His various influences were grand, in his opinion, so when questioned about them Zeke looked up at Professor Tanner with a smile. "I can see how they apply," he started. "My biological mum was strong-willed, in her own way. I didn't really know my dad, so she was all I had, and she overcame a lot because of the way she was. I can't say much about her ideas, but I recon I've always had that, original ideas." At least, it had been a common theme regarding the praise he'd received in his first few years here.

As for his adopted parents... "Mum always says not to be predictable, that it can get you killed if you're not careful, I guess that's how that comes in," he said pointing to the page about being free-spirtied and against routine and things. "Since I've been with her, we've traveled a fair bit too, which is amusing." Like, it was a literal translation? More or less. And he figured he didn't need to bring up his reckless Gryffindoring. While he was the only Lion in the family, he knew Emily's side were risk-takers, law enforcement types and all of that.

"And dad's a perfectionist, really, he's a potioneer, so he has to be... and observation is a big factor in how he operates. He can just see things, you know? I've kind of picked up his habits too, at least where potions is concerned." He paused here, contemplating, "I can see how I've taken bits of all of them, but I can also see how my current name is most appropriate to the traits I possess." Arithmancy was just so relevant. It was brilliant.

Was that too much of an analysis? ... Whoops?

"I will give you one minute to find and sit by your partner or partners. Go!"
And so it was time for group work? Cool.

But lulz, no sworn enemies? Deal, he could manage that.

"Partners?" he asked, turning to his desk-buddy Janelle. She could of course decline, but since their heart-to-heart with Ancient Runes it seemed only right that they continue their personal partnership here too.
