“Her name was Venus, Master of the Universe,” Jean croons to Serena‘s sister, “I am so humbled in the presence of a goddess.”

“The song that he wrote for me, I thought it was some surprise he had planned for me maybe, that he had the song ready but he was just free-flowing,” she said of the little rhyme.

Witness it here:

Don’t worry, Venus, this isn’t his first time out of the gate.
