Lily giggled and let him pull her down -ok so andromeda's mother cassiopea was very proud of her beautiful daughter and would go around bragging about her to everyone she saw and talked to...one day the nereids got fed up and chained andromeda to a rock and let the sirens peck at her until she was dead, luckily for her she was saved by Perseus who married her eventually. but as punishment the gods made andromeda and her mother into constellations but could never be seen in the same part of the year so cassiopea could never see her daughter again- she looked over at Alexander to see his reaction
