Tibi wrote down his readings and then, putting his parchment and quill aside, picked up his rune pouch. "Ok.. what I want to know about being easily frightened. Whether I'll continue to be, I guess."

Tibi dug his hand into the bag as he repeated the thought in his head. First rune... Graphorn (2). Looking at it a little perculiarly, Graphorn in my PAST for fear? HUH?, Tibi pulled the next two runes. Demiguise (0) for the present and Unicorn (1) for the future.

"Well, there we go. Graphorn. Demiguise. Unicorn. What do you think?" Tibi was, not surprisingly, a little frightened of what Rayedem might tell him.
Rayedem nodded at Tibi's explanation. Of course, the future could be changed. He wasn't a true believer in predicting the future--probably he wasn't gifted with the ability, but Ancient Runes amused him.

"Alright, then.." he rubbed his hands together, leaning further forwards to concentrate on the Runes. However, he only remembered few of the many meanings of the Runes, so he took his notes and began searching for them. "Well, the first Rune is a Graphorn, which, according to my notes, symbolizes protection, repelling, fear, strength, danger, teamwork, risks, blah blah," he continued reading the rest of them in his mind. There was a brief silence.

"Sooo. Fear. There we have it. Obviously it's the most relevant meaning to the question. And since the rightmost Rune represents the past, I guess the time for you to be easily frightened is about over, because then in the present we have the Demiguise, which as far as I could remember, means nothingness, gone, unseen. It's great, isn't it?" he grinned looking at Tibi. Oh well, maybe his interpretations weren't as good as Tibi's, but he did the best he could. And from his point of view, the boy sitting across him is braver than most of the people he knew. You are brave, man. But.. On second thought, "But there's also another meaning.. this 'unable to see something before you' is kinda disturbing. I hope you won't let your guard down." he ended, not intending to frighten Tibi, only to warn him.

He continued with the third Rune. Unicorn. "Difficulty, purity, healing, power, beauty, magic, solitude, strength, simplicity, wealth and prosperity, innocence, nurturing and emotional acumen." he read all the meanings he had wrote down in class. This was quite confusing. He scratched his head, thinking, obviously having a hard time choosing which one would be the most relevant. Whew! "So I guess.. Wait," he took yet another pause. His head began to spin, but he snapped himself to focus.

"Okay now, I wish I knew the reason why you're easily frightened, but if it were me, it would be because that I wasn't confident enough. I wasn't strong enough. See? But according to this Rune, if I'm reading it right, you'd have the strength you've always needed in the future. And to conclude everything, I don't think you'll continue to be easily frightened, no." he shook his head. Wiping sweat from his forehead, he leaned on to the back rest and asked Tibi weakly, "How did that sound? Maybe you should add more to that."
