Bee, captioned: Just bee yourself. Do your own sting.Miranda’s made a heck of an impression, if she’s got Bianca convinced that this was still totally her plan all along.

I am sure Patrick still gets more than a few “Master”s into his dialogue over the rest of the series. How many times does he actually say “Bee”?

…I’m gonna start keeping a count of those while doing annotations, at least as long as I don’t forget. From now on, if you catch a page where it didn’t get counted, give a buzz.


Bianca: This was another test, wasn’t it…

(GULP)

Then it’s time to start passing.

Patrick! Change back — not to the form you were in earlier, but to the version you were using when we first met. That means none of the changes to make me happy. Don’t be taller, or anything else.

Patrick: Are you sure?

Bianca: It doesn’t matter to you either way, right?

Patrick: Of course not.

Bianca: Then I’m sure.

Also! Maybe you can’t use my name, but if you’re like Poe, nicknames are just fine. So call me “Bee” from now on. No more “Master”. Got it?

Patrick: As you wish, Bee!

Bianca: . . . I can’t make you make it stop sounding like “Master”, can I.
