"Welcome, Mister Salander," Regina responded, resisting the urge to roll her eyes at that smile of his. Hirsch would get a kick out of this if he were here to witness it. Moving on... "We'll get to them soon enough. Patience."
Though ... who was he calling a 'pretty lady'? If he was referring to a horse (which she hoped she was in this case), the only horse near them was Phillipe. The others had wandered out to the far end of the snowy pasture.

The moment the hand on her watch went from 9:59 and struck 10:00, the woman wasted no time to get class started. Taking out her wand, she gave it a firm flick at the door of the creature barn. Immediately, it swung closed, resounding with a THUD! when it couldn't close any further. From here on out, those arriving late needed to tread with caution.
While looking out at the students with that same smile on her face, the woman continued to pet the Aethonan. "Welcome to our first lesson in the month of December," Regina stated almost whimsically. "I would first like to thank you all for still arriving to class promptly, even with the change in location." Speaking of location...
"As you all can see, beside me today is quite a stud." She paused, waiting to see if anyone got the joke. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, sometimes the headmistress made jokes. "This here is Phillipe, and he is one of the winged horses," she continued, gesturing to the other Equus fetus caballus standing out in the pasture, a light blanket of snow on their backs, "that Professor Wayland tends to here. I am sure many of you are wondering why I decided to hold today's Ancient Runes lesson here in the creature barn instead of our classroom up on the fifth floor, but I am hoping that the first question that I have for you will help you connect the dots before we go out and join our hooved friends."
She paused once more, only this time waiting to make sure that everyone was paying attention and heard the question she was on the verge of asking. It was essential to figuring out why exactly they were there.
"Over the course of the term thus far, we have spent some time learning about the Elder Futhark alphabet, how to carve runes, and chant galdrs. Today, we will be focusing on Ehwaz and working toward gaining a fuller understanding of how it works. With that said, what is something you know or remember learning about the rune?"
OOC: Hello, everyone! Thank you all so much for participating in my first ever lesson. I am so excited that you are all here! If you have yet to post in this lesson and wish to do so, act like your character has been here the whole time ... unless you want your character to show up late, of course. ;)
To kick of the lesson, Regina wants to know something (1 thing) that your character knows about the rune Ehwaz. Try not to repeat something that was already said, and remember that both correct and incorrect answers will be accepted. The lesson will continue in roughly 24 hours. Have fun!
Ah patience. This Gryffindor could indeed use some of that. And this magnificent Aethonan is a stud and his name is Philippe. He found that funny ok? As shown by the grinning under his nose as the lesson progressed. Also, he didnt know if it was a coincidence or the Professor was lowkey giving a shout out for Disney's best old school animated movie in Sleeping Beauty. If she was, wow color this animation fan impressed.
Now what did he know about Ehwaz? Well that it was easily confused for Eihwaz, but he figured that doesnt really contribute to the discussion. Most of his classmates seem to have mentioned nearly all of what the rune was about, but .... ok wait, some stuff is lacking, maybe he can offer a way to tie these different concepts together? Up goes the hand "Professor, Ehwaz isnt just a symbol for a horse, but rather two horses, thats where the other meaning of Ehwaz-- of trust and teamwork-- arise, because two horses used together for travel needs to be in sync with each other, working as a unified team."
