Annabeth thought about his question for a second. She didn't really have an answer, but that was not going to be acceptable in the prince's presence.
'Talk until you find a reason why,' she thought to herself.
Slowly she looked up to the prince, her lips pursed into a thin line. She began to make her comments as to why she thought of this piece. "Maybe because it was the first one that came to my mind," Annabeth began. "As I said earlier, I didn't really have time to think of this piece before creating it, so I just used the first idea that came to mind and ran with it."
Dominic's eyes remained on hers. His eyes were not going to back down, he was curious. He wanted to know what was going on in her mind, why she chose that piece and why she chose that way to execute it. Annabeth caught his gaze. She knew her answer was not enough for him.
