Darius looked over at Calliope with a helpless smile. "I mean, I don't know.. but usually the more attractive people get married off or live an easy life on someone's arm pretty quickly, if they chose to." He shrugged and looked away awkwardly. "Well I suppose everyone has different interests. Some people don't deserve to though.. " His stupid brother popped up in his mind and he rubbed his face then noticed the man staring at him. He leaned back just a little, feeling more nervous. "No.. you did not. But you seem at ease, if you are not, you could look for somewhere else. But I would hope they would take care of you. That place seemed nicer than ..." The others? He couldn't even say it. His eyes searched the room for anything of interest than Calliope.

He was grateful to leave the room and return with food. To see Calliope lose some of his grace to eat the food with such pure enjoyment. It almost made him wish he knew how to cook, but what did he care? As long as he could provide and bring some joy to Calliope or anyone else who would spend time with him that was what mattered.
