A/N: For the P100 challenge 199 Anomaly. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and continues in Well Done. Thanks to Fred for looking at this.

Connor's breath caught and he almost panicked when he realised just how many Home Office officials were impatiently waiting to hear his report on the anomalies.

His frantic gaze roamed over the crowd, seeking a friendly face or an encouraging smile, anything to suggest he had a hope of getting through this without making a fool of himself.

Connor almost sighed in relief when he met Lester's eyes and his quirked eyebrow and quick nod of recognition gave Connor courage.

Connor took a deep steadying breath. He would impress them all. More than that, he wanted to impress James Lester.

Aw, Lester came to keep an eye on him, bless! He should go congratulate Connor afterwards for a job well done. *nods*

Thanks. Yep, Lester came to make sure Connor did OK. I'm sure Lester will say well done to Connor. *g*

Awww, sweet, insecure Connor.
Bless the boy and bless Lester.

*Hugs Connor!*

He'll be great once he forgets to be nervous and gets interested.

*Connor needs to be hugged*

*Nods* Connor just needs to get over his nerves.
