Nettie was pretty confident in her answers when it came to their activity, so she stopped and listened to the professor as she went on and on about rune correspondence and different systems and blah blah blah. Truthfully, she was starting to zone out, staring at the head of Eloise's head, not really thinking anything other than the fact that she was still not ENTIRELY sure about this sorting thing. The Commander...it just sounded so...intimidating to her. Like she should be a lot more successful than she was.
Then again, she was only 15. So, how successful could one REALLY be at this age?
Lost in her thoughts, she completely missed out on answering the first question, but tuned in as soon as Eiji started going on about languages or something in regards to Beryl's second question. That was sort of where her brain had been going too, which for some reason made her blush even though she hadn't said or done anything. Coming back down to Earth, she blinked a few times and glanced at the board, listening to a few of her classmates finish up their explanations before raising her hand herself.
"Well, I think you run in to trouble trying to translate across mediums because there really is no direct translation for some things. For example, I got the Commander, and there IS no rune that translates exactly in to that. So I had to go with the next best thing, which might not apply entirely. Already, I had to select some runes that I didn't think fit my sorting ENTIRELY. I picked Jera because it represents pay off and success after patience - but on the flip side, it could also mean sudden setback, poverty, and conflict," she explained. "If I just gave someone my runes without explaining why I picked them, and asked them to interpret it, they could completely miss what I was going for because there are so many options it could be."
She hoped that made all made sense. For some reason, this professor intimidated her. Not that she thought she'd be MAD if she got an answer wrong but...she just REALLY wanted to get it right.
