Daichi blushed as Louisa was talking about his bow. He scratched the back of his neck and laughed a little. "Sorry, i was raised to bow in greeting." he mumbled. She must think he was weird, he had had a lot of reactions on why he was bowing. It was just something he did. And he remembered freaking out in his second year when that dueling master told them that bowing was a sign of..well.. wanting a duel. Oh hand! He grabbed the hand and shook it.

And again with the gnomon. Daichi couldn't help but chuckle again at the word. "Can't we call it arrow?" he asked because he was afraid he would be laughing soon more than learning something. The Slytherin looked at his sundial and that it stood pretty stable on the table. He looked at Louisa as she grabbed a compass from her pocket and carefully watched how she found the North.

Grabbing the compass with a "thank you" he stood in front of the sundial and held the compass in front of him. The needle spun around until it finally landed on the big N which he thought would be north. "So now i move the arrow on the sundial too" do not say Gnomon hehe "right?"


Watching Daichi's enthusiasm about Donald Duck was very amusing. "Yes. He's quite funny, too. He has this cute little chapeau on his head." What with taunting the boy? She definitely needed to get a pic when she went home for Christmas.

"Don't apologize, I find it quite charming," she grinned at him. Really, few years later this boy would look like a gentleman bowing for ladies. Louisa liked this vision. She didn't say anything about it, though, and focused on the boy's study work. Hmm. He was getting it at last.

"Yes, that's right." She smiled, a bit proud that she managed to pass on her legendary compass-work to someone. Hehe. "Now, the arrow.." emphasizing on the word that he suggested they should use, ".. casts a shadow on the sphere with numbers on it. You try to see which number does the shadow touch and it'll be the time of the day."

Moving her eyes away from Daichi and onto her own sundial, she tilted her head trying to read her number. The shadow was so faint considering the sunlight in such weather but she managed to get a shadow close to number three... so maybe it was three fifteen or three thirty in the afternoon. Straightening up, the Ravenclaw looked at him in anticipation. "What did you get?"
