Alex hoped he wasn't too terribly late, but as he walked in and saw an older man standing and speaking, he realized he probably was. With his watch he wouldn't have been late, but without any way to tell what time it was, he had headed over here as soon as Leto called him.
He caught the end of the man's speech, and sat down next to Leto, trying to be inconspicuous about entering while the man was talking.
"What's up?" Alex asked his sister quietly, glancing around at all these people he hadn't met yet. He was sure he'd get to know them quickly at this meeting.
