First years. Let joy be unconfined.
Nem looked towards the kid [Bella] who'd just spoken to them. Not with an answer mind - good, if a first year had been in on some kind of knowledge... - but a question of her own. Nem leaned their arms on the table, looked briefly up and down at the occupants, and then replied. "Sorting Ceremony comes first, then the speech. The food won't appear 'til then, but at least the speech is never very long."
There. Helpful. Gracious. Older student duties: tick.
They turned their attention back to the staff dais, staring intently at each face in turn, looking for some sort of hint as the to the situation, but soon diverted into a glance at Blaze. After a pause which lasted maybe half a beat, they broke into a good-natured sort of grin. "Tsk, Claudine. First years present. We need to be good influences." Attitude like that would get them nowhere.
Perish the thought.
And as for Fuller. "You're one to talk about smug faces, Curtis." Their tone playful, Nem lingered on the 's' a fraction of a second too long, and smiled wide. The question had been juvenile, but typically so; Fuller had never exactly acted his age, had he? "I notice someone else is missing up there too, except someone else is already in his seat." It seemed the odds of Fuller making it to graduation were shrinking by the second.
