SPOILER!!: Jake 1

No, he didn't need to check the meanings of the cards again, he was absolutely sure of what he meant. And...as far as the interpretation part...well, Treyen smirked. He hadn't done so, he knew what Jake meant, it was only fun to get it back on him.

SPOILER!!: Bishop

Not right now, and not when she'd hoped he had come to the conclusion it was better to simply go along with things than fight them. Of course, she wasn't about to let his war of words with Jake continue much longer either, as it could get distracting to the others if it kept going. "Jake, the Tarot is not intended to be used as a way of insulting people," she said calmly, for the moment ignoring Treyen's comment about the arrogance of making new cards even though it had been addressed to her. People created their own forms of oracular cards all the time, so the egotism wasn't really the point. However, she did raise an eyebrow slightly at his following response. That was the strike she'd been waiting for. "Yes. The Emperor is part of the Major Arcana. And in fact one interpretation of it can be the attempt to control the uncontrollable, or the need to accept that some things are not worth controlling. It also represents the masculine principle, balanced against the feminine principle represented by the Empress, as well as stability," she responded, before finally continuing her path toward the bookshelf an picking up one of the wrapped items that had been lying there, flicking her wand to finish off the list that had begun.

Turning back to the class, package in hand, she took a breath before heading back to her desk. "Now that we've gotten that established, why don't we get into a bit about the spreads, as Mr. Owlwraith brought up earlier. He mentioned a few of them, but perhaps we could go into a bit more about the differences between them. The most common spread happens to be the Celtic Cross. Who wants to tell the class why that is?" A bit more discussion, and then maybe it would be time to start the practical portion of the lesson.

He resisted the urge to stick his tongue out at Jake, haha, because, well, it was completely immature to do something like that.

But then he frowned when she mentioned the second thing of the Emperor. Bishop was not precisely being that nice either. 'Some things are not worth controlling', well, she was smart.

SPOILER!!: Jake 2

Riiiiiiiight. Treyen didn't believe one bit of what Jake said referring to the card-making thing. But it was time to focus on the lesson, no?

And that's what he decided to do, entirely ignoring Jake's answer to the question. He will ignore Jake. Or try to do so, unless provoked.

But now they were talking about the Significator and he nodded at the others' replies, he wasn't saying anything that was said already so he just leaned back on his seat and eyed Bishop.

He had no material desire or lust or any of that... but things like uncontrolled ambition, true evil and being bonded to certain situations (like his third year...) Poor little Lockhart. So naiive and, quite frankly- wait, what? That little... He had just BETTER wait for tryouts. Jake would knock him off his broom. And incorporate sand into that somehow. "You misinterpreted me," he said simply, and sat back in his chair. HE wouldn't say another one. He'd already given the professor two. He'd give others a chance. For now, he'd silently scrunch up a page of parchment. He'd get the boy on his way out if anything. No, he didn't need to check the meanings of the cards again, he was absolutely sure of what he meant. And...as far as the interpretation part...well, Treyen smirked.

It had been TREYEN who brought up that Jake was actually referring to somebody, and Jake never said that the card was directed at Treyen. Even if he did think it. Oooh, what had she just picked up? Something to throw at Treyen? Jake could help with that. Jake raised his hand. "No idea, but hey, worth a shot, right? Maybe because the position of the cards means something? Like... up, down, left, right and middle... If... that's what the Celtic Cross thing is. But yeah, so the different places could mean past, present or future. And then maybe what could have happened, uhhh... telling what someone thinks of something, or how they would approach a situation?" Maybe? Riiiiiiiight.
