He REALLY didn't want that to happen.

Interpret them? Alec paused. Did they? "Maybe? Do you think they'd give us some sort of literal answer?" Or was it going to be more fluffy and a riddle-type answer where they had to think deeply to uncover the meaning of. ... Since this was Ancient Runes and Divination put together, it sounded a lot like the latter. "It might help us figure something out?" Shrug.

Was he going to try and interpret them? YEAH! "So the first one... that's the questor, right? The two of us?" West had said that, yeah? "Since Ehwaz is there, I guess that could mean... a steady progress. We're making a steady progress? Or communication. Which... I guess is what we're doing right now." Don't try and be funny, Summers.

Next was... Hagalaz, right? "See, that's obstacles, yeah?" he asked, pointing at the middle circle in the top row, "And Hagalaz turning up there means... we must let go of the past. Maybe that's what's stopping us form moving forward. Maybe... maybe that's our obstacle?" What past were they holding onto, exactly? The idea that the summoning charm hadn't worked? Or the idea that... ... yeah, he didn't know.

Moving on... Thinking back to what West had said before, he continued, "That's the past, yeah?" His hand moved over to point at the circle on the furthest right on the top row. "Isa... Isa Isa Isa..." Wasn't that... ice? "That's talking about stopping... and further assessing a situation, which is what we did back at the plaque." The plaque... "Maybe that assessment was crucial? Or what we learnt from it?"

This... was a weird assortment of runes. He frowned a little before looking over at West. Did he understand what they could be talking about?
"Steady progress... and communication, yeah. That sounds right, and that gives us insight into our current situation, we're progressing from communicating, just like the rune says." West nodded his agreement, feeling some excitement again. As for Hagalaz and it being obstacles, it tells us what is standing in the way in that position, so I think you're right." Alec's insight helped immensely. He nodded his agreement with the Isa assessment too, and West turned his attention to the bottom row.

"Next one is our immediate next steps... the near future... its Jera so maybe its saying results of earlier efforts are realized, like all our work is paying off? Maybe... that we're earning our success." It sure felt like they were earning it, even if he wasn't sure if it was success yet. West looked up at Alec for confirmation, not being entirely confident with his own assessment there.

And then Teiwaz in the next position... West eyed it. Merkstave. That one was mindsets and courses of action for moving forward, calculated steps and things what needed remembering. "Merkstave Teiwaz is not being able to judge things right and being unable to think clear... and overanalysing and not seeing stuff right? So its saying we should be... careful not to over think things? And we should be careful to think clearly." err... maybe?

And then the last one, Ingwaz. "The outcome and defining issue for us.... uhh... internal growth? And common sense. And... listening to ourselves." Huh. Kinda profound. He looked at Alec, what did he think? That was all six of them in the Well of Wyrd reading.

The more the boys discuss the runes, the closer they get!

ooc: The next task is about to begin, but this task will carry on for another 24 hours.
West noticed something.

... what was that? He squinted.

"Hey, Alec, what do you think.... what are those?" Looked like something coming their way. West pointed up in the air.
