The drive itself wasn't terrible as they left quite early and stopped along the way to finish the second part of their trip but at this point, he'd definitely be late if he didn't get out to accomplish the final trek. He had already said what he wanted to but it has already been what... twenty or so minutes since their heartfelt talk about how proud he was. [indent][b][i]"Alex... Are you heading out yet? You need to actually leave the car in order to get to your initiation, you know that right? "[/i][/b][/indent] He asked while his son was still fretting around in the pulldown mirror, occasionally taking a glance outside the window as more and more initiates arrived. Alex had already taken an hour to get himself ready before they even left and at this point, was it worth fretting over nothing? It looked like if he wasn't going to be the first one to do it there wouldn't be anything that would happen, being the first one to open the door and unhook the keys as the engine died down. [indent][b][color=goldenrod][i]" Wait, don't we still got some time until we need to be there? Can't we leave in five- "[/i][/color][/b][/indent] And... the door was shut in front of Alex as his Dad went around the car and knocked on the door after trying to pull the handle open, looking at him expectantly. He had locked it to try and delay the inevitable but the mechanical "Beeep Beeep" signaled his doom as the lock undid itself like magic, curse technology. [indent][b][color=goldenrod][i]" Alright! I'm coming. I'm coming. "[/i][/color][/b][/indent] He unbuckled himself from his seat and opened the car door, his feet crunching on the ground as they began to make their way over to the initiation. Before he could do anything, his Dad was the first casualty as several of the people he knew came over for the usual pleasantries when they arrived on the scene. With question after question, he politely answered them while he inched farther and farther away to escape the unfortunate trap his father was caught in. He took a glance at finding the best place escape, for the eyes on his back wouldn't leave him alone to wander just anywhere, taking this as his chance to head towards the table full of initiates and hope they would relent in their attention. He made his excuses to remove himself and began to head over towards the table, grabbing a cup of something to occupy his hand, as he looked for his seat and the other initiates that were there. Perhaps he was butting on the tail end of things but it looks like an introduction was being made as he sat down, following the look of [color=96EACE]the teen[/color] he didn't know and who it was directed to... aah... [color=f6989d]Summer[/color]. He knew most of the initiates that would be participating in today's events over the course of years being with the coven ever since his Dad got them in but it seems like he was completely new from the sounds of it. Still, he needed to make his rounds with his peers to see how they have been and what better place to start off with someone new to bring along. Setting his cup on the table, about halfway empty, he checked his pockets again before he took another glance to his left then right to place where everyone was. [indent][b][color=goldenrod][i]"It's nice to meet you Jeremy but we're not the elders, you know that right? " [/i][/color][/b][/indent] He welcomed with a small laugh and smile at the formal introduction, turning the attention that was once gazed on the surrounding crowd now focused on the person seated in front of him. For sure, he was definitely shorter than the dark-haired brunette but besides that, it looked like he recently got here just like him which was convenient. [indent][b][color=goldenrod][i]"If you aren't busy with everything that is going on, I could introduce you to some of our peers. Hopefully, you will get to meet most of the others in our coven who will be with us tonight.
