[ i promised you a pc and here we are.
alex is at the emporium because literally what else is there to do here other than live in the kitchen, get lost in the woods or fall in the river? ignoring the arcade completely.
she's looking through the shop a little slower than usual. she's kinda been through here a few times so... she's looking for any interesting things she might have missed the first few times she's been here. ]

[with her own investigations having produced nothing of note, Sharon is attempting to pass the time doing. . . well. maid things??? she hasn't cooked any lavish meals as grand as the one on the first day, but she has absolutely been found in the inn puttering about the kitchen and tidying up the area. and her maid duties might have brought her to the emporium in her attempts to find any other tools or trinkets that might prove useful for the group as a whole]
[trinkets like these]
[SO ANYWAY ALEX CAN FIND SHARON IN ONE OF THE EMPORIUM AISLES, CLACKING THE MOUTH OF A T-REX TOGETHER DELIGHTEDLY]

[ ...
y'know what? she's been swooped at by a hawk, had a boy spit instant coffee out of his mouth and try to give it to her and made a priest wear heartglasses this isn't even the weirdest thing that's happened to her in the past 48 hours. ]
Having fun?

[wow poor Alex, why is this her life]
I wouldn't quite call it "fun."
[Sharon says with a delightful giggle, and she lowers the device to her side]
But it is a curious trinket, isn't it?

[ she leans over to pick one out herself ... this one has a little shark head on the top, and she clacks its toothy jaws a few times, curiously. ]
...
That's one way of putting it. Is it meant to be a toy?

I imagine so. A child could find hours of entertainment with these, I'm most certain.

[ this means war. ]
I said the other day you could make something colourful and interactive, and it would win a kid over easily. But this is kinda... taking that to a new level of mastery, huh?
[ her shark's jaws snap open with a squeeze of the handle and
bite down on the top jaw of sharon's t-rex. ]
[ NOM. ]

Then truly whoever came up with this intriguing invention is a marketing genius, are they not?
[OH NO THE POOR T-REX]
[Sharon just kind of lets this happen because why not??? rip T-rex you got eaten by a shark]

[ thus proving to the world that jaws is superior to jurassic park. in this essay i will-- ]
It probably doesn't even take that much money to make. And I bet parents would buy it to keep a kid entertained easily enough.
[ she jiggles the shark's jaw a little, as though it is MONCHING. ]

[BINCH I'LL FIGHT YOU]
Heehee. Perhaps I should try to bring a few home to the Chairman and Lady Alisa. They aren't children, but they may find these devices just as curious as I do.
[anyway now she is PULLING THE T-REX BACK and trying to chomp the shark. om nom]

[ THE ANIMAL GRABBERS HAVE SPOKEN THE TRUTH, AL. ]
That's not a bad idea. I'm not sure if Nicholas would be interested in something like this, but W-- [ ... she goes quiet for a moment, before shaking her head. ]-- well.
Maybe they'd make Nina smile.
Are those friends from home? Or... [ those are quite formal titles, aren't they? ] Are they people you work for?

[also that pause doesn't go unnoticed, but. . . Sharon doesn't pres]
The Chairman and Lady Alisa are my employers, of course. But more than that-- they are my family.
[she sounds so fond!!!]
I've been a humble servant of their household for nine years now.

[ the fun fact here is i've only seen each of them once and am not fussed about seeing them again okay bye ]
So they employ you, but you're family as well? [ ... it sounds a bit like loretta, with galahad and marco. the idea sounds... nice. ]
That doesn't leave sort of... lines you feel you can't cross with them?

[I actually haven't seen jaws I'm just a dinosaur child at heart so I have biases]
Not at all. [her smile is a bit wistful now] I may be the Reinford family maid, but I may act and speak as freely as I please.
[neither Irina nor Alisa have ever made her feel like anything but family. . . and that's why she serves them with every ounce of her heart]
[. . . except when it comes to-- well. no. nevermind]
It just so happens that my desires align with those of both the Chairman and Lady Alisa. There is no conflict at all.

That sounds ideal, then. If you respect and care about the people you work for, it's only going to have positive outcomes really.

[bowing a little]
Precisely.
[BUT ANYWAY]
You mentioned someone by name, too. A Sir Nicholas?
Precisely.
[BUT ANYWAY]

Right, I did. I guess I work for him? But it's not really as formal as what you mentioned.
It's probably easier to say he's my roommate.

[and then, lightly teasing]
Oh my! How scandalous. ♥
[OH NO SHARON]

Heehee. I thought as much; I couldn't help but tease.
Regardless, he sounds as though he is important to you.

He saved my life. Technically.
[ it’s a little more complicated than that but... yeah ]
And then gave me somewhere to stay. He scared me a lot at first, and sometimes he still does but... he’s a better person than a lot of people I’ve met before.
[ her fingers are subconsciously moving slightly as she talks — not involuntary, but purposeful. but the motions are so small it’s difficult to see what she’s doing. ]

[aw. . . how sweet. and the motions may be so small Sharon can't see what she's doing, but. . . she still notices the movements, anyway]
He sounds like quite the dashing and brave soul
[hm]
Your hands. . .?

Is that what you'd call it...?
[ nicholas brown, a DASHING soul. well. he is brave. she supposes. ]
Oh--[ she looks down at her hands in surprise. ]-- oh, I'm signing. Sort of. Nicholas is deaf.

[she may be teasing a bit]
And I see. It must be muscle memory to sign everything you speak, then.

It's good to practice. I'm not that good at it, honestly. So... ... [ she shrugs, almost a little awkwardly ]
Practice makes perfect.
