Several mages were waiting for Leo at the Circle, and he really felt bad about that. Unfortunately when the Veil was possibly breached it had to take priority over unannounced arrivals. Leo wasn't happy with the breach of etiquette, but shit happens.
Though Leo rushed the meeting in the park, minutes swiftly passed him by. While he thought time was going rather fast in his rush to the Circle, the time within dragged. Minutes dragged on in the awkward silence, and every passing second felt like an Acanthus was dragging it out to make them suffer. After around forty minutes of waiting though the double doors to the Circle finally opened and Leo emerged.
"Yo!" The First Talon called down to the others as he hustled past the gym. Fortunately the Sanctuary of the Circle of Creation had benches, though the multicolored lighting from the stained glass windows was beginning to dim as night loomed just over the horizon. "Sorry for the delay, but we were having some issues in the park. Nothing we can't work past though, and nothing I should really be burdening new Talons with anyway."
A welcoming smile and Leo looks to those assembled. "I'm Leo Lockheart by the way."
Given the time lapse between getting to the park, talking to Striker, and heading to the Circle, I decided it would be ebst to start from scratch with a new scene. Any who would not wait the time it took for Leo to arrive are welcome to leave. Also remember that any spells cast without prolongation factors have expired.
