 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
Kalen's footsteps did not go unheard. Regina heard him approaching and planned on opening an eye to acknowledge him. But the man did not utter a single word to her, which was fine. She actually appreciated the fact that the librarian was allowing her to enjoy this moment of silence. She sure hoped that he was sharing this moment with her as well. It was quite marvelous.
And then it was broken by the one and only Gaston. The silence was good while it lasted, not that the headmistress, her eyes now open, minded it being interrupted. It was only going to get progressively louder as more bodies filled the place. And Merlin knew what kind of entrance her former Ilvermornian studies would bring.
"Good evening, Professor Marchand," Regina responded politely with a smile, reflecting his formalities back at him. He did know that he could call her Regina, right? They had known each other long enough. Oh well.
Following suit were Cami, Laurel, and River. The woman gave each of them a quiet greeting and a usual nod of her head. Then Roderik happened. Looking great as always, Regina. As she took in his attire, a subtle hint of a smirk played on her lips. "Thanks. You're not looking so terribly shabby yourself." She knew he would understand the meaning of her words, even if those who were eavesdropping interpreted them as sarcasm.
Kaysha, Tristan, Rosalyn where the next to show up. Waves and smiles, of course, were given their way. A double-take was almost had when she realized that her Deputy Head had silently arrived. An eyebrow rose and her head tilted to the side. "Are you feeling alright, Paul?" She then casted a glance at River. Perhaps he had something that would give the old man a bit of pep in his step?
Before she could whisper that question to the healer, a pop was heard and then it was suddenly raining Rooney Bronwyn. The woman picked up one of the cards and then set it back down on the table, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. Bighead Boy indeed. Regardless, she wasn't going to do anything about it for a change. You only graduated from Hogwarts once.
Now, where were Moxely and the Williams twins? Regina had a speech she wanted to get out of the way.
