[And true to his word, he'll be outside the coven's entrance at the earlier part of "mid-afternoon", because being late would probably be a bad impression? If he has to wait a while that's fine, but he's here in time for Noctis.]
[He doesn't have to wait too long--Noctis shows up after maybe 15 to 20 minutes after Yuya showed up. He looks better off than when they last met in person--less furry and upset in general--if a bit embarrassed that he's arrived second.]
You're here already...you haven't been waiting a long time, have you?
[Yuya, you're too good. Were their positions shifted, Noctis might be complaining about having to wait, just a little. At least if he wasn't the adult in the situation.]
Ready as I can be. [He's not worried himself--a little apprehensive, something that's reflected in the way the tip of his tail twitches back and forth--but while Yuya's a relative stranger, Noct can't say he doesn't trust him.] You?
[By this time, he's approached the door to the coven, one hand on the handle.]
Not that I know of. Guess it's one of those things that would go horribly wrong without the right kind of training.
[Kind of like a marriage officiant. But it's not really the same thing, despite the ceremony, even if he's joked about being 'officially' married due to Bonding.]
[At least if you bungle a marriage ceremony you have no consequences but everyone's embarrassment.
Yuya stops at a door, eventually, knocking before he pushes it open just a crack.] Hello? Abigail?
Oh, Yuya! I'm just finishing setting up, come in.
[Yuya pulls the door open all the way, to reveal the witch and the bond circle, books and papers... she's just cleared some space in her office for this. Haphazardly.
There's a pause before he walks in first.] This is Noctis.
A pleasure, dear. Go on--stand in the circle and face each other.
[While she pushes some things on a table where they won't fall and interrupt things before turning back to them. Yuya hesitates, flicking his gaze to Noctis before he gingerly walks into the circle and turns to face the center.]

no subject
[He wouldn't say if he was waiting, anyway. No need to have any more uncomfortable feelings when they're about to bond.
Yuya rubs the back of his neck.] So--are you ready?

I'm ready! [He reaches for the door as well, but stops short when Noctis grabs it and pulls his hand back.]
no subject
[He'll motion Yuya in first, since he blocked his attempt at getting the door.]
By the way, did you manage to find Abigail?
no subject
Yeah. Yeah! She's upstairs, I let her know we'd need her!
[A classroom in the coven is as good a place as any for a bond ceremony.]
no subject
At least one of us knows her. It's awkward when you have to grab a random Witch for this kinda thing.
no subject
He follows Noctis in, slowly taking the lead as they go down the hall because he knows where Abigail is actually waiting.] She's really nice.

He follows, giving Abagail a small wave.]
Nice meeting you.
