Still reeling from his insecurities being heard by the Professor (and really, if she heard then WHO ELSE HAD), Blaise could only nod at Zeke's suggestion. Not like he could decline, the boy was already circling the cim bucket around the incense and making his way back.

With a heavy sigh, the young Gryffindor took the bucket and got on his knees then tilted the bucket slightly. Not wanting to have to start all over, he was very careful with his shaking of the bucket while the question ricocheted off the walls of his mind.

Shake. Shake. Shake.

Huh. 20. "What does this mean?" He asked, offering Zeke the stick to hold while he took one of his cim buckets and headed for the incense. Three circles later, he was back to take his stick and offer the bucket. "Is 20 good or bad?" Not that it mattered. He didn't want a future in stupid magic anyway.

Honestly, he wasn't sure he was going to remember all this terminology stuff for the Kau Cim reading things, like that 'q' word - already forgotten - though it was something he was sure he would be able to remember if he spent some time revising it. For now though, the interpretations were what interested him.

Zeke watched as Blaise shook the bucket, curious as a single stick fell out.

20. And WHAT did it mean? Zeke shrugged, he hadn't opened his textbook yet, and he wasn't in a hurry to do so right away. He wanted to know HIS number first, and THEN he'd be motivated to get his book.

"Not sure man, guess we'll find out soon?"

He looked to Professor Tanner quickly before turning his attention to the Cim bucket that was being offered to him. That was quick. Whether 20 was good or not was still yet to be determined. "I'm going to hazard a guess and say good," he decided, just because.

Zeke thought very deliberately about his question, having decided to ask about whether he would be a Curse Breaker after school. With his thoughts locked on that, he positioned himself on his knees and turned the bucked on a downward angle before gently shaking it.

Shake, shake, shake, shake.... there were two that appeared to be at risk of falling, one more so than the other. Shake. And only one fell out. 57. "Fyi, your number looks better," Zeke decided out loud. 20 somehow seemed a more positive number than 57. 57 was just... odd, literally.
