This was...tedious. And not entirely in a good way either but he had started it and it would drive him insane if he did not finish it...and he had to give it an honest effort because he never did any school work at half speed. Well...usually at least.

Probably was that he was a bit too literal with this, at least when t came to himself, and it was taking him an embarrassingly long time trying to find a rune he felt made an appropriate fit for 'hardworking'. At first when he was reviewing Fehu he considered it an option, but that was more the manifestation of hard work, the result, and not so much in the moment. Same with Jera. Though...Uruz didn't seem so bad. It was the untamed potential that convinced him for the most part. Maybe. He would just roll with that for now...and then assigned Eihwaz to 'realism' because of its connotations with honesty, reliability, and trustworthiness. Was how he felt realism could be interpreted....but scanning down the page again reminded him of Tiwaz's existence and he felt that even more appropriate - analysis and rationality, obviously. For the traits meant to be weaknesses, he exclusively looked at the merkstave meaning of each rune and felt...somewhat confident in his selection.

Hardworking (strength)
Uruz

Realistic (strength)
~~Eihwaz~~ Tiwaz

Judgmental (weakness)
Laguz (merkstave)

Arrogant (weakness)
Othala (merkstave)

This had been remarkably easier to do for Missa than it had for himself.

Nodding to suggestions of the runes, the brunette scribbled some more on her notes:

After a bit of reading, and writing and re-writing the runes, she again turned to Eiji, "does this sound right?"

Rubbing his face a moment, hoping to soothe the annoyance from his brow, Eiji glanced over at Missa again when she asked him to look things over. "Looks...okay," he nodded, though he paused at her 'over thinking option'. "I think you should at Tiwaz in merkstave. It can mean creative flows are blocked, mental paralysis, and over-analysis. You have one that represents a rune for the solution for your weakness," he smiled encouragingly. "Already thinking ahead."

Smirking affectionately, his attention was drawn to Professor Beryl as she made her way around observing everyone's work. "Getting on fine, professor."

Probably. He was far more confident in his girlfriend's work than he was his own.
