Calliope bent their head to the side, incredulous. “I don’t think she’d spare time for anyone she does not consider such, not right now.” Thinking about the grim mood they had seen Sonia in “If you want to respect her, you have to value her time and believe her to make good choices for herself. Why would she waste time with someone that was indifferent to her?” Chéri then sighed but said nothing. If they had planned to offer friendship, the mopey mood Darius was displaying was discouraging any attempt.
