Melissa had to giggle at the disappointment and...boredom, apparently, that was evident in Charles' face. Either he really found her attractive and was disappointed that she didn't outright thank him for thinking that, or he was trying to seduce her and wasn't particularly fond of the reaction he was given. Oh well. It didn't really matter much to Melissa; so long as she was being served like proper royalty, she really couldn't care less.

The comment about her being kind did put a smile on her face, however. As did the one about her truly being attractive.

"Thank you, Charles, dear," Melissa said happily. "I'm glad to hear you say that, especially considering that others of my species believe themselves to be more attractive and more royal than me." With a frown, she muttered "Braggart scum." under her breath, and then went back to her normal bright smile. "We do all look different, however. Some are just more gifted than others.~" Melissa giggled.

"Well done, please, Charles, dear," Melissa requested on the topic of food. "And in terms of the museum, I think we should visit the Ancient Egypt exhibit first. The section about pharaohs I find particularly alluring, what with them being royals and, for the most part, dead. Much like yours truly." With another giggle, Melissa had another drink of her grape juice, and frowned slightly.

"Could you get me some tea, please, Charles, dear? I'm growing rather tired of fruit juice."
