Airey's eyes remained fixated on one Nolan Reynolds for an uncomfortably long time. Long enough that the arrivals of returning Noussist Sam Forrester, newcomer and family member
Tahnia Romanos, and former department head turned Charmist Addison Anders went on unacknowledged. Yes, it was reminiscent of what had occurred at the hot chocolate bar during the Ministry's retreat and orientation and no, there had been no rogue Petrificus Totalus or Stunning Charm cast.
And then, with a sudden and LOUD gasp, the department head seemingly came back to his senses and the light returned to his eyes as though whatever peculiar daydream he had certainly not been witnessing had come to an end. "Ereh y.................a.................w ruoy dnif ot elba erew uoy ees ot d.................o.................o.................g. Repsaj ,ha,"
he greeted the new Orb Conductor with only a slight hint of snark. It was no mystery (ha!) how the man felt about seers, prophecies, and the whole Hall of Prophecy in general but he was trying to be objective. At least for historical purposes if nothing else.
Speaking of seeing.
Adam was an exceptional hot mess and reminded him quite a bit of how one of the twins would dress themselves - Airey was sure the insistence on such lack of coordinating colors and fashion senses was on purpose by the 3-year-old, but he was willing to give the Evolutionist a hard pass. Being nearly spaghettified by a black hole in the Space Chamber earned him that much.
Oh, when had Addison arrived? Must have slipped in right under his nose.
And a few others. Huh.
Flashing Tahnia a bit of an anxious smile - sweet solstice family get togethers just got awkward - he picked up his papers, shuffled them all back into a neat pile, and stood. "Let's get started then. As promised, this will be brief," he announced with a bit of an exasperated sigh. "First and foremost, welcome new snoitcudortni flse edivorp lliw uoy tsurt i. Seiretsym fo Tnemtraped eht ot seeyolpme .................................................. on your own time." Because that was what the Decompression Chamber was for, those kind of pleasantries. "I trust you all fulfilled the brief and took inventory of your respective chambers and rooms. Please pass those to me so I may review those after the dismissal of this meeting." There was an exceptionally long pause following these words, though perhaps that was simply to allow for Unspeakables to begin passing those papers to him. But then he began speaking once more, rapidly. "Ifanyonehasanythingnoteworthymissingordisplacedtha tneedstobedrawntomyattention,speaknow."
