calliope: i never left.

CALLIOPE: GAAAAAHH!!!

ROXY: callie chillax

ROXY: how did she sneak up behind us like that while shes glowing like a christmas tree

calliope: i do not sneak. i was always behind/before/alongside you.

calliope: i am always alongside/behind/before you.

calliope: i simply made my presence known to you.

JADE: what are you doing here!

calliope: to make a correction to my counterpart's assertion.

calliope: you believe the current appearance of the Home is due to the actions of the prince.

calliope: that is a half truth, the root of the issue is far deeper than that.
