If Nem were the type to argue and cause problems for no reason, they might have resisted the instruction to come back, on the grounds of phrasing. Yes, they could go and sit on the dance floor, thank you for pointing that out, but they weren't feeling it right now.

They did though, impeccably behaved student that they were. Taking up a space right on the very edge of the dance floor, Nem sat, and within moments had checked out and slipped into their own thoughts while story time got underway. Still on the subject of Ancient Runes, more or less, though it didn't take long before Nem was more focused on deciding if they ought to find some hefty slab of rock, for prototype reasons, or just go all in right away with some kind of metal. Fiddling with one while working on procuring the other couldn't hurt.

Speaking of fiddling with things, Nem was back to playing around with some of the little pieces of metal they'd taken to carrying around with them, but they were listening too. At least, they were now. "Ehwaz can be used..." they said aloud, not raising a hand or their eyes, instead looking down towards their lap at the 'window' they'd formed with their thumbs and index fingers, inside which the metal matchsticks had rearranged themselves into a formation much like the ehwaz rune. "... for anything where you might need some kind of forward motion. For example, it can help send a spell, and also give it more of a kick. An invoked ehwaz rune can work like a boost, like Aibhilinn said; runes are an energy source, and one of the magical uses of ehwaz is straightforward power."

For the record, that was the whole appeal of Ancient Runes, what they could do, how they could be used, so they were sticking with that line of thought for now. None of this representation and symbolism stuff, which Nem had learnt, but had little interest in.
