His newest... dare he say, friend?

He offered a nod in greeting to Axe and an almost warm look at Annie, who... well she wasn't wearing his jacket for a change. Prefering to stand, Zan moved to hover by Cari's chair.

"Apologies, I did not realise the time." He murmured, looking around at the other staff members, but avoiding eye contact with a few in particular.
Caroline smiled at Ethan. Well this was much better. She was properly surrounded by people who she either counted as friends, or seemed friendly, like the the slightly addled man and his counterpart with the bushy eyebrows.

"Hello Ethan, did you get caught up with a book?" she asked.

"Tut, tut making enemies on your first day, Caroline Avalon." He gave her a wink and straightened back up again.

He could also not miss the looks between Annie and what was her name? Another smirk touched his lips, he would have to personally introduce himself to her. Anything that's going to annoy Annie was always a good thing. Marcus however watched as the woman stood beside Kazimeriz and realised that this was the woman that Zan had spoken of. Oh so this was Professor Lupa, the old man's goddaughter. Ah he promised himself to stay away from her but if it annoyed Annie...

Oh...someone was talking to him and Marcus turned to face an attractive woman and he gave her a smile. "Nice to meet you Iliana. Marcus Lawson, Defense Against the Dark Arts." He gave her hand a quick shake and then turned back to Caroline.

"So Miss sneaky pants. Why didn't you tell me that you were interning at Hogwarts?" He leaned forward a little closer to her. "You know I wouldn't have told you all that stuff if I knew I was going to see you again" he teased as he moved back to sit comfortably in his chair.

Looking up as someone else entered the room, Axe shook his head. Typical Zan, always had to make an entrance. Obviously the actor had not left him. Marcus nodded his head back to Ethan, "Perhaps you should invest in a watch mate" he chuckled as he watched Zan stand beside Caroline.

Oh...someone was being congratulated and Marcus turned his head to the young man, Professor Dumont. "Yeah congratulations." he had no idea what he was congratulating him for but it sounded good.
Cari shot Marcus a glance out of the corner of her eye, did he wink at her? Oh he did. She gave him a look that said, 'Oh? Do you want to be next?'

He didn't seem fazed, nor should he have been, as her look was not at all serious. He only teased her further. So she responded in kind. "It was my secret to keep. It's not my fault if you can't keep any of yours," she replied.

If he didn't move out of her space she was going to have to shove him, all this attention was starting to make her blush again. But he did, he straightened up and started talking to... Ethan?

"And do you two know each other?" she asked, leaning over the edge of her chair to involve herself in their conversation.
