In which there was studying...

[Maka]

Maka wiped off the glass and stuck it back into her bag before sneeking a peek at Hanna. He was a really good friend, kind of clutsy and weird but awesome at the same time.

[hannafalkcross]

Hanna could feel her looking at him and touched one of his bandaids lovingly. It may not have been covered in dinosaurs, but it was still awesome.

[Maka]

Maka smiled slightly and closed her book. She wondered if Hanna might teach her runes this late, since she obviously wasn't going to be able to sleep at all.

[hannafalkcross]

Hanna was writing in his journal, smiling and doodling like a little kid with candy. There was no possible way he was going to get any sleep -or any work done for that matter- tonight.

[Maka]

Maka hopped off the couch and sat down next to Hanna.

"Um Hanna," she said tenatively, "Would you mind teaching me runes right now?"

[hannafalkcross]

Hanna slammed his journal shut and almost shoved it clean off the table, "Uh, yeah! If you want, that is..."

[Maka]

Maka stiffled a laugh and nodded.

"Yeah I'd like that," she said with a smile.

[hannafalkcross]

Hanna scrambled for some paper. "Well, there's so many different classifications of runes... I guess we could cover what types of things you'd like to know first...," He rambled, getting out a pen for both of them, "There's protection, regeneration, creation, destruction,.....relations..." His voice sank at that last one.

[Maka]

Maka blushed slightly at the last one. She tucked some of ehr hair behind her ear and smiled slightly.

"whatever ones you want to teach i'm good with," she said.

[hannafalkcross]

"Well, I mean... You're the one learning. I'm fine with anything," Hanna smiled, handing her a pen and a piece of paper to practice on, "I'm just here to teach you."

[Maka]

Maka smiled and took the pen, flipping it around much like she probably would have done to Soul in weapon form.

"Well Mr. Cross," she said with a glint in her eyes, "Why not just teach me from the top?"

[hannafalkcross]

"Okay," he smiled at her using his last name, drawing three triangles exactly like the Triforce in Legend of Zelda, "This one may look like a video game reference, but when drawn on something or someone is signals a rebirth. It reanimates corpses, or if you're lucky and get there before they die, prevents death." His knowledge in studies was helping calm his nerves.

[Maka]

"Really?" Maka said copying the symbol, it was slightly messy compaired to his.

[hannafalkcross]

He smiled, "It takes practice to draw them right, especially in the heat of the moment, but yeah." He then drew one that looked like a rigid capital P, "This is the wish rune. It creates a harmony between souls, and can be applied as a frame around an area to create a zone in which there is no war or disagreement. Just peace."

[Maka]

"Harmony between souls..." Maka repeted drawing it, "Sounds like soul resonance."

She remembered the time when she and Soul first had their soul resonance. It was after he'd finnished playing the piano. She frowned and yanked on one of her ponytails, she needed Soul out of her head.
