Another start of term feast and Nessa couldn't be more excited. Not that she had a particular reason for it, she just loved beginnings and this happened to be one. After the mani-pedi she got at the spa with Cassie, the brunette spent a considerable amount of time in her closet searching for the perfect outfit. It had to be, of course, something that the staff and student body hadn't yet seen her in. Even if she would be sat at the table before the students arrived, she needed to make her entrance and leave a good and lasting impression.

Humming happily to herself as she walked into the Great Hall, Nessa had a bright smile for the entire staff table. It appeared that she was one of the last to arrive, but that was alright. She did have to find the perfect outfit and it just meant that she could say hello to everyone all at once. Adjusting her hat slightly, she noticed some sort of commotion at one end of the table. Had she missed all the excitement already?

Coming around her end of the table, she first cheerfully greeted those already sat. "Hello, Sophia! Hope you had a delightful summer! And Cosgrach, you as well... I hope the elections aren't keeping you and your wife too busy." She didn't pay all that much attention to politics, but it seemed tedious. And there was a new face! Nessa beamed at her. "Hello! You must be.." Oh goodness, she was so terrible at names and she should know this. "The new Muggles Studies professor! Welcome!" Hopefully she covered her bad memory well with that, she didn't want to be rude.

Oh, Merlin! What was going on with Leo? He looked like he was in a terrible state and that should not be. Not when she was going to suggest switching seats with Cassie so the two love-birds could sit together. "Leo," she began in a loud whisper as she placed her hand on his shoulder and bent down a bit. "Is everything alright?" Maybe she should go say something to Cassie.. Speaking of.. Nessa lifted her eyes towards that part of the table before heading over there. But not before giving Annie a bright smile and, "Hello! Hope you had a relaxing summer!" And then an aww at the rose she was holding. What a sweet thing for her husband to send on her first day of work!

Nessa couldn't help the frown on her face at Cecelia's outburst over her friend's cats. Merlin.. it seemed the woman had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed again. She really should think about adding a daily dose of cheering charm to her morning pumpkin juice. It couldn't possibly be healthy to be in such a bad mood all the time, but Nessa simply put the smile back on her face and was about to greet her when she was soon distracted by the fur baby in Cassie's arms. The brunette let out a squeal and rushed over. "Did you get another kitty without telling me??" Look how cute he was! Nessa patted his little head and scratched him behind the ears. She wondered how this one might do with the other animals.

She soon looked up to offer Abraham a cheery wave, her wiggling fingers stopping in mid-air as she saw Airey sitting in Javy's lap. Oh my. That was certainly cozy. Soon smiling again, she greeted the three men at that end of the table. "Hello everyone!" She wasn't going to ask about the lap-sitting.
