Hey, you've reached Ben. I'm probably at the gym or Stark's or eating ice cream--shh, I don't want to hear about it, Ender and Karla--but I'll get back to you when I turn the comm back on if you leave a message!

Randomly, during first period on Thursday, Ben would get a psychic thread from Karla.

*Ben? Was your grandfather ever nicknamed anything? During a war?*

No reason she was asking.

[momslilassassin]

Ben's reply was noticeably wary. Depends on the war, he said carefully. But yes.

*The Fearless Hero or something like that. It involves heroics and fearlessness. I'm already growing itchy,* she teased. *So glad some traits bred true.*

[momslilassassin]

Oh, Hero With No Fear. Ben's mental voice was amused. He hates that nickname. Can't blame him. It's so overblown.

[glacial_queen]

*If you ever get a nickname like that, I'm going to harrass you like it's my job,* she threatened. *Mother Night. So, wait...was he the youngest person to sit on the Jedi Council or not?*

[momslilassassin]

Ben snorted. No.

[glacial_queen]

*Thank you Ben,* she sent, almost purring with satisfaction. *You have been most helpful. No getting yourself killed while I'm in class.*
