"You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it." Franklin tried his best to be reassuring and non-frightening. Hopefully Pete wasn't dwelling on the exact nature of Franklin's matter and space-manipulating abilities. It wouldn't do to have him terrified of his little old history teacher.

"I look forward to reading more of your work." Hopefully Pete actually showed up in class a little more often. The turtles were interfering with his academic development! How was he supposed to attain all the state curriculum outcomes when he wasn't able to be around half the time!

All the same, he couldn't really be too hard on Pete for patchy attendance. He probably showed up whenever he could. Sharing bodies with a turtle must have been hard.

"And before I forget, I'm organizing a field trip to the Ellis Island museum and Statue of Liberty, if you want to go."
