Zero" Sorry Miss, I just didn't know your name so I called you ma'am, please don't be angry with me." Zero said with his hands out like he was trying to stop her from attacking him, Zero took off his hat with his left hand and put his right hand out," Nice to meet you, my name is Zero." he said with a confident smile on his face,

Kijani raised her eyebrows. 'Miss' was bad, too, but not as bad as 'ma'am' was. At least he was trying to be nice. She could do that too, if she wanted to. Best to start learning now. As her grandmother always said: [i] You'll never know when you'll meet someone useful. [/i]

She smiled politely and shook Zero's hand. Her handshake was firm but not painful. "Kijani. Nice to meet you."
