Callisto responded...<em>to his response.</em>His immediate silence following it it however made the conversation extremely odd.<br/><br/>She had had asked a question...<br/><br/>He acknowledged it, but stated he couldn't kiss and tell.<br/><br/>She told him...<em>(rather nicely she thought)</em>hogwash. She asked a question.<br/><br/>He confirmed she was right... she did in fact ask a question.<br/><br/>Then nothing... mere silence... so much so in fact that she had to tilt her head, her eyes almost forming the word<em>Well...?</em>themselves. Before she'd actually have to ask however, he was explaining it would be 'uncouth' to answer the question she had posed. His innocence made it literally impossible to insinuate anything to him or imply a threat of any kind.<br/><br/>She made her way towards him on the staircase...<br/><br/>Maybe another tact....<br/><br/><em>"Here's the thing... I really appreciate your sense of decency. The thing is..."</em>As she spoke, she let her shoulder lean against his. He was only a little shorter than her, but when sitting down it was barely noticeable.<br/><br/><em>"-... If you don't answer, I'm stuck having to... guess."</em>As she spoke the word 'guess'... she let her right hand gently rest on his leg while her right upper arm leaned against his left.
