Dr. Noah Quinn had actually gone to college with Will's father which was how he had became acquainted with the man and then his family after that but since he had moved away to go to medical school and then to set up his medical practice the frequency that he had been able to actually see the man and then later his family hadn't been what he would have wanted. He had kept in touch with phone calls and the like however so he was just as close to his friend as they had been in college, which made it extremely painful to get that phone call saying that he and his wife were both dead. That had been a hard blow for Noah but he wasn't able to dwell on his pain for very long since he was almost immediately told that guardianship of his friend's thirteen year old son would fall to him.
The only real experience that Noah had with children was on a professional level and so that was a daunting prospect for him. And while he could have refused to accept guardianship that was something that he would never do seeing as it would leave Will in the custody of the state and being in foster care wasn't something that he'd wish on anyone and certainly not on the child of his best friend. So he got into his car and went to pick the boy up, having called his attorney to make a few arrangements along the way. It seemed like the trip both took forever and at the same time wasn't long enough, Noah sitting in the car for several minutes after arriving and just trying to get himself pulled together though he did finally manage to force himself to get out.
Noah was an average man, height and weight wise, with brown hair that he wore a medium short length though the most striking feature that he had and the thing that stood out the most was the fact that his eyes were two different colors. His right eye was blue while his left was a vivid, emerald green, this being pretty much the only thing that made the man stand out among other people. The man was dressed in a suit and was actually still wearing his lab coat since he had left rather abruptly after getting the news that he was now going to be the guardian of a teenager, Noah making his way to the building and then entering, his mismatched eyes shifting around as he searched for his young charge.
"Will?" he called out in a soft edged voice.
