SPOILER!!: Kitridge!

"Thank you for the warm welcome back, sir." Really, it meant a lot to have people be so kind to her...and they had been. Even if most of them weren't aware of her NOT!new status.

Mmm, lots of good KARMA in this room...Reagan found herself immersed in the positivity and good vibes, deciding not to stay too long in one place. See, there were just as many unfamiliar faces as there were not, and she wanted to acquaint herself with each one. Especially the precious baby Claws, though she'd NEVER use such a nickname out loud. They were...eleven-year-olds, mhm. It was her experience that most people around that age did NOT appreciate being called babies. So, Ms. Penrose would tread carefully. It wasn't her wish to offend anyone.

SPOILER!!: Addison!

...
...Of course, they weren't all baby!Claws. Take Ms. Kate Addison for example. She was easily a Third...or Fourth Year; in that ballpark. And she was being absolutely lovely. "Why, thank you, Kate. I'm Reagan; returning Seventh Year. It's nice to meet you." What a precious girl..."We'll have to hang out sometime."...Was she a vegan? Did she want to forage for seaweed? Or plant a tree or flora? Perhaps...feed the animals?

Mmm, she needed to remind herself NOT to overwhelm people...So, Rea smiled, instead. They could decide on something for funsies at a later time.

SPOILER!!: Rider!

...and where there had been warm smiles and comfort, there was always that one.

This one, the ONE she was referring to, was giving her a look, and not one with knowing smiles, but with a slight crease between the eyebrows, like something was especially puzzling and he was determined to figure it out. The customary CLAW look, Reagan had called it once.

Luckily for him, Rea knew exactly who he was, since she was good with faces and names (being as naturally inquisitive as she was) and not at all shy. Approaching him, she was all warm smiles and friendliness as she reached for his hand, gripping it. "Benzi Rider. It's good to see you again. How HAVE you been?"

...Oh, right! Rea kept forgetting that she needed to ASK before touching people. Allowing her hand to fall away, she left the question to hang in the air between them. It was perfectly okay if he didn't recognize her. She wouldn't take offense. She wasn't the type.

SPOILER!!: Activity!

Having her attention pulled towards Mr. Kitridge once more, Reagan absorbed all of the dialogue much like a sponge would...and it was only then...when the counters had been gestured to...that she'd seen the meat.

Cow meat.

Nope. NOPE.

So utterly DISTURBED by its casual RAW presence among the other ingredients, Reagan's warm, beaming smile slowly fell away from her face. There might've been a slight mist to her eyes as she STARED at the meat, so saddened that a cow had been slaughtered solely for THEIR consumption. How dare people...? How DARE they...?!

......She was going to need a moment.

Struggling against wanting to excuse herself...but not wanting to come off rude and ungrateful, Reagan apologized to Benzi with tight lips; migrating towards Mr. Kitridge once more. If she could explain, he'd understand why she would NOT participate in this activity, or maybe...if they would...move that meat to a different area...? It was literally making her want to throw up.

SPOILER!!: Prince!

Of course, someone else was already there...and Reagan hadn't meant to read the thing he was flashing towards the two adults, but she had...and because it was written, and not so easily spoken, she took that to mean the small boy was unable to speak...or hear. Perhaps if he was...uncomfortable...he'd want to step away from the festivities for a bit with her. Rea most definitely did. Maybe if she could focus on him, she would forget about the massacred cow over there on the kitchen counter. Doubtful, but she was an optimistic girl. Alarmingly so.

Getting the boy's attention in a gentle way, she broke out her BSL, signing to him carefully; basically asking if he'd like to step away for a moment...but also saying it was fine if he wasn't comfortable in doing so. They didn't know each other. She wouldn't be offended.

"Everyone, gather round so we can kick things off!" He paused while everyone scrambled to gather in half circle around him and Tiara. "Welcome to Hogwarts all newly sorted and returning eagles. I'm Leobald Kitridge your Head of House and by my side is Tiara Tanner our lovely house assistant." Gesturing to Benzi and Sophie in turn he said "This year's house prefects are Benzi Rider and Sophie Brown. If you need assistance or help of any kind don't hesitate to seek them out." Here he took another pause to let the information sink in. Letting his eyes wander over the eagles Leo continued onwards. "Many of you are probably wondering why we have moved a kitchen into the common room? It's because tonight we are going to have a little cooking competition/bonding with your housemates event." Gesturing to the multiple ingredients strewn out on the counter tops he continued "Everyone is going to create a dish of their choice using the ingredients, spices and cutlery provided in the kitchen. If you want to team up with some housemates or go solo is entirely up to you. But we'd love it if you all teamed up with someone(s) to get to know them better. As an added element or spice, one might say we house leaders are going to ask you all questions about British cuisine as you make your dishes. Answering the questions correctly will earn you points towards a prize and it might even lead to some expert cooking tips. The food you'll make we'll feast on together when the competition bit is over." Looking over at Tiara he said "Tiara, maybe you can get us rolling with the first question on British cuisine?"

SPOILER!!: Prince! As it happened, they were about to find out. Daxton switched his attention to the two adults in the room as one of them explained who they were, the names of the badged people, and the meaning of the set up in the common room. It took all of about half a second for Daxton to decide he didn't like it. A cooking competition did not sound like much fun; dealing with food and bonding with others all in one go? Unpleasant. The question/answer portion was hardly inviting either. So instead of heading to the counters, he instead made his way across to the man who was apparently his Head of House, and the woman there with him. By the time he reached him, Daxton already had his notebook out and had flipped to the page he wanted, and so held it up so the man could read it. 'Can I leave?' Of course, someone else was already there...and Reagan hadn't meant to read the thing he was flashing towards the two adults, but she had...and because it was written, and not so easily spoken, she took that to mean the small boy was unable to speak...or hear.
