Vilhelm nodded as Regina agreed with him. So there were those three runes on the wall, yes. But the fourth one...? Vilhelm turned to Regina with a raised eyebrow.
"Vord as the ansver? But how vould that help us get out of the arena?" he asked her. "Oh, of courze. But now I can see some more runez... how do ve... uh... pick vhich ones are right or not?" Vilhelm turned his focus back to the wall.
Regina was right. They needed to find vowels, otherwise the word would not... work.
"Do you think that ve vill need to unscramble the runez?" he muttered to her, then mentally slapped himself on the forehead. Of course they needed to, otherwise it would be much too simple.
Vilhelm let his eyes flit down to where her hand was on his arm before looking back at the wall. He answered her, "I think ve need to try and make sense of it all. For instaance, I doubt that 'vord' vould help us escape, but I can see 'vind' as vell. Maybe vind vill carry us out?"
