"Thank you for the compliment...I think," Mirriam now was wiping at her mistake, "One of the many reasons why I do NOT make bricks."
"Was a compliment," Bettina commented with a grin, "an' bricks...could be worse!"
She paused then to glance over to where the new girl was shedding those muddy cover-alls, "Wanna put that out in the hallway then...thank you."
"Yeah, I can do that...was gonna hang 'em out a window ta let 'em dry out a bit."? She had managed to shed them without leaving a mess, a well-practiced habit that took a little finesse.
The brunette then rolled her eyes, "Do you honestly think I would do all this just to cook?"
She did not wait for an answer though, "I am the Paradise singer and dancer. I entertain the menfolk primarily."
"Ah, right, should'a guessed."? Honestly, it made good sense. Mirriam really was pretty, so that even not taking into account talent, she would attract attention.? "Hey, maybe I should try that, too!"? Starting with an ungainly twirl, she launched into an awkward dance and off-key tune.? She was kidding, but she was having fun, and that was helping her to work off some newbie nerves.
