He did not just nickname here.
Beverly narrowed her eyes at him and nudged him in the gut with her elbow. Not a hit, she wasn't so bold to do that yet. He also earned that because of what he said. Was he messing with the girl or her?
Meh. She just wouldn't share her beetle earrings with him anymore...
but sweets.

"It makes sense for it to be Algiz, since it's for protection," Tobias added, to show he agreed. Also, that one kid had made a good point about how Algiz broke the pattern, so yeah. "So we need to do Intaglio and carve........... uhhh..." What was an opposite of Algiz? "Maybe... what about Isa? 'Cause that rune can work to block things and stop them, so it could maybe stop the protection of Algiz?"
He paused and bit his lip. Tobias really wanted to prove that he knew this stuff to Botros. "And if not that one, maybe Hagalaz, 'cause that one is more to do with destruction."
Tobias looked at his classmates again. "Whatcha reckon?"
Oh, there was Cutty. He got a wave. Hiiiiiiiii Cutty.

I thought that backwards Raidho looked pretty bad, but you're the expert here."
Sophie passed a smirk in Cutty Mordaunt's direction. They'd never discussed the whole 'billywigs on the train' incident, but she was pretty sure he'd be proud of her if he knew the whole story. That was how Cutty worked, she'd learned. She thumped him on the back of the ear then turned to Toby.
"I'm glad you know what you're doing," she said. She moved a step closer to Toby. RUNES PARTNER right here, folks! Not that they were partnering up, but she could at least stand by somebody who knew what was going on. "I kept thinking that backward rune was the weak one, but...who knew it was Algiz. What's so weak about protection anyway?"
Enough of that, though. Cutty wasn't a bad guy. Interesting, but not bad. Facing her other teammates she nodded at the Hufflepuff, then shrugged at the girl. She wasn't an expert. Potions was her thing, not runes.
"It's just a speculation," she told the Slytherin. "I think we're going to try different options..?" Right? That's what the Hufflepuff was going for, yeah?
His
(Tobias) ideas did make sense, so did the runes he just mentioned. "Why don't you try one of the ones you mentioned, it can't hurt, right?" He was the one with the ideas, and she'd already done part of the work.
Did anyone else have more suggestions?
