"I zthink ve'll need to formulate a vord from zhe runes." That little tidbit was stated clearly in the instructions. Her mind was racing with the possibilities and whether or not dagaz would count, seeing as there was a scratch mark through it. Over-thinking. That's what Regina was doing. She needed to step back and view it as a whole.

"I'm zhinking zhe runes ve'll be vorking with are raidho, wunjo..." Wait, something had just caught her attention. The fifth year moved her face closer to the wall, almost glaring at what she'd thought was the 'dagaz' rune. Dagaz couldn't be used. The instructions were 'well-formed' and the lines that made it up weren't fully connected. There were breaks in them and that alone was enough to make that rune lose it's power.

Everyone knew that.

Her mistake.

"It von't be dagaz. Zee how zhe lines don't connect all zhe way?" She scouted the rest of the wall. It was her hunch that raidho and wunjo were definite parts of the word. They were formed by themselves with no other scratches or marks interceding in their lines. They just needed to identify more runes. Easy enough since there were many she was now taking a second look at. "How about raidho, wunjo, eihwaz, and uruz?"

Suddenly, there was a sound behind them and Regina whirled to look. It'd startled her.

The door was closing.

She swore colorfully under her breath, grin disappearing. She hated getting this serious with an audience watching but Regina was feeling the pressure. They needed to figure this out, like, now.

"Vilhelm, zhe door. Ve must hurry."
