The 16 year old quickly glanced up at the front of the room - no, class wasn't starting yet - before he looked back at the girl next to him. Smiling, he nodded. "Good to meet you Cassie," he said, accepting her offered hand. "I'm Ethan Flint... and I'm fine, other than wishing my head was back on my pillow... and the fact that Ancient Runes isn't exactly my favorite class." He added this last part in a very low whisper as he leaned closer to Cassie, so only the girl next to him would hear. Ancient Runes was an absolute snore which certainly wasn't helped by the fact that he was already this close to dreamland as it was.

Ethan glanced up just as another yawn was threatening to escape and saw a familiar face appear at his table. "So there you are," he said, trying to smile but instead lifting his hand to cover the yawn he was unable to stifle. He shrugged slightly. How was everyone so awake at this hour - Cassie, Dozer, the counting boy, everyone else in the room, he noticed as he looked around. Sure, he figured the professor would be wide-awake - didn't most old people get up before the sun? - but Ethan was a definite night owl and figured at least someone else would be. He shrugged once more before turning his eyes back to his brother as he watched him take out his supplies. "Prepared, are we?" he commented as he let his eyes rest on his own messenger bag. Maybe he should take out his own supplies... nah, that could wait a minute. Too much effort right now.

Ethan looked back over at Cassie as Dozer seemed to notice her. "This is Cassie," he informed his half-brother. Turning back to the girl, he nodded towards the boy at their table, "My brother, Dozer."

Dozer gave yet another polite nod as he was introduced to the girl sitting with Ethan. "Nice to meet you Cassie." He vaguely wondered what connection she had with his brother but didn't pursue the topic. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Meeting new people was always nice. He should know. Glancing around again he noticed Georgiana sitting off with some other first years. She seemed a bit preoccupied so he didn't bother with a greeting.

Ethan's comment made him chuckle as he glanced down at his ready supplies. "That I am. I'm not slacking off again this year. I promised Mom good marks on the end of year exams." He said it sternly, with a matter of fact air. Dozer wasn't going to disappoint her this year.

The 15 year old looked around the room and wondered when they were going to begin. Ancient Runes was by far one of his least favorite classes so the sooner they got started the sooner it would end. Sighing, he turned his attention back to his companions.

"So, Cassie was it? What year are you in?" He almost added that he didn't recognize her but again, the reason behind that was obvious. Last year hadn't exactly been his best year.
