Derf was somewhat indifferent to the subject. The former professor had been a grumpy old man mostly and the really oooooooooonly reason he still kind-of-sort-of had any interest was because of Abey for a few obvious reasons. Also...rune designs were really simple to draw and he kind of was the master of stick figures so sketching them in a hurry was something he could totally handle AND stay on task with. Sort of.

Anywaaaaaaaay...

BOUNDING into the creature barn all bundled up and warm - which really only made the lesson BETTER and the chance of him actually staying ON task possible - the second year greeted the headmistress with a big GRIN. "Hi Headmistress," he chirped, those biiiiiiiiiiiiig bright blues of his locked on the winged horses. "OH OH OH! Ehwaz! That's-s-s the rune that means-s horse!" See? He remembered something. "And...teamwork...OH OH OH! Are we gonna get to ride on them today in like...like...PAIRS-S-S to accomplish something?" Wasn't that something else that that rune meant? Derf really only remembered this one because it looked like a M and the HORSE meaning. "OR!" Because hadn't he seen something glowing around her neck? It just reminded him of something from that one muggle movie he had watched with Natalie where the sea witch stole the little mermaid's voice and kept it in a glowing SHELL. "ARE WE GONNA MAKE SOMETHING TO LET US COMMUNICATE WITH THE WINGED HORSES?!?!"

He was excited. Could she tell?

"Why is it that I always get sick when we have to go outside for class," she moaned, complaining more about her illness than the outdoor class. Outdoor classes, in fact, had always been some of her favorites.

As Sophie drew closer to the waiting Headmistress, she became slightly nervous at the creature that was also patiently waiting. It was a large horse with what looked like more than enough strength to smash through the fence and outrun her without any effort. She looked up at it, her palms growing rather clammy. "Uh, Headmistress? Is this a bad time to mention that I have a phobia of horses?"

Sophie sniffled again, hoping that her nasty cold would be sufficient to excuse her from anything directly involving a the horses. It's just so big, she thought with a grimace. I mean, I can't deal with having to put trust in something of that size!

Of course he saw Emmeline, Jessa, and Stasya and offered each of them a grin and a wave as well as he made his way over to another first year he had not reeeeeeally gotten to know yet...but what she was saying made him WANT to. "It's-s okay to be s-scared," he assured her with a nod. "I'll work with you and help you through it. Name's Derf. Creatures-s-s are kind of my thing.

And maybe IF they were going to make a rune thingy that could let them TALK to the winged horses they could explain to her why she didn't need to be afraid of them and she could work through her phobia!
