Calliope had no idea why Alex was apologizing. If anything, she should be the one apologizing for laughing. He wasn't being mean at all, and she was laughing at him. It made her feel guilty. When he commented more about her hair, she turned bright red, which became very evident against her green hair. In all honesty, she never thought she was good looking. She always thought her skin too pale and looking very frail. She would have replied back, but Alex had started playing on the piano again. She recognized the music immediately. Her aunt played the piano to help sooth her sometimes. Getting up, Calliope walked over to Alex and stood next to him. As was her habit, she started humming along and when he finished she looked at him.

"That was lovely, thank you. And um, thanks for the . . compliment." she said, having a hard time keeping eye contact.

Now what should she say? She honestly was trying to think of something else, but couldn't think. Man, she was a dummy.

"Uh, sorry for laughing earlier. I just never met anyone like you." she said honestly.
