Two students! Two whole students, he might add, in one piece and all! Lovely, lovely. He smiled and waved at them both. "Henric, m'boy! My prefect!" he actually hugged Henric and then winked at little Hen-RY. Henric and HenRY. Oh dear. Bandmates, please don't get anyone mixed up! Didn't young people get offended by that or something?

"It's so lovely to see you both! I assume more are coming. It's still quite early. This is Mark--Mark Sparks!" he chuckled when he said his silly friend's name. Mark bowed his head and smiled, doing his best to show off whatever shape he had shaved in his beard today (a star, duh). "He looks really scary, I know, but I swear, he's not." It was the tattoos or something. But really, if you stared into Mark's eyes for a long time--as Paul often did without knowing--he seemed like a kind man.
