Simon paused after he heard Angel's response. She was lost? He bit his lip. "Alright, let's rewind everything," he said, trying to figure out where she had gotten lost. He understood her confusion- Arithmancy was very, very confusing. He remembered having Lolita Domingo as his Professor in third year and she was very confusing, but at least she gave them free food.

Anyway, focusing on Angel, he paused. "Alright, what we have to do now is describe is what happens during each of these cycles. The number that we found describes how long each of these phases or letters will last," he explained as he reached into his bag, pulling out his textbook. Flipping to Chapter 28, he found the meanings behind each letter. "Now we have to find meaning of the letter. By this, I mean....Okay, first, let's look at 'S'. For 'S', the meaning of that letter is," He paused, taking a deep breath, and paraphrased the text. "From birth to age one, I apparently went through a very emotional time when I was young. During this time, I also wished for freedom. This was an exciting time for me filled with 'extraordinary events'. "

Simon paused once more, glancing at Angel. "So essentially, you have to go through each of the letters in each name and write out the meaning of each one per the time period....Err.. Does that make more sense?"
