She kind of looks ready to cry, but that could also just be regular, dramatic Drew. "Those earrings you made me? I lost one of them," And she is Very Distraught about it: those were one of her favourite pairs. "I don't even know where it could've GONE. I'm so sorry—"
"Oh, um, the-- the dangly ones?” She tried to think of the pair. Being unsure how to flirt, Nyssa had a tendency to make things for Drew. Hair clips, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, jewelry that doubled as hidden weapons, curling irons, whatever she asked for. Whatever she wanted. Poor, awkward Nyssa couldn’t tell Drew with her words how she felt, and so she showered the Aphrodite girl in handmade gifts.
“It’s alright, really. Earrings are easy to lose, I’m sure.” She’s not sure, actually. She doesn’t have any piercings whatsoever. But they’re awfully tiny, weren’t they? In Drew’s assortment of tiny pieces of jewelry, it’s understandable that one of them would go missing.
“It’s no problem, really--” Nyssa tried to assure the distraught half-blood. If she cried, she’d mess up her makeup, and then she’d cry more; it’d be a vicious cycle that Nyssa had witnessed before.
She wondered if Hephaestus made gifts for Aphrodite in this same way. Unsure to use his words to woo her, in love but unable to appear sexy or beautiful, and only having his hands to create. Did he shower her in presents the way Nyssa did for Drew? Did it work?
“If you can bring me the one that hasn’t gone missing, I can remake it. Don’t worry ‘bout it.” The demigod offered what she hoped was a friendly smile, as compared to what Leo called her ‘passive-aggressive resting bitch face.’
