Diana’s question was pretty straightforward, and yet, Calypso did not fully understand it. Asking what made a person who they were was not only strange but also confusing.
“I don’t understand your question.”
“I’m sorry, was I not direct enough?”
“No, it’s just I don’t understand... what do you mean ‘what makes Calypso, Calypso?”
“I’m curious to know what makes you behave like you do.”
“How do I behave?”
“Very strangely”
Diana’s directness surprised Calypso, but it didn’t offend her. It was like she was conversing with a friend, and she couldn’t remember the last time she had one.
“I think you’re quite strange too,” Calypso responded
“Then we’re compatible.”
Diana’s soft tone and lighthearted responses made Calypso feel comfortable enough to open up, even if it was just a little.
