Cécile is learning how you can't win against the bro club :
She's also the only character using 'bien' meaning very/really (as in 'je suis bien fâchée'=I'm really angry), and doing so often.
I thought it was simply an old timey expression (it has a nice old granny connotation today), but then other characters might have used it as well. Maybe it's always been a very goody two shoes way of speaking.

i'll forever be mad about catholicism coming up with the sickest phrases making it impossible for me to use them what do you mean sic transit gloria mundi is used for the pope's coronation and is not just the absolute most life altering phrase to remind you of your own mortality

Bugs are nice. Some I’m not to fond of, but I can see why you like them.
- @bliklo-tep
Well I pride myself on being a bug collector ! Can't have a functioning colony without the small bugs. Though I prefer them with wings if you could imagine. Most don't have them to begin with so its very....annoying to make them get wings
