At least they both thought Ryner just did this to mess with the vampires. Eris sighed, the confirmation dragging his mood down rather than lifting it. He did manage to hold in a yelp as he was suddenly pulled forward, though his expression made absolutely no effort in hiding his unamused expression. He [i]hated[/i] getting pulled without warning, would it kill the kid to give him a heads up?! Then again, he was probably enjoying this, no amount of goodwill or trust would ever erase the mini power trip that probably came with the practical.

That said, at least he made good on actually informing Eris of what the next challenge was. The first thing he thought was that he took solace in silence, but he was pretty sure that might have been overthinking things. They probably needed to take the blocks, but if they had runes, then he wasn't sure what they meant. If there were multiples, it did mean that they were probably meant for a limited amount of students, or so he assumed. 

[color=ccff99]"One block for you, one block for me, could be used for a future puzzle,"[/color] Eris guessed, scratching his chin as he walked forward and right into the table, letting out a slight gasp of surprise. Maybe now was the time to kick the habit of walking while talking. [color=ccff99]"The 'solace' part is what I don't get. What, are we supposed to comfort the blocks? Cradle them as we go along?"[/color] He felt the table, hand brushing against one block as he picked it up. Carefully running his fingertips over it, he felt the indents, recognizing the pattern as stars.

[color=ccff99]"Can't be harmful to take them along, if there aren't that many then it's first come first serve,"[/color] He noted, covering the block with both hands just to see if it did anything. [color=ccff99]"And even if we get it wrong, it blocks someone else from doing well and that's always fun."[/color] And that much did make him feel a little better. Who didn't like a little sabotage?
