Tiberius looked him over. He was pretty good about remembering student he'd been a teaching assistant for, so that wasn't it.
He shifted his bag on his shoulder. "But today I'm here to learn, same as the rest of you." He nodded to the others who were obviously students, not to the ones he could tell (or hoped) were the instructors. "Are you a student in Cairo?" Léo was kind of staring at this point. He was good with faces and knew he had at least seen him once before. A graduate assisstant huh? "Per'aps I saw you when I was on a tour." It would only make sense.
Léopold gave him a slight smile. "Oui. I am a first year creatures student." And at how excited he was about this, he might just switch to dragonology full time. SPOILER!!: charlotte Quote:

After all they were all interested in dragons here, which was pretty cool and an advantage.
And then the frenchie Leo started speaking to her. With a smile on her face the brunette patted the space next to her. "Oh oui monsieur, such a pleasant surprise. Mind being my company?" He was funny, he would be a good company. Léo plopped into the spot she'd patted. It was better than being completely alone here. Even if he hardly knew this girl. Was still better than nothing. "No problem 'ere. Was just going to ask you the same thing." At least they were on the same page on this one. SPOILER!!: in charge people Quote:
Originally Posted by lemon She, of course, had been the FIRST ONE THERE. It was very evident in Lucia's demeanor how excited she was about today, clear from her nose to her high-heeled toes. The old lady had even charmed her pantsuit to look like there were dragon scales adorning it in honor of today.
What? She didn't plan to work with the dragons- Gringotts' manager was wearing what she wanted.
Beside Colin and the group of Ministry officials, Lucia took her place and watched the young ones interact for a while. And after she'd thought the last one had slipped in (one of the two who'd had QUITE fishy recommendations. She was keeping an eye on that geezer), she clapped her hands. "Hello, everyone!" Could they hear her? This didn't require a Sonorus, yes? "My name is Lucia Clark, and I'm the manager of Gringotts' Wizarding Bank. We have two dragons living in this lair- Bunny, the older one, is a Chinese Fireball and Hebridean Black hybrid. She has begun to act as a mother to the newest addition to Gringotts' array of creatures, little Bandit. He's a cross between a Chinese Fireball and a Ukrainian Ironbelly, and he'll be turning two this January." So he was juuust on the verge of becoming fully mature, though not quite there yet. More in the adolescent stage, really. But he was still their baby.
Glancing at the two men beside the Department Head, she continued. "You'll be working with these dragons today. We'll be splitting you into groups, the younger students being paired with Bandit while the older and more advanced students handle Bunny. Here to supervise and lead the activities from the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures are William Williamson, senior dragon researcher, and Tancred Adara, dragon commissioner. We also have the pleasure of having their Department Head with us, Miss Harmony Skylark." WHEW. Whole lot of talking going on here. Where was the water? "And this is Colin Roderick, Assistant Manager of Gringotts. He'll be doing his best to get you lot eaten, I'm sure, so please keep on your toes around him." Hehe. Say hi, Colin. "I hope you find our seminar to be useful in your studies and enjoy yourselves today!"
AND that was all. So Ministry Thing 1 and Ministry Thing 2 could have their turn to blabber now. Take it away, boys. Quote:

The Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is so happy to be working with young minds looking to get into a career involving these magnificent creatures! I assure you that you have two of the very best people here to help you out with your tasks and I know you'll learn so much about the dragons here and yourselves during this opportunity!" She wore a silly smile as she finished, eyes flicking from the kids to her clipboard. "It says here you're going to start by giving them a bit of excerise, right?" She glanced at Tancred and William, smiling encouragingly. "And I believe everything you need is right here for you so please, let's get started! I think Mr. Adara will be with bandit and the younger students while Mr. Williamson will be partnering with the older students and Bunny."
You're up, gentlemen. OOC: Everyone, please remember not to RP for the dragons! We've got some RPers who will gladly take care of that part!  Léo looked away from Charlotte as the seminar started. His eyes lit up as the woman (he'd already forgotten her name) talked about the kinds of dragons they had. And they were crossbreeds. Now he was even more excited. Just dragons.
Then there was a pretty red headed woman speaking. Now that he knew where he was going, he just wanted to go see the dragon. Also the fact that he was in the group with the juvenile meant it would be more likely to be able to pet it. Maybe even scratch it's belly. Avery would kill him if she knew what he was thinking. He had no intentions of getting eaten...but his current thoughts might lead him down that route.
Léo turned to Charlotte, knowing that they would be in the same group. "Let's go then." He got up without even waiting. Yes he was excited.
He walked over to where Mr. Adara was and gave him the most excited, dopiest grin...mainly because it was permanently stuck on his face at this point. "Bonjour monsieur. Léopold Bouchard but you can call me Léo." He felt an introduction was necessary.
