Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. It was working, at Beauty was by no means empty-headed. That, at least, was comforting. Now, she knew his name. He was a bit behind on the times in the sense that the last inhabitants that lived here lived here before whatever the "Internet" was, but he assumed it would be some other sort of useful technology. They'd certainly come a long way since his time period. He'd never had anyone call him 'Ben' before, it being considered in "incomplete" name, so it was disconcerting at first. But, April was smart and seeming to be more than willing to help so for her, yes, Ben would be fine. His eyes widened as he looked at the screen, it was like a "television" that he saw before, with the other families with the exception that the user could evidently manipulate the display.Fascinating, he thought before shaking his head and looking at the keyboard that she was indicating.Right. It's like a typewriter. I can do this. With concentration, he managed to get an "h" before the blinking cursor. He stopped to take a deep breath. This was energy consuming but he was going to make it. He had to make it. Finally, he hit the "ig" with one rush, finishing it off with the final "h". He had no idea why she would ask him to type that word specifically, but he'd managed. He turned to look at her to see if he'd done it correctly, or more importantly, if it showed up to her at all.
