Melpomene had arrived early because she had promised to bring lots of food. Which meant lots of setting up. She also had those clothes (either as a joke or serious, who knew?) But she had also brought some new clothes for Ella. She loved doting on her new tiny niece and couldn't get enough of her. The pink gift bag was set on the counter for when Clio was ready to open it.
The moment she saw Orpheus she was all smiles. "Sweetling!" she said as she hugged him tightly. Looking him over she shook her head tsked, "Much too thin. Honestly, do you eat?"
