Eliza was really interested in Ancient Runes, mainly because she knew so little about them. Anything slightly cryptic or mysterious was sure to send her curiosity flying. She even liked the professor's accent. It sort of made the whole lesson all the more interesting.
She'd taken a seat as near to Elliot as she could, since she felt a little more acquainted with her from speaking in the common room. Even if the conversation had been a bit...strained, at times. She thought the older girl was spunky and therefore was someone she wanted to talk to more. Knowing Elliot probably wasn't the type to be excited about a first year trying to chat her up in class, Eliza didn't bound up to her as she might have done to Cora. Instead she casually raised her hand, knowing she really hadn't the foggiest bit of worthwhile information about runes, but that speaking in class would let Elliot know that she was right behind her.
"Runes are a really old way of using magic. They're not commonly used anymore, but they can still be very powerful." That sounded like a good enough fluff answer for now. At least until she actually learned something about them. |
