I don't know about Ts but I *hate* compliments. If someone said I was beautiful, I'd say "thank you" and change the subject quickly. Inside I'd be cringing soooooo bad "OMG! She said I was beautiful!? But I'm not AT ALL!! What does she want? Is she fishing for a compliment? Is she buttering me up for a favour? Aargh! What do I do???? Move on, move on, change the topic!!" I've found, through trial and error, to briefly acknowledge the compliment (saying thank you, NOT because I know I'm completely stunning btw! lol) and change the topic.
Anyway, cutting through my waffle, the only way you will know what T was thinking about the compliment is if you ask her and she tells you. As you posted, it could be a whole load of responses, but I think most of them are about her, rather than about you (my response to compliments is about my issue with self-worth, nothing to do with the person who complimented me)
