Ben shrugs as his smile returns, "Eh, I'm in no rush. Hey, what did you think about what Anthony said about you in Mimic's class?"

Kijani dropped her head slightly, thinking about that. "...I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it gives me credibility. On the other hand, it's Anthony giving me the credibility. Considering what he said, I think most of our classmates will look at me much more carefully now. They already don't like him for various reasons, and most of them are led so easily by their petty emotions that they'll dislike me on the basis that he thinks I have potential. On the other hand again..." Her smile was odd, a mixture of pleased and wistful. "No one's ever done that for me before, in that way. Publicly stated that I was... worthwhile. It's new, but nice."
