Leo folded up his newspaper and stuck it in one of his robe pockets as the students started to assemble for the meeting, finding chairs and chattering amongst themselves. As Maddie and Josette passed him to find their seats he murmured
"Good evening girls." Looking down at his watch Leo gave a little small sigh of relief when the door to the common roomed and revealed the arrival of Tiara. At some point he’d have to thank Annie for assigning Tiara to help him out with the eagles.
When she stepped up beside him Leo responded.
"Good evening to you too Tiara! We might as well get this show on the road. The stragglers can trickle in and we’ll post the mentoring pairs on the notice board after the meeting is over for those who weren’t able to attend." As Tiara got everyone’s attention Leo accepted the piece of parchment from her and refreshed his memory of the pairs they had decided on.
Taking over from Tiara he looked out at the assembled eagles smiling broadly
"You guys are a great group of eagles and I hope these pairings will encourage you all to bond even more with your peers and to get to know them better. The first eagle comrade pairing is Lincoln Darcy and Gabriel Banner." He paused.
"The second is Maddie Cooper and Coral-Bay Aldrich."
He quieted to let the first pairs meet up.
Ooc: I'll announce the rest of the pairs in my next post. Stay tuned!
