Dylan took the opportunity to just look around and see what everyone else was doing...because he was a nosy!face like that. Hmm...He creeped on Alice a moment, scooting his chair over to her desk to take a gander at all the things. "Yo....." STARE. "...that's cool."

Pat, pat, pat...

...and then he scooted back to his seat. It was nice to give his eyes a break...considering he's been carving for like...half an hour or whatever. FINGER CRAMPS. He'd even stood up for a moment...stretching his aching legs. Once done with his mini!break, though, the Captain retook his seat and set himself back to work.

Burin in hand, he focused his energies on Peyton's name. Ol' Peyton...She was such a sun!spot. Truly a joy to play quidditch with and such a sweet girl...Yep, her name began with Perthro...shaped like a table on it's side or something like that. "...perthro perthro perthro....pu pa pi pe po....purdh pardh pirdh perdh pordh.....po pe pi pa pu.....p p p e e e r r r th th th r r r o o o....."...Ehwaz...Jera....Tiwaz...Othala...Nauthiz... Dylan chanted for each one, quickly and efficiently forming the runes. This things was turning out GREAT. Naturally, he'd have to duplicate this wood piece...and the letter...for each member...and owl it to them. He just hoped they liked it...MEEP. WHAT IF THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT?!

Blink.

Dylan hadn't thought about that...

Baltazar....Berkana...Ansuz...Laguz...Tiwaz...Ansu z...Algiz..."elhaz elhaz elhaz...z z z z z z z z z...." Yep, deep whirling, whistling sound.... "...uz az iz ez uz....oz ez iz az uz....z z z z z z z z z....(m m m m m m m m m)...."...Ansuz...Raidho...

Done. Six down, five to go.

Derry's had been confusing for him...but it was open for interpretation, right? It wasn't an exact science or anything...So, with that in mind...AHEM. "...dagaz dagaz dagaz...dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh...d d d a a a g g g a a a z z z...du da di de do...dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh dh...odh edh idh adh udh...od ed ud ad ud...d d d a a a g g g a a a z z z........ehwo ehwo ehwo....e e e e h w o o o....ehwu ehwa ehwi ehwe ehwo.....ehwo ehwe ehwi ehwa ehwu....e e e e h w o o o....Raidho Raidho Raidho... r r r r r r r r r... ru ra ri re ro.. rudh radh ridh redh rodh.. rut rat rit ret rot.... or er ir ar ur.. r r r r r r r r r.."...Ehwaz...Tiwaz....Hagalaz?...Welp, that's what he was carving it as. If it was wrong, it was wrong. No big deal. They still know who he meant....

Her last name came next...Ferrier...or Ferier...

Fehu, Ehwaz, Raidho, Isa, Ehwaz, and ANOTHER Raidho....Seriously, the Slytherin was getting so familiar with these runes, their chants, and the shapes of them...He'd have no problems come NEWT time. Pretty exciting stuff.

Seven down, four to go...

Not much more...
