Willpower only gets someone so far in the face of an almighty sweet tooth. [ She just... really likes sweets and desserts, okay. She likes nice things. ]
Oh. Sorry, I just usually call people by their surnames unless I know them. Force of habit, I suppose.
[ Not to mention she knows Will's in a position of "authority" of sorts, as both an adult and someone who teaches. It's out of respect, in all honesty. She even refers to Ben as 'Professor Dearborn' whilst in school. ]
I am, yes. I believe they call it 'eleventh grade' here.
it's fine. i've just been called by my last name enough for a lifetime. [ Being a cop and then a professor will do that to a person. Will's basking in the no-frills 'professional' world of Deerington, by now. ]
are you not from earth? [ Will hears someone not familiar with 'eleventh grade' and he just...immediately assumes it's something like Fern being from a fantasy world, sorry. ]
That's understandable. [ Watch her call him 'Professor Will' if she's ever here long enough to try take any college classes. She'll absolutely do that. ]
I'm from Britain. [ ... Is there really a difference? ] Like Ben. I'm from Ireland originally, but me and my dad live outside a small village in Devon.
The school system's just a little different from back home. I'm a sixth year at my school, or I would be right now.
