It was hard to know for sure what the correct answer was, and it was hurting his head trying to think of it right there on the spot, so Daxton had decided to simply default to the answer he was sure Kitridge wanted.
Kitridge's voice drew his attention once more, and he looked back up again, unable to keep from noticing how he was not quite so imposing now that Daxton was steadily catching up to him in height, but still imposing enough. After regarding his Head of House for a moment, Daxton obliged, holding up the book and showing the title on the front cover: Elemental Magic: The Science of Spellwork. Had he been able to, he might have chosen that moment to launch into an explanation of his interest in the subject, but for obvious reasons, he could not. Writing it all down just was not the same.
Not that it mattered, because in the next few seconds, Daxton's eyes had drifted back to the shelves of books and he had spotted a familiar title among them. At once, Daxton reached out and quickly snatched it up, staring at the cover as though he could not quite believe what he was seeing. This was a book all about non-verbal magic, the 'ins and outs' of everything, and he was fairly certain there were a few chapters on wandless magic in there too. For the past two terms, Daxton had searched every inch of the library for this book, and never once found it; all the copies had probably been hoarded by older students. For the past two years, Daxton had made do with other, lesser books, and plenty of them. But now he finally had his hands on this. The interesting and equally challenging about conversations with Daxton was that because he didn't speak you had to read body language and gestures. You had to be a code breaker. Leo interpreted the nod of the head as if to classes Daxon at least wore shoes, school robes and his uniform. But outside of classes he didn't wear his full uniform since Leo assumed Daxton thought it wasn't required. Something to ask Headmaster Sahnoun about the next time they conversed over dinner or met in the staff room.
Grabbing an arm load of new books from the trolley Leo started to shelf them as Daxton showed the book he was flipping through. Elemental magic: The sience of spellwork. Leo read silently to himself. Turning his gaze to Daxton he said "I didn't know you were interested in the theory of how spells are constructed? And elemental magic? Do you want to learn more about spells and charms connected to the elements like for example earth, wind, fire, water?" If he was Leo could understand why. He had also been fascinated with those things when he had been in school.
Gathering up a new collection of books Leo walked closer to Daxton he saw that the boy had all his focus on the books on the shelves. His eyes scanning the titles. When he snatched one book off the shelf and stared at it Leo couldn't help but glance curiously at the title and then comment to Daxton thoughtfully. "Learning non-verbal magic I think would really help you out in classes and make it easier for you to learn spells as well." Leo wished he could have thought of that to help Daxton with his studies earlier. But it was what it was.
