Because they obviously had a part in todays lesson. "I’m Eleanor or Ellie for short, by the way." She introduced herself since class hadn’t started and this boy was going to sit next to her for the next hours.
Whatever impression she had of him, it not all that accurate. Though shy was not something he was but it would be ill-advised to then assume that he was any sort of extrovert.

Obviously though? Eiji just barely managed to refrain from rolling his eyes because there was nothing obvious about it. One could easily curse any object to do anything - maybe even those tiny elephants he knew his little sister would be obsessed over were the result of a shrinking curses and that needed to break to be brought back to full size. Foolish as that would be in the classroom setting anyway. So his hazel-green eyes merely looked over the Gryffindor coolly before looking forward and tried to keep his snarky comments to himself.

He heard her name, for the record. Eleanor would be what he would be calling her.

She was very excited for them to be taking their first Arithmancy lesson, even if they themselves had heard less than pleasant things about her subject. Arithmancy got such a bad reputation, it was quite disconcerting considering how beautiful and pure it is.

Light golden robes shimmering as she crossed a sunbeam streaming through the window, Ayana addressed the class at large. "What are some uses of Arithmancy that you have heard of? Most of you must know that it is a calculations based field. On what parameters do these calculations depend? Also, please tell me your name before you answer, so that I might start learning who each of you are." She was quite talented with names, if she did say so herself. The talent, she suspected, went hand in hand with her knack for number manipulation and memorisation, and had proved to be extremely useful ever since she'd become a teacher.
Only the attempt to keep any snarky commentary to himself failed when the professor asked for them to say their names. Eiji Rasting, not being one to speak much in classes to begin with, found this incredibly counterproductive and instead did the practical thing and grabbed a bit of parchment from his dragon hide messenger bag to begin folding into a name plate. Something beneficial that came from his time at Himitsumahou, superior origami skills. Though most the the time they then utilized those results for transfiguration exercises...but he would save that for another day. He did not think the professor would take kindly to him whipping his wand out in the middle of class.

Quill out, and now wasting time that he could be taking notes, the fourth year fashioned himself a name plate and set it on his desk - for the benefit of the professor and Eleanor because no he had not introduced himself after she had.

Which meant that the Slytherin missed the first few answers, though did catch the whole personality traits and such which...he had had more than enough of with Ancient Runes. Hopefully they would not be doing any more of that today. Nor did he particularly care about using numbers to predict the future - he was not taking Divination for a reason.

He then heard someone, a Hufflepuff, mention cursebreaking and he felt a tiny smirk because see. Though that smirk dropped when the professor praised but had only given his conversation with Gryffindor companion a small silent look. Right, whatEVER.

Honestly, everything his peers were discussing sounded so subjective. The future. Personality traits. Relationships. All things that were never stable and certain, which was ironic considering how certain numbers were and he rolled his eyes while leaning back in his seat - MORE than a little unimpressed now. Maybe he would be dropping this subject. Predicative numerology...no thanks. If anything he would prefer some sort of preemptive numerology if there were such a thing.

Whatever they were doing here today, which he admitted to being genuinely curious about, had to do with those items and it wasn't because of any curse placed upon them. He assumed at least. But the professor had seemed delighted with answers that mentioned names more so than birth dates or any other sort of parameters. Interesting. So what was going on in her head right now that she had everyone's name? Individualized calculations?

Now he was even more glad he was staying quiet, though he did scribble a few pointed notes on another piece of parchment.

name; nature of an object
Obviously not. He was still hung up on that comment.
