Tobias didn't allow himself to get distracted by ANYTHING because he was so full of FOCUSED ENERGY that he was afraid that letting himself get into anything else would be disastrous and then he'd not have the focus to finish this. No. Better to get it done all in one sitting, Tobias was sure of that.

"Sooooo, next on the agenda is Laguz. Uhhh... this is like about enhancing and manifesting psychic stuff, which is pretty neat. And it says about stabilising mental or emotional things... so this one is all about the mind," Tobias said, more to himself than the stick of wood that he held. "Laguz laguz laguz... l l l l l l l l l... lu la li ke lo... (lug lag lig leg log)... ul al il el ol... lo le li la lu... l l l a a a g g g u u u... l l l l l l l l l..."

Now where to put you? [/sorting hat]

Ah, perfect spot. Really there wasn't much room left, but all the runes seemed to have a perfect place to be carved.

"Intaglio Laguz Laguz Laguz Laguz..." Psychic ruuuuune give me your powahhhhhhh...

Ahem...

"Right... Inguz, then," Tobias got BACK TO THE FOCUSING. "Inguz is for... fertility, farming and growth... haven't we already had that?" Hmm. "Well, let's just go with that. Ingwaz ingwaz ingwaz... i i i i n n n n g g g g... ung ang ing eng ong... ong eng ing ang ung... i i i i n n n n g g g g..."

Doop doop doooooooooooop... ah, it could go riiiiiiight there. AhEM.

"Intaglio Inguz Inguz Inguz Inguz... Inguz Inguz..." This was a looooong rune to do BUT it reminded Toby of a HUG SO THAT WAS TOTALLY FINE.

BOOM. NEXT.

"Now it's Dagaz... that's quite fun to say." Eheheheh- FOCUS. "Happiness. Positivity. New beginnings. RAH RAH RAH and so on and so forth." Basically it was Toby in Rune form. "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..."

Okay, saying sounds was getting a bit, you know, silly now. Not that it wasn't already a bit silly but... well you know.

Finding the best spot (it was out of two big enough spaces really so it didn't take too long), Tobias got to carving. It was like the infinity sign but with corners and infinity was a happy thing and this was a happy rune. Toby focused on the happy. "Intaglio Dagaz Dagaz Dagaz Dagaz Dagaz..."

When that was done, he looked at his book and... the last one? Only one more?

COOL.

A little more exuberantly now, Tobias started the process for the final rune. "Okay, last one, and this is Othala. This one is all about, like... property and home and is all around that kind of stuff." Andddd now for the galdr... "Othala othal othal... o o o o o o o o o... o o o o o o... othul othal othil othel othol... othol othel othil othal othul... o o o o o o..."

So yeah, now there was only one decently size space, and that was exactly where this one would go. Tobias focused his mind on 'property' and 'home' and stuff and started carving Othala.

Or as he liked to call it, 'O but with legs'.

"Intaglio Othala Othala Othala Othala Othala..."

And... he was done? He'd finished carving?

Tobias BEAMED and looked over the Gandr. Making sure the runes were all evenly carved and of course that they were all THERE. He kept losing count of the runes but he was PRETTY sure they were all there. He swung his legs under the table and smiled as he blew away the dust again.

Oh... dust in the eye. Ow ow ow.
