Morrison, as per usual, had been paying attention to most of the students moving about the lobby and he always found some interesting conversation to listen to even if he only caught some of it as the speakers moved about. It had taken a moment to notice some rather familiar footsteps among the others which stayed just out of reach. There were only a couple people he knew to do such a thing even with him being as welcoming as he was but Ethan's footstep's were unmistakable and once he recognized his presence he couldn't help but give a smile. When the nervy guy managed to make his way over the Cajun almost felt a bit bad at how his awkwardness seemed to make him doubt himself.

"Ethan! I thought you were somewhere around here, Mon ami." Morrison said with genuine warmth, his Cajun/Louisianan accent heavy as ever, hoping to take the edge off of Ethan's nerves even for just a moment. "As for Summer its been good overall, very hard to complain with a vacation to go back home for awhile. Enough with my same old vacation though, anything going on with yourself lately?"

The Cajun was always more interested in what was going on with acquaintances and friends then he was in his own side of things, but to those who knew him it was nothing new. That and he had something of a vested interest in boosting Ethan's confidence bit by bit when he could because sometimes the guy needed it once in awhile. Something that surprised Morrison was the lack of his friend's near constant companion but he could imagine there might be reasons for it, it was a busy day after all. This was a good start to the day beyond getting to the island and eating he got to meet up with an old buddy who looked like he wanted the company as much as Morrison was wanting to talk.
