"Didn't we agree you'd celebrate your birthday with Lisette?" Ulysses burst out, his face a storm of disapproval.
"Lisette's birthday is tomorrow. You had this grand party tonight. What do you expect Lisette to think?"
Calliope was on the receiving end of his tirade, unable to get a word in edgewise, while Ulysses continued, "You
went all out, hosting it here in the banquet hall. Tomorrow, Lisette's party is downstairs. Are you trying to stir up
gossip?"
"Are you happy only if everyone thinks Lisette can't measure up to you?" he accused. "You're her sister. After all
these years, haven't you got any affection for her?"
Calliope stood there, calm and composed, letting Ulysses run out of steam. When he finally stopped, she said
slowly, "When did | ever promise to celebrate my birthday with Lisette?"
"When?" Ulysses shot back coldly. "Isn't that how it's always been?"

"Always been?" Calliope echoed, raising an eyebrow. "That's what you all assumed. But did anyone ever bother
askinghow | felt about it? Did anyone ask if | agreed?"
Ulysses hesitated, glancing at Valerian and Horafor support. It occurred to him that while everyone just
assumed it was acceptable, no one had actually consulted Calliope. They just took it for granted.
"Isn't that what sisters do?" Ulysses pressed on stubbornly. "You're the older one."
"Exactly, Calliope," Valerian interrupted, irritation evident in his voice. "You're the big sister. Shouldn't you be
nicer to Lisette? Lisette's had a rough life without parents. She's never felt secure. What's the harm in giving her
a little leeway?"
"Aren't the dress you're wearing designed by K? Where did you get K's designed dresses? Get one for Lisette too.
She has party tomorrow and shouldn't be dressed worse than you!"
Calliope stared at Valerian in disbelief. "You wantto get her a K-designed dress?"
"Why not? Consider it a birthday gift.
If you can get one, you can get another for Lisette," Valerian insisted. Everyone knows she adores K's designs
but can't get her hands on them. If you have the means, why not help her out?"
Calliope's expression was incredulous, almost amused. Just because she could, did that mean she had to?
With a slight smirk, she looked at Valerian. "You do think I should get her a K-designed dress?"
"Of course. It's her favorite!" Valerian replied. "Isn't it reasonable for you to give her a gift?"
"Fine. I'll get her a K dress for her birthday tomorrow," Calliope agreed, her words carrying a hint of irony.
Valerian ngdded with satisfaction.
"That's more like it, Callie. We all

need to make Lisette feel cherished.
BUMS
She's had it tough without parents."
Calliope's eyes held a mocking glint as she looked at Valerian, making him slightly uneasy, though he said
nothing more since she had agreed.
"Anything else?" Calliope asked, her tone cold.
"Just ensure you're early tomorrow. If you're bringing the dress, Lisette will need tto change into it," Valerian
reminded her.
"I'll be there early," Calliope assured
them, her lips curving into a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes her gaze frosty as it swept over the three of
them.
