple have their time before the students came.
And low and behold who arrived right after. The happily snapping Cassie. Given the mention that Leo said of news relating to he watched as she went over to him first.. His blue eyes squinted a little.
Did she just..? The corner of one of his lips curved a little upward. He cleared his throat to remain his straight face. "
Hello there Cassie." It was best to not finish off his thoughts just yet, especially once she greeted him. "
Oh?" She had been searching for him. He glanced at Piersie at the question before looking back at her. "
I'm afraid not.. So what is it?"
Just passing by was Tiara. It was pleasant to see her return as he nodded back at her, "
Welcome back Tiara." Before then nodding at Cece's arrival and... hm? Another nudge toward Piers as another man, Andrew, arrived. "
Your old Snake buddy is here." Of course Javy didn't personally know him.. yet. He returned the new Herbologist a curt nod before he had seated himself.
