[ Now that he's actually getting to see the separate runes, it's almost immediately far more complicated (along the levels he was expecting, but still) than Robby was beginning to hope; but that's because he's looking at multiple alternatives, and that's a relief to hear and understand. ]

I'll take whichever ones doesn't want me drawing birds. [ Sorry, Egyptian hieroglyphs. It's said with a pinch of humour, but Robby leans in to inspect the papers better, and he taps a finger to the Futhark and the Etruscan choices (as long as it's the alphabet). ]

Those two look like something I'm gonna be able to get my head around. Unless this is a case of looks being deceiving, and I just picked the challenge.

[ Unless either of these are one of the classics -- maybe that Futhark one? ]
