Ella gave Alec a thoughtful look, considering this. In the end she decided to pass, though. It wasn't fair to everyone else who had sore legs and besides, what if she hurt him? That wouldn't be good. "Thanks but I'll be okay." Keep calm and stand on. She could do this.

As for the rune discussion going on, the eighteen year old was just happy to hear that her classmates had solid ideas. She was a bit lacking in that department lately. "Yeah, Ingwaz and Nauthiz makes sense to me." And the Head Boyfriend's explanation helped iron out any questions she might have had. As for Sander's idea, Ella thought on this for a minute or two. She had some different ideas, as did Oichi, but that didn't mean his weren't valid. "I actually wasn't thinking of Isa but you never know, yeah? It could work." And giving it a try wouldn't hurt, right? If it failed to cancel out the rune, they could just try something different. No harm done.

"How about we start with Ingwaz and Nauthiz, see if that works? It was the first thing offered up so it makes sense." Nodnod. "Anyone want to do the honors?" Ella's hand wasn't as steady as it used to be.
