The Runes Professor, no doubt, unless of course he was senile and forgot where he was supposed to sit. BUT she was KIND and was going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus she liked the idea of actually sitting next to a live human again.

"Evening, sir," Josephina smiled broadly at him. "I trust you're the new Runes Professor? I'm Josephina Hadley, Arithmancy Professor."

By the time Ab was seated on the comfy chair, the young lady sitting next to him started to talk. Oh dear, he forgot to introduce himself too. "You are correct, professor Hadley." His eyes sparkled behind his glasses, with his right hand he was trying to balance the cane against the table. "Abraham Botros." He placed his hand on his heart before extending it to the lady, an Egyptian tradition he picked during those thirty years.

"Character number eight." He added after a moment, he was familiar with Arithmancy, you see. Not too much, but enough. "My character number."

He was too focused on his cane, and the numbers lady to notice anything else. His seat at the end of the table was kind of distant from everyone, too. Maybe it was for the good... he could take a quick nap before Ethan's wife gave the welcome speech. Although he should be awake by then, seeing that she could address the new professors by name. Okay, naps for later.

The blonde turned to her right to see an grey-haired man with a cane and a genuine smile waving down to Anastasia and the other staff as well. She couldn't help herself but she spoke, rather quietly but still out-loud. "Aww look at the poppaw!" She couldn't help it, he seemed so nice and cute, like her grandpa was.

"Hello sir!" she called down to him and waved, a bright smile on her own face. Calista would definately need to go meet him properly later.

The cane was finally balanced on the table's ledge when someone squeaked excitedly spoke. Maybe to him? Ab stretched himself a bit forward and saw another young lady waving with a very big smile on her face. He smiled widely at her and... yeah, he didn't really wave but raised his hand. "Good evening, young lady. It's Abraham Botros." She didn't have to call him 'sir', that word was for students only.

Well, weren't his colleagues turning out to be quite the warmhearted? Ab hung on to the table as he stood up and shook the woman in white's hand. "Pleasure meeting you, professor Cerulean. Abraham Botros, Ancient Runes." He let go of her hand and patted his heart once before plopping back down to his chair. "It's a very special day, after all those years." He gave the Hall a nostalgic affectionate smile.
