Grover has always had low self-esteem. So when he found out that you actually liked him he felt a mix of joy and... confusion? Not only had he failed the camp so many times, got someone turned into a tree, third wheeled with every friend group; he just felt like a total disappointment.
The two of you sat by the Canoe Lake in Camp Half-Blood; he had his reed pipes pressed to his lips, gently blowing into the pipes to create a slow melody.
