Gebo gebo gebo, gih gih gih geee geee geee geeeeb geeeeb geeebo gebo gib gab gob geeebo. Or even just... Gebo Gebo Gebo Gebo..." He trailed off and grinned. It was clearly something that came naturally to him and certainly sounded like chanting. He wasn't self-conscious about that at all. "So, chucking Intaglio on the beginning is really just giving you a way of risting the rune. Its still a galdr."
He looked down at his work again and was about to write another rune when Marie spoke. The way she said his name was a bit of a warning and he looked up. A flicker of bitterness, then sulkiness and then some other not quite as recognisable thing flitted across his face before it closed off into something more wary.
He considered the question.
What was going on with him and Neptune?
Nothing.
"Nothing."
It was the truth, but it was a painful one. Jim looked down at his work again, scribbling Tiwaz, Raidho, Uruz, Berkano, Raidho, Dagaz and Jera without any notable sort of hesitation.
He was literally writing directly into runic.
Trying not to smile she listened to him chant about the Gebo rune. Yeah, she got it. They were both a chant of some sort. It's just with Intaglio she got to use her wand, and she didn't have to say such a mouthful of... stuff.
"Well I prefer the intaglio method when actually doing the risting. I prefer using my wand instead of the poky looking burin thing." Using her wand was much quicker than physically carving the runes. And with all the time she had wasted in class by pouting and not doing anything she especially needed to carve her runes the fastest way she could.
Watching the expression on his face change Marie held her breath not sure what she was about to hear.
Nothing?
That was a whole lot of
nothing going on there yesterday. Knowing she was pushing it here she couldn't stop herself. She KNEW there was something between them... or there had been at one time. He didn't get upset and leave class over
nothing.
"Okay, maybe I worded my question wrong then. Why was Neptune able to get you so visibly upset that you had to leave class?" Not to mention why was he able to get her so upset that she had to leave class too?
Not looking at what he was writing she continued to look directly at him. She just wanted to understand what was going on with him. Was that so wrong of her to want to do that? To understand what her boyfriend was going through and to help him through it if she could.
