Paul sauntered into the Great Hall, comfortably dressed, banjo over his shoulder, the rounded part hitting the back of his knees as he walked up to the staff table. The hall was still remotely empty. And not many of his coworkers had arrived yet.

There was a new face! A woman! Paul approached her with a smile and a small wave. "Hello, good evening, m'dear! You must be new! And..." he eyed her seat. "Transfiguration? Wonderful! It's such an interesting subject!" He bobbed around a lot, his eyes shiny with anticipation and shuffling his feet in an antsy way. He had dressed down this feast, sure, but he felt comfortable and he could eat more now. The stretchy waistband of joggers...would be nice once he had had his fill of food!

"My name is Paul Myers, and I teach Herbology..." he bowed his head and extended his hand for her to shake.
