 Post #1 - Carving the Rune ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Amelia had her Ancient Runes book propped open the the page with the Elder Futhark alphabet on it. She also had a list written down of some chosen staff members. There was Tate for one. She could easily do a Rune for him about leadership... but he was a busy man and she didn't really know him. There was also a good chance that someone else was already doing a Rune for him.
Pass.
And with that he was also crossed off of the list. Then there were Professors Hadley and Bentley, but she wasn't sure what Runes would work for either one of them. If only there was a Rune that really related to Herbology. :/
Pass.
Their names were crossed off as well. Now there was just Nurse Tillstorm left. Amelia might be in the minority here, but she actually liked the Healer. Maybe she could appear cold and insensitive... No nonsense... but still. She liked the woman.
Maybe it was just because of her profession.
She circled Tillstorm's name, and smiled; she had half of this part done. Now she needed to think of a Rune that would associate with the woman. There was Uruz, but one she had already done that Rune for the first assignment, and two that seemed to be more of a physical Rune than anything. It was also more of a masculine Rune.
Pass... Pass... Pass...
Every Rune she skimmed over failed to describe Tillstorm in any way. Until she reached Berkana. Okay, so it really didn't seem to fit the woman at all. But in a way it also did! Yes, This was the Rune that she wanted to carve.
She studied the shape of it and saw that it looked like a B with sharp edges instead of curves. Not too hard to carve with a wood tool. And speaking of wood tool, she reached into her bag now and took it out along with a small piece of wood placing them both on the table.
Taking out her quill now, Amelia did a light tracing on the piece of wood as an outline of the Rune that she wanted to carve. Once the outline was done to her satisfaction, she put down the quill and picked up the wood tool again.
Gently she carved into the wood. She started with the easiest part -- the | shape. Going lightly at first, she gradually made the mark deeper and deeper until she was sure that it was to her liking.
Then she moved on to the top > shape of the Rune. She did the shape lightly at first and then as she did with the |, she gradually went deeper and deeper into the wood.
Next she did the same thing with the lower > part of the Rune. And when she was done that, she went over the entire shape with her wood tool to make extra sure that she had everything smooth and to her desire.
Blowing the dust and shavings, she was now done her Rune for Nurse Tillstorm.
