She was amused at his answer to the assistant, who had handed Melody the invoice for the items with barely a glance at her. She was counting out the money onto the docket, and pushed it all back to the distracted girl.
"I'm Melody," she told him, "and I guess you know where I work," she added, "and it was nice meeting you too," she told him, picking up the packages and putting them in the messenger bag she had slung over her shoulder. She went to stick out her hand, figuring that he seemed like the type who wouldn't attack her outside the store, or on her way home, if they had shaken hands, though she had no idea what made her believe that. Perhaps the way he'd taken her fingers and pressed them to his throat, or the simple fact he'd actually told her what he was, she didn't know. but it just seemed like the thing to do. Until she realised his hands were full of his purchases, and Socrates' cage. So instead the hand thrust turned into a sort of wave and she giggled a little. "Can I give you a hand with something?" she offered instead, her hands conspicuously free.
