"Would you be willing to tutor me again?" Joella asked. She did need the help and so far Mister Ruskin had the rare privilege of not being a total annoyance to the girl annoyed by most things in life. She would rather deal with someone she knew to be decent at teaching her things than some moron that was an unknown variable in her life.

Joella did find Mister Ruskins hands a touch cold but she did not mind that too much considering she knew that he was a half-vampire. It was part of his being, she figured and best not reacted to. Though Joella never reacted to anything in general but that made showing mild consideration to the half vampire boy all the more easier.

"Do you do much dancing?" He was of higher status in society than her so she figured he did.
