"Mostly luck, I was near enough to your announcement to get a good look at you." Maxwell tried to remember as many names as they could, the strange names were the ones that gave them the easiest to hold onto. "Having a theme also suits. Yours is bee-autiful, if you need more flattery."
Maxwell's grin is cheeky at the most basic wordplay to get their point across. The dancing is point of tension, their skills on their feet do not match their title at all. And at any point Anthophila could start leading and Maxwell would let him take over.
"I felt I needed a title to go with the name, but just about any title would do." It's dismissive of the title, and also the question of if the title was theirs. Answering without an answer. Plus, better than their previous questions on the title, the have a better retort to the question as a whole, "How much of your name is just yours for tonight?"
