That answer legit made sense, yes?

"And if something changes in just a day, it's much more rapid and bold because it occurred in only 24 hours! Like the bold change of someone cutting someone else's hair!"

But not his hair. Cuz it was precious and perfect just the way it was."

Surprise, surprise, Mr. Fletcher could actually make sense. Di's lips tugged up. Smiiile. "Perfectly said," she agreed. "... and good example. Cutting off one's hair is a bold change."

The second part of her answer was a little wishy washy, but the whole sunset analogy was pretty good.

Kurumi noticed the professor hand a Ravenclaw boy another cookie. Were there more of them? Kurumi had enjoyed the slight lemon flavor in the cookie and, with a few modifications, could be a very very delicious cookie. "Do you have the recipe for the cookies from today's lesson?" Little off topic, but the question was rather bold....sticking with the theme, right?

Di smiled softly. The first burst of light. That led into a number of other runes-associated topics. Energies and things of that sort. She nodded. "That's correct. Good answer."

Blink. Did this class have cookie fever? Maybe the cookies had been a baaaad idea. "No, I don't," Di said. Then... "I suppose I could get it for you if you need it, Miss Hollingberry." Um?

"Like, how when we were kids we were constantly growing, but if we measured out height everyday, we couldn't really tell the difference, but if we measured after a year of growing, there would be a noticeable difference."

"That's a good point," Di said, giving a little nod. "But this has more to do with how things are than how they seem, Miss Swynford. The change per annum is, in general, gradual. It happens bit-by-bit. The change in height that becomes noticeable, for instance, happens slowly over a long period of time. If it were to happen in a single day, it would seem much more prominent, much bolder, no?"

She turned to the rest of the class. "Jera and Dagaz both refer to time and the changes it can bring, but on different levels. Generally speaking, the larger the change, the shorter the time period it takes place in, the more prominent it is. Like Mr. Fletcher said, for example - if somebody cuts off his or her hair all of a sudden, the change comes across as a bold one. That is what Dagaz represents. On the other hand, if someone was to snip off a little hair every day, the final change would be much less striking. That is what Jera represents."

Soo. "We're going to discuss Jera and Dagaz separately, and then move on to an activity." Shifty!shifty. "To start us off... who can tell me the runic number for Jera?"
