"Hmmmm?" she asked in a shaky voice as she lifted her head, unaware that one of her recently carved runes was stuck to her forehead. Ironically, the particular rune stuck there was Sowilo. "I'm...o-o-okay. Just...um..." she mumbled, pointing her finger at all the students all using their own blood to paint. "N-N-No need for that!" she nearly shouted. "I'm fine, see." As if to prove her point, she lifted both hands high above her head and sort of took on a ridiculous position. Yep. That proved it.
Kurumi rushed to pick up her wand and continue carving using the spell, doing her best to keep her eyes off everything else that was going on. She really didn't want to faint during a lesson...not again at least. "Intalgio Tiwaz...Tiwaz...Tiwaz..."
She was probably going to have to paint her runes red once everyone else was already done using their...their b-b-blood. Even her red paint was making her a little queasy now.
Oh good, so she was conscious. Vickers eyed the stuck rune on her forehead and reached out to pick it off when Kurumi suddenly jerked her hands up at the mention of the Healer. Startled, her rune slipped off his fingers and bounced off a few times in his hand as he struggled to catch it. Clasping it finally in mid air, the Ravenclaw turned his attention back to Kurumi and handed her rune piece back “Alright, alright… I wanted to be sure you were ok. Just being.... neighborly thats all.”
Neighborly? Pffft yeah keep telling yourself that.

Well now comes the painful part. Vickers took a small bowl and filled it with the red paint. He knew he was going to need at least half a bowl of liquid to stain all 24 Runes pieces properly, but he was also fully aware of the potency of actually using his own blood to empower a rune. With a quick glance at the Gryffindor Prefect he shifted his position so his back was completely towards her, his body blocking the majority of the unpleasant task that lies ahead.
Gritting his teeth, he took his wounded hand out of his pocket, staring at the bloody finger that has clotted off. As he brushed off the dried mess, blood started to seep towards the surface. With a deep breath he pinched the wound a few times, coaxing more scarlet fluid towards the surface. He shifted his hand over the bowl and squeezed a few drops of his blood into the paint, then at the last minute, tapped his finger on each of the 24 runes pieces, smearing however amount of blood onto each of them. He has no idea if that would make it any more effective than just his blood mixed in paint, but hey he figured it couldnt hurt. The runes anyway. He was sucking his breath through his teeth in pain already.
He took a small stick to mix the paint and his blood in the bowl thoroughly, then dipped the paintbrush and started to coat each of the hazel wood pieces carefully, going through one side of the disc then waiting a few minutes before flipping it over to stain the other side. He ran a second coating for each of the discs before finally standing back to examine his work.
