Having graciously returned everyone's greetings, the older blonde woman properly settled in to begin taking notes. Again, she didn't suspect anything would be amiss in the Headmistress' methods, but a thing couldn't be done for others and not for all. Besides, Marilyn enjoyed Runes. Always had, and was looking forward to a refresher.

....The loud BANGing noise was completely unsettling, however...and had her half out of her chair within seconds. Fight of Flight reflexes. Regina was assuring them that all was well, but Marilyn made a note on her clipboard, finding that too many unexpected interruptions, especially unidentified noises, could negativity affect the learning process; pulling too much focus from the lesson at hand.

Merlin, she was also receiving instructions?...To carve runes into armor? Staring at Regina over the rim of her glasses, Marilyn carefully stood; settling the clipboard down on her chair. Carving runes was something she hadn't done in ages, but...surely it was just like riding a bike. The knowledge was there, all she had to do was apply it. Moving towards an open suit of armor, she withdrew her wand, focusing on the breastplate. Keeping in mind that this was about observing the lesson as a whole, she had one eye on the task at hand and the other on everything else. Mainly the small boy in Hufflepuff robes having a panic attack in real time. Had something else occurred?....Or had that been caused by the noises? Said Hufflepuff boy looked very familiar to her.

She made a mental note to add all of this to her report. And also how astute Regina seemed to be in handling the issue quickly and efficiently. Clearly when her own child had been hurt, it hadn't been due to a lack of caring staff and administration. Something else to investigate further at a later time.

Completing her carving in a way that was surprisingly dignified, the wonders of non-verbal magic, she took a step back to survey the overall appearance of her rune. The years of inactivity showed in the problems with scaling. Perhaps it should've been slightly bigger, given where it was placed, but Marilyn hadn't taken that into account. Ahem, was she also meant to chant the galdr? ....The students were doing a fantastic job with their chanting. Goodness, this really did take her back.... "Elhaz elhaz elhaz, z z z z z z z z z, uz az iz ez uz, oz ez iz az uz, z z z z z z z z z, m m m m m m m m m. Elhaz elhaz elhaz, z z z z z z z z z, uz az iz ez uz, oz ez iz az uz, z z z z z z z z z, m m m m m m m m m." Since Algiz was meant to invoke Protection, the blonde kept her unborn child in mind as she focused 80% of attention on it. 20% on the "constant vigilance" factor. "Elhaz elhaz elhaz, z z z z z z z z z, uz az iz ez uz, oz ez iz az uz, z z z z z z z z z, m m m m m m m m m. Elhaz elhaz elhaz, z z z z z z z z z, uz az iz ez uz, oz ez iz az uz, z z z z z z z z z, m m m m m m m m m."

Once hers was glowing purple along with everyone else's, she stepped back to retake her clipboard; quickly updating her notes. There had been little doubt that the Headmistress would make this easy for her today. As she wrote, half of her attention remained on the discussion. A question had been posed... "Jewelry and clothing might be the most obvious answer. Anything that might be worn on someone's person. Namely amulets or pendants." It was offered after the fact.... She was meant to answer, as well, wasn't she? Or had that just been meant for the children?.....Oops.

"I apologize."....She had been asked to participate, after all.
