Brian Ravenlock: Quietly he made his way inside, and moved towards the front to take his seat. SOme folders in hand, as he checked the time and then nodded to those in attendance.
Rhiannon Brock: ::Rhiannon took her seat at the council table::
Caroline Granger: High heels, smart dress, blazer - Caroline was, as usual, pretty well turned out. A keen eye could spot the curve of her midriff where the inevitable baby bump was beginning to make itself known - she still had a fair way to go, but she was definitely pregnant again. Stepping smartly into the Hall, she made a detour for a glass of water, and then thumped down into a seat at the table, offering up a warm wave and smile to those already there.
Rekah Illyriana: Rekah was camped out behind the podium, thumbing through note cards. Some of which had things written on them, others were merely doodled on. She leaned around and waved to the arriving council members.
Brian Ravenlock: A seat saved for Jenai in the front, as he set the folders down and adjusted his shirt and duty belt a tad. His radio turned down, as he looked about the room once more, and sent a smile to the Guv.
Tenrowe: He enters quietly, sits quickly, and drapes a leg.
Katt Batten: Bumping in through the door she enters with a folder tucked under arm. Soundless she heads to her usual seat. Nope not wearing anything special tonight. In fact the hoodie and jeans she was wearing probably had seen better days.
Jenai Ravenlock: Of course she'd been running a touch behind, but seeing how he'd been sweet enough to save her s seat, she'd gave a few apologetic smiles as she took her spot and whispered softly to her husband. A quick wink to more than a few folks. She'd have to make sure and say hey after the meeting.
Rekah Illyriana: She hopped to her feet and brushed a tangle back from her face with a smile..."We'll give people a few more minutes to arrive before we start. So, help yourselves to the coffee and I think we have cookies. But, I know we have cupcakes." A point and a nod to the refreshment table.
PrlUnicorn: ::Colleen slipped out of the ladies room and headed for the council table::
Brian Ravenlock: (s) "Well hello there, sweets." A loving kiss placed on that cheek of hers, "Want some coffee, or is that off limits now?"
Saffron Jensen-Lefevre: Saffron nudged the door open with the end of her sneaker and caught it with her elbow, leaving her lower lip down in something of a wince. It may have had something to do with the leggy redhead that had, for their journey to the Meeting, been hopping on and off of her shoulders in a froggy-fashion. "Ag-uph—okay, Tock. How abewt we find a seat, okay?"
PrlUnicorn: Yer lookin' healthy, Caroline. ::She grinned as she settled into her seat::
Ebon Ilnaren: ::he strolled into the Hall and made his way to the side table to snag a mug of tea and a cinnamon scone, before heading over to the council table::
Caroline Granger: "That's one way of putting it," Caro chuckled to Collie cheerfully, glancing up as Rekah spoke. "Better than telling me I'm getting thick around the middle. I don't think my dad meant to say it that way, but that's what came out."
Jenai Ravenlock: (s)"Never off limits, just....less of Khelle says." She grinned happily at the offer of her favorite drink. (s) "Hello to you too. Sorry I was late."
Abby Dekker: There were so many smells. So many. A far cry from the dour chick that often inhabited that body, Tock simply seemed happy with that. One more frog hop, just for good measure, and the heels of her hands and the toes of her feet she skittered over to an empty chair and wedged herself between the legs.
Brian Ravenlock: Brian took a moment to smile to his wife, and fetch that coffee for her. An some cookies for measure, of course.
Rekah Illyriana: More waving to the newest arrivals, then back to studying her notecards.
Darien Fenner: ::disposable coffee cup still in hand, Fenner shouldered through the Hall's doors, holding one open for someone right on his heels::
Brian Ravenlock: Annnnd like that he was at her side, a kiss to her head and the delivery of java and cookage. "Here you are sweets, I'm gonna get seated at the table and get ready. See ya in a few." Folders collected and a kiss again, and to the table Brian went.
Rhiannon Brock: ::She chuckled:: Caroline, with as many children as my mother has had and delivered, I don't think she'd be that insensitive.
Katt Batten: Curling her legs under her she listened and watched folks pile in, the folder resting nudge between her thigh and the chair.
Brian Ravenlock: Blue eyes panned around for a spare spot.
FioHelston: She caught the edge of the door he was holding with one hand, a tall iced latte rattling away in the other. The journo got a quick smile.
Caroline Granger: "Speaking of children," Caro's grin widened impishly. "How's the marriage going, Rhi?"
Eregor: ::entering just in time to hear Caroline's question, though he just grinned::
Rhiannon Brock: Marriage is wonderful. ::She gave Caro a bright smile::
Saffron Jensen-Lefevre: Once Tock had hopped off and found her spot under a seat, Saffron's shoulders rolled back, then down as she sighed in relief, twisting at the waist as she trucked towards the aforementioned chair. She waved one hand to Rekah, then the other to Katt as she scooted in to sit half-lotus on the chair, folding her legs up, then her tail around, with her hands on her knees. She might have left her tail's tip down to occupy the currying critterlady beneath the chair.
Brian Ravenlock: A warm smile for Caroline, and Rhi. Katt and Ebon, a salute to Fenner, and Fio and a warm smile for Colleen as well.
Rekah Illyriana: She was bouncing from one foot to the other. "Okay! Time to get this meeting started!" A quick snap of her fingers and a wave to Saff.
Jenai Ravenlock: She nodded, understanding, while she took the offer and slowly placed the cookies to the side for some coffee dunking quietly.
PrlUnicorn: They got the toddler twin test last night. ::She winked to Caroline then waved to the others::
Ebon Ilnaren: ::settling next to Collie:: (s) I hear congratulations are in order.
Darien Fenner: ::seeing as it was the first meet during this governorship he attended, the journo opted to wait until more members were seated before selecting his.::
Caroline Granger: Chuckling, Caroline flashed a wink across the room to the newly entered "Rerrygort" - yup, that was was sticking in the Granger family - turning her smile in reply to Brian and the others. "Would they like the baby twin test?" she asked Collie impishly. "I have a cousin who could do with a night off."
Caroline Granger: Her smile then found Ebon. "Depends. Is it congratulations when you're going to have two children in diapers?"
PrlUnicorn: ::Quietly to Ebon:: Indeed. Thank you. ::She didn't say for what::
Abby Dekker: Green eyes, one darker than the other, darted about from behind the holes in her lopsided cat mask. Rekah's finger snap sent her to crooning, a strange haroooolllph sound that rolled from her throat. Then there was Saffron's tail.
Brian Ravenlock: A seat taken next to Ebon, as he chuckled a tad. "Twins are a blast, literally."
Jackie Sullivan: Slipping inside, holding the door open long enough for Ben to follow after her. It sounded like they were just in time so she quickly finds a seat in the back with a grin to Ben. "We have wonderful timing."
Ebon Ilnaren: ::he looked over at Caroline next:: Yes....and so congratulations to you as well.
Rhiannon Brock: They do run in the family. ::She turned her attention to Rekah::
FioHelston: She consulted what looked like a wristwatch; then Fionna opted to sit on the sidelines, near Caroline, who got a wink and a flutter of the fingers circling the coffee.
Ebon Ilnaren: ::he looked to Rekah as well::
Caroline Granger: Meeting starting. Caro made an effort to look as though she was paying attention, despite the quiet snicker that broke free at Ebon's answer to her inadvertent comment.
Rekah Illyriana: "So, thank you all for coming. I apologize for the lack of meeting last month. I was trying to get my feet under me. But, now they're back."
Brian Ravenlock: "I hear it may be in the water, " said in reply to Ebon as Brian looked to the expecting Jenai as well. "It will be a grand spring indeed."
Rhiannon Brock: ::Rhiannon took her seat at the council table::
