Melaina's face showed a mix between blankness and confusion as the girl spoke. Her words were poetic, far artful and magnificent for Melaina's simple mind to process. So she simply stared for a few moments before opening her mouth to speak. [color=ec008c]"Um...okay...you too, I guess?"[/color] she had no idea what else to say. Then, suddenly, she perked back up, the blank, confused look being replaced with a happy, dimwitted expression, complete with the toothy grin and wide eyes. [color=ec008c]"Anyway, I'm Melaina!  I'll break it up for you!  Me, as in the girl standing before you, Lain, like the ones you throw bowling balls down, and A, the first letter in the alphabet!" [/color]she said.  The way she spoke was in no way artful, magnificent, or poetic, but there was a certain charming ring to her words.
