[indent]Edward blinked, then chuckled. Straightening himself, he had the decency to look properly scolded. "Ha-ha, if that's how it is, then I apologize. I simply tried testing the waters, if you will." 

Although there was one thing he should add. "The pomp and flair was a bit much, but I wasn't lying when I said that I'm pleased to meet you, and I don't think anyone would deny that you're the fair looking sort." Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, of course, but Edward was relatively sure that most people would agree that Lily was someone people would double-take for. She looked like an adorably disagreeable doll, after all - not that they would say that to her face, but it was a natural train of thought.

Well, this was this and that was that. He'd yet to get her name after all.

"I guess it'd be better to keep it simple," he said with a shrug, "though I recall you did ask me 'what kind of beast' I am. I haven't really answered did I? I wish I could answer with something interesting, but unfortunately I'm just a plain old human."[/indent]
