Ethan couldn't find Vee on the boat. That shouldn't have been as distressing as it was being that she was probably intentionally isolating herself from everyone- crowds and all- but without that particular familiar face keeping him company on the long boat ride, he found himself alone and awkward on the deck. Thankfully, he brought a book so he had something to read while he sat under the sun for two hours, anxiously glancing up at every person that walked by him.

As soon as he got off the boat, he accidentally got sucked into the current of new students walking to the assembly. Honestly, he forgot where he was going and following the group seemed like a good idea at first, but by the time he realized where they were going, it was too late for him to escape. By his standards, anyway. So, he sat through the speech and rules for a second time. He convinced himself it was a good thing he came to refresh his memory of the rules and regulations of school. Curfew, no smoking, no sex... Right. He could do that. No problem. 

After the assembly, Ethan started for the Administration building to find out what his living situation was looking like, but, finally, he saw someone he recognized. Morrison was standing off to the side, which he was going to take as an invitation to go up and say hi, but it took him a good moment of hovering out of appropriate speaking distance of him, making up his mind on what to say, before finally walking up to him.

"Hi, um, Mor-Morrison? It's nice to see you..." It hit him then he didn't even know if Morrison knew who he was. It was too late to back down now. "-again. How was your, uh, your summer?" He forced a smile that quickly wilted away when he realized that Morrison wouldn't see it, but then came back again because even if he didn't see it, it would be rude to not to smile at someone while he was speaking to them.
