Ethan stood behind her, watching as she completed the first step, and gave her a smile as she turned towards him. "Alright if I interpret your footprint? Then you can do mine.." Or at least he would try to.. this whole Ichnomancy still seemed a bit shady..

He crouched down a little and peered at the mark in the ground, trying to remember what Elwood said about interpreting. "Okay, your toes seem fairly close to the rest of your foot so I think that means you base decisions more on feeling than logic.." Which wasn't really a bad thing.. gut feelings were often accurate. He kept looking.. "Your heel seems rather deep, so I think that means you are very in-tune with your own physical and personal self." Or something like that.. he wasn't entirely sure. "And your arch seems kind of short so you like to spend time alone?" He wasn't sure that was really right. Minerva was quite social as far as he was concerned but maybe it meant that she desired more alone time? Small frown.. he hoped he wasn't crowding her..

Ethan jotted everything he said down on a piece of parchment and handed it to Minerva, giving her a sort of expectant look as he wondered what she thought of his interpretation. "Do you want to try to do mine?"
