Botros blinked away the final spots from his eyes and spotted the runic mug. He felt an overwhelming friendly feeling towards Airey instantly and HAD to take the man into a big hug right here from where he sat on his seat and across the table. "You're a good friend, son, thank you." They DID share a spot (sort of) for five or six years here in the feast. So... patting his back a few times he finally released him, and continued to inspect the intricate work of runes on it. He was very pleased with this entertainment while the kids arrived and feasted!

Botros DID see that shoulder squeeze but sadly didn't hear the whisper because the Healer's voice was too loud and distracted him and he already had to have people speak in normal sound waves to hear them properly. Leo and Cassie did seem quite friendly, Botros thought if this was simply tight friendship or something else? "Hey. It was great, thank you." Botros replied with a warm smile.

Botros laughed his santa-laugh where his belly wiggle. "It is, it is. I do prefer my spot at the edge of the table but this cushion makes up for it." And speaking of feast and cushions, "Are the kids okay? Any trouble from the station on your way here?" Botros was concerned, he didn't want anyone dying already.

Her thoughts interrupted by the man at her side she glanced over to Ab for a second and then got her smile to grow, she could be chipper on the outside, yes? "Oh no, I'm fine. Just getting back into the swing of things is all. Busy busy." She gave a forced giggle before closing her lips tightly and glancing away a moment, "How was your summer Headmaster." It was odd calling him that, but she felt like she had to be fully professional now.

Her eyes moved to someone that had just entered the room. Watching Leo walk towards the table was certainly a welcoming distraction. "No need to retire early, I promise you." An after thought to his question from before, but she wouldn't leave the feast early even though she wanted to hide away at the moment.

Botros smiled contently at her answer and nodded encouragingly. First couple of weeks of school were very busy and sometimes too stressful for someone as chirpy as professor Morgan. "Ab is still okay," since they were having a normal conversation and she used to call him that. "It's been great, busy like you said with the transition and school work but I got to spend some time with my family in Alexandria. It was a blessing." The beam on his face was proof that he lived for his grandchildren and their summer antics. "Yours?" As in, her summer.

"Okay, I'm glad. I wouldn't miss dessert, I hear they made something special for us today." What, he was allowed to be excited for desserts, the Hufflepuff kid in him was still alive and kicking.

Beatrice looked around and saw other staff members entering the hall. "Well, I was rather excited to take another glance at the hall. It's been a long time." She couldn't wait any longer up in her office, and had to come and take a glance around the hall. She had managed to hold off on coming down to the great hall for a few hours at least.

"It's all going smoothly, thank you. I'm just trying to figure out where everything looks best. I've tried my furniture in at least five different layouts and I'm still undecided."

Botros immediately thought that professor York would be a great friend for Cassie. She was almost as energetic, he smiled widely at her and nodded his head as his nature was when he listened. "It's amazing, isn't it? And the ceiling's always beautiful, it doesn't get old at all," he agreed with a glance up at the starry night the hall's ceiling was imitating from outside. So beautiful.

"That's great to hear. You can always change your furnishing every other month to keep yourself happy and refreshed if that was what you wanted," he suggested brightly. "It would be something tricky for someone like me, I'd forget where everything goes if I kept changing arrangements." He chuckled and subtly moved his hand to make sure he didn't forget his tie. Nope, didn't forget it, here it was.
