[i][color=C0C0C0]If I were to have my own title, what would it be, I wonder?[/color][/i]

The thought came at a comical timing right after Dame Patel introduced herself to the class. Ben would have to admit that the impression he had on the vampire wasn't entirely positive. Once, he had caught her name out of Eris when he had declined an offer for some sort of happening—Ben hadn't cared for the conversation so he had not paid complete attention⁠—and he distinctly remembered her title. 'Dame' was not one of the traditional titles he was used to hearing but it was clear that this woman was someone of importance. Unfortunately much like Viscountess Vasiliev it would seem his impression was tainted by the actor. There was a thought in the back of his mind that begrudgingly admitted Eris' network was more varied than his, but he would dismiss it. Said actor was nowhere in sight and thus was this place a happy one with no need to bring him even to mind.

Dame Patel was interesting even if she did associate with Eris. She was quite perky for her age for one. Title aside, her enthusiasm was infectious and she used the most curious nickname. Chickadees were small birds equivalent to finches but it did not seem to be used negatively. Perhaps it spoke of how she saw them or maybe it was meant to be a symbol of her status as the educator and how she viewed the younger generation. As they would look to her for guidance he supposed it fit. Still, 'Wolfsbane' and 'chickadee' were awfully odd to be coming from the same person.

Nonetheless Ben made sure to pay careful attention. He had failed his own personal task at mastering his touchphone and had only accomplished taking photos and videos. It was useful at times but when it came to communication he had yet to trust the screen and his own taps in order to properly send a messaged. He wished the phones had keys that popped out like his typewriter. Even his old phone, however, was only barely utilized. Noah and Geoffrey often sent him 'voice mails' and 'voice memos' that he found increasingly useful. And so he decided on this class in order to better himself. He hadn't expected the computer image, but the idea of using a fancy laptop was an exciting prospect to him indeed.
