"We do not 'ave any stones to draw!" Draw in English meant 'picking up', right? Only if they meant drawing like... like little kids did. "Mmm... we do not 'ave stones to draw, like..." Zéline motioned as in Rune casting and such, when you picked Runes up. Literally. "...but maybe we could... draw them on the..." What was the word? She looked at the sayings again. "Heath?"

"Spread our fate on the heath? Spread our destiny on the heath?" She started trying out different phrases and translating them to French to see if they would make any sense to her that way. Whose idea was this of making the competition all in English anyway?? That wasn't fair at all!

"Non, non, non!" Zéline said after a while as she shook her head once again. Nothing she could think of made sense! "Je ne sais pas, Beau! Je ne peux pas..." She trailled off and restarted muttering random things in French. Mainly complaints about how unfair that all was.

Well, back to interpretating that literally and word by word. "I sink we weell need to creeate some stones zen? But zere is nosing we can uuse!" Zéline ran her fingers through her hair, letting her arm drop by her side as she sighed in frustration. She had no idea!
Oh look the plaque was changing... So there was more. That was why the walls didn't lower or move or whatever they did. It was English.. But he wasn't very good at reading English.. Not fair. Sigh but they had to do it. Beau muttered a complaint in French as he tried to decipher the words.

Draw? Like little kids. With what?? Ahh he nodded towards Zéline as she did a motion to show her thoughts. "Um... Maybe we make zem." Looking around were there stones? "Are zere stones, around 'ere?" there had to be right? It was outside. Listening to Zéline he nodded that was a good idea as well. "Is ze ground ze Health or ze plaque ze health?"

"Spread ze destiny? Like how we want to get out? Is zere a rune zat means escape, leave, exit, or somezing?" Like the inner meaning of the rune. He leaned his head back thinking. There had to be something. Whispering to himself, "Penser..."
