Altas felt like he was on to something, a pattern in the lights to make a shape when...BAM. The lights were gone and back to normal, which left the Gryffindor with a kind of glazed over expression as though slowly waking up from a Daydream Charm.
Uh.
He was a little more present when Professor Gunter praised his answer (yes, more of that please) and he felt a little tug of pride when Quinn built off it and ALSO got praise. Just went to show the Ravenclaw that he DID belong here, you know? Something that a lot of muggleborns had been struggling with considering the messages that had been thrust upon them all last term. Messages that...he hadn't really fought against.
At all.
Hello guilt, could do without you rearing your hideous head today.
Anyway, Ehwaz and horses. Ding dong, score one point for this Flamsteed and thank you, professor, for reiterating the obvious that he was brilliant.
Atlas was about to ask about two left feet, his shoes were plenty comfortable, but got distracted again when the drawing of the rune appeared on the board. Kind of cruel that it looked like an 'M' but had the phonetics of "i" as in "pride". Like...WHO did THAT?
He supposed he could share THAT as what else he knew about the rune, now that he was coming back to the present. At least he wouldn't be repeating the horse definition again (that first year Slytherin had probably gotten distracted like he had). Quinn's answer brought him back to what he had been thinking about earlier...sans romantic bonds and more...twin bonds. Partnerships in general.
Distracted again. This was becoming a pattern.
"It's associated with Capricorn," he tossed out there. Studying astrology had been a hobby of he and Aries just to push their dad's buttons. "So if you're one of those, you're also born under the influence of this rune. Isaac Newton and Johannes Kepler were." Just for some historical examples. "And..." to kind of piggyback off Quinn a little. "Ehwaz looks like two Laguz runes tacked on together in a mirror image, to that's probably where the partnership and intersection comes in."
