Calliope
Calliope smiled brightly at Hadama's question, pleased that the name was indeed recognized. It was a testament to her mother's true brilliance as the Jewel of the Sea. Well, former brilliance. She hoped Hadama wouldn't ask any follow-up questions about why Selah went away, as the answer to that was very complicated and not even Calliope knew the entire truth.
Yes, she was, though she doesn't work anymore. She replies casually, beginning to swim forward into the shop that Hadama stopped them at. Calliope had many opposing feelings about her mother that she didn't want revealed to a complete stranger, even though he was the king. I have taken up her lyre and am now performing myself, though I have yet to achieve her level of fame, she adds after, lifting her chin in a show of pride.

now's the time to be alive, to stay awake and be with me a while, and smile
