"Is it that they are all from the "Elder Futhark" the runic alphabet which is a composite of the runic symbols most commonly used in northern Europe?" he answered questionly.

"Excellent," Di said. Bright kid. "Right you are, Mr. -?"

Naaame.

Di grinned. Two could play at this game. "No, you did not, Mr. Carmicheal. You could not identify Ehwaz, remember?"

"They are all connected to nature in some way, either by translation, derivation, symbolism or implementation." It made sense,

Not the answer she had been looking for, but an excellent answer all the same. "Good point," Di said. "That is certainly one point they have in common, Mr. -?"

Nameplates sounded like an extraordinarily great idea, right now.

She sat and thought about the question at hand. Raising her hand slightly, Iris spoke up. "Um... Is the common factor that they're all part of the same rune family?" Iris wasn't entirely sure... but it was worth the guess, afterall.

The last rune could have been connected to the peace symbol and many others had represented letters of the alphabet.

Di lowered the second marshmallow she had roasted, and nodded at the students. "The runes discussed in the house challenge, all belong to the Elder Futhark - the most common runic alphabet. These are the runes that a student is bound to come across most often at this level, and the runes that this lesson is about."

"In the Runes classroom in the castle, Miss Flores-Shepard -" she looked at the pesky!intelligent child - "Mentioned how runes are used in jewellery. This is not always for the purpose of ornamentation. Runes can make for beautiful pendants and bracelets, but do you think there can be other reasons that people first began to wear runes?"

OOC: Be creative, if you want to. Don't not answer because you think it isn't the right answer. Remember, out-of-the-box answers are GOOD and appreciated. I'm heading offline for now. The lesson should resume in five to six hours. Have fun. Once again, chatting between characters is okay in small amounts.
