For the most part, Sierra liked having a parent here at school, but sometimes, it just added to the pressure. Her mom always knew what was going on with her.

She looked over at Dylan's runes then looked at her list of interpretations. What did it mean? "It means you can't read," she said with a smirk. With the feather part of her quill, she tapped her book then plopped it down in his lap. "So what's it mean, Dylan?" Yup. She was going to make him work for it. Impress me, Captain.


Dylan nodded, understanding what his fellow Slytherin was saying. "Especially with it being your Head of House, as well." Really, Greingoth had no room for mistakes. With the way Lafay was towards her students, was she just as strict with her children?

He wasn't sure why he was so curious...but he did want to know. Now probably wasn't the best time to ask, though...

Focusing back on the runes and hearing her smart remark, Dylan simply smirked. "I figured it would have sounded much better coming out of your mouth..." Giving her a wink and a grin, he picked the book up she'd just plopped in his lap. At least it was already on the right page..."Okay...So we're cleared...I asked my runes about a girl." Yep. You, miss Greingoth. He was conveniently leaving that part out, though. "The rune to the left is called...The facet of the past..."...whatever that meant. "Unuz inverted means Personal weaknesses or flaws.." Giving the other Slytherin a look, Dylan sighed. Well, he was flawed...but no one was perfect.

Moving on to the next one, Dylan continued on. "The Facet of tomorrow." Page-flipping. "Perthro inverted means to display false knowledge. To consume too heavily. To be irresponsible. I think I know what this one is pretaining to...but that won't be a problem for too much longer...and consuming too heavily...Well, I do immerse myself in things once I'm interested enough." Yep. Take that as you may. He was oddly fascinated with the Slytherin..."The facet of Distraction..." Carrying on, the Slytherin's voice remained even and smooth. "Nauthiz means...Needs have been unrecognized or unfulfilled. The path to healing and fulfillment lies in answering these fundamental needs. A course of action must be chosen. Desire and need can be a source of strength." Looking up again, he smirked. Power couple, indeed. He wouldn't think too much about that now, though.

"...And finally...The Facet of the Future." Looking down at the list, he spotted the rune he was looking for. "Eihwaz...represents the Yew tree which stands protective against the elements and stretches up to the sky. Discipline and a defense of principles lead to greater understanding and success. Rely on inner strength." Looking up at Sierra once more, he smirked. "Should I take this as a good sign for my future romantic endeavor?"
