"At least you're willing to try and keep trying," Duce comments softly, almost too softly to hear.

Hopping off the table, she throws her jacket back on over her shoulders, shrugging into it with relief. Safety blanket? Duce? Pshaw. Never.

As she readies to depart, Duce nods, "Our contact information is on file, it's a cell phone and we always have it. If you get voicemail, it means we're in class. If, for some reason, you can't reach us that way, we live at Efferton Manor, and both Wednesday Addams and Daniel Osbourne are authorized to take messages for us. They both know why we're here. If things get icky.. have the phone page us and call them to come get us. One of them always knows where we are."

She lists her roommates, not her parents or guardian. That should be odd, but.. maybe not so odd at FH.
