Charlie glanced around a little as he noticed more people arrive. First he spotted a fleeting blonde figure heading up the porch into the house - maybe an initiate, but surely they'd come and sit with the rest if they were one... they wouldn't want to miss whatever was going to happen next, surely? And then Hana arrived shortly after, walking over to the food table and piling up her place nice and high, just like Charlie did. He absentmindedly munched on a bit of chicken before he was suddenly greeted by Calypso and pulled into a crushing hug by, being pulled against Summer at the same time. He chuckled as he was released from the hug after a few seconds. [color=DarkOrange]"Well, I'm glad to see you too, Calypso."[/color] 

At her response to his earlier remark about lateness, he shrugged. [color=DarkOrange]"Well, the food [i]is[/i] certainly delicious... I suppose I'm fortunate to be situated fairly close."[/color] He watched as a quick conversation between Dakota and Calypso had them hurrying off to the food table to get some. If Charlie hadn't already gotten his food, he would have probably gone and joined them, but he had gotten his food, so he sat back down. Kate had also arrived, and Cassandra and Uathine were still continuing their animated conversation away from the rest of the group. Charlie wanted to start a conversation with somebody... should he start one with Summer, or perhaps Alayna who he saw arriving at the table with her food. However, his options were forced by the arrival of Arken. 

Charlie wasn't absolutely sure if Arken was calling him Charles to be intentionally obtuse, or if it was just a case of not knowing every time that they saw each other, but Charlie thought that a gentle reminder here wouldn't hurt, just in case it was the latter. [color=DarkOrange]"I'm doing rather well - just in case you forgot, I do prefer to go by Charlie, instead of Charles. Not a big deal, just making sure you know."[/color] Charlie smiled, before looking over to where Arken was gesturing too. [color=DarkOrange]"That's Hana, isn't it? She's not new... At least, I don't believe she's new, I've definitely seen her around here a fair amount if I remember correctly."[/color] 

He glanced back at Dakota and Calypso at the food table again, before looking back at the rest of the table. [color=DarkOrange]"I do consider myself rather good at remembering names, though, so I suppose you not knowing her name compared to me wouldn't be an [i]abnormality[/i]"[/color]
