Ohohoh..! [Well the upside of this awkward conversation is that Cotton apparently doesn't find it awkward at all. She is, as it perpetually seems, merely charmed.] I do find I've left that impression so far..! Perhaps it's the element of surprise, [she jokes, her smile wide.] Personally I find that simply doing one's best to keep an open mind has helped though. We didn't have school such as this when I was growing up, and I'm quite happy to learn what there is to be offered- and even happier when it means I get to relive a little bit of my younger years in the fields, hmhmhmh!

[She might have a point with the element of Surprise- perhaps just about every vampire and novice in her path has simply been blown over by the relentless optimism that somehow lacks an expected layer of naivety.]
