Paige shifted her own attention to the bag of runes on her desk, gently pouring them out and...somewhat giving herself a bit of a quiz on remembering their order and to which ætt each belonged to - something she still struggled with and surely would be a problem come NEWT time were she to actually go through with her plan to sit it.
Remaining quiet at first, Paige listened to her classmates as they offered up replies and chewed on her lower lip thinking about what to offer up herself. She did know a fair bit about their mythology from reading various muggle works, but something isolated that could contribute to a grander discussion was far more appealing than simply regurgitating text.
"They were said to shape destiny by carving runes into the trunk of the great ash tree Yggdrasil," she began, echoing sentiments from a Ravenclaw boy she did not recognize. Her eyes shifted to the runes she still had half arranged on her desk - order...certainly far from being correct. "Although some poems describe them doing this differently as well...but..is there a connection to why runes are often carved in wood?" Stone was also quite common but they had been carving into their wooden desks a lot this term so...lots of wood. "The connection to Yggdrasil and the Norns?"
And she...should probably stop arranging her runes on her desk and put them back in her bag for this cast, yeah? Paige grabbed the bag off her desk and quickly swept her feeble attempt at testing herself back in it and gentle shook the bag - the sound somewhat reminding her of the sound of rain falling in London...which was quite soothing and brought a smile to her face.
