Munkus checked the price on that and nodded very slightly to himself, finally moving to the counter, having found what he needed and figuring it to come just shy of the amount Tugger had given him last night.

Electra surveyed his purchases as she rang them up. "So, you're rather dressed up. Where do you work?"

Electra nodded, continuing to ring up his purchases. "That must be a tiring job," she said, frowning at the price of the bread. It had gone up recently, she though, bagging it. "You look exhausted." She had not meant to say that last bit out loud.

The tabby blinked at that. "I...." He stopped himself before he replied with something resembling honesty as to the actual reason why. "I suppose so. Tends to keep me late working on case notes."

Electra could feel her brows arch at the other's pause. "Yeah," she said. "Seems like a hard job, especially if you're with a smaller firm." She looked down at the pile she was going through. "I never did catch your name, honey," she said, looking back up him as she put a can in the bag.

Electra turned her smile full force upon him. "Electra Peirce," she replied.

"It's good to meet you, Miss Peirce." He answered politely, his tail swishing a bit nervously behind him.

Electra grinned at him. "Oh, Mr. Hollister, no need to be so formal."

Munkus' eyebrows rose at that. "I hardly know you, Miss. In fact, I now know your name and where you work, but hardly enough to call you by your first name."

Electra shrugged. "I also happen to like Jazz music and cooking. Does that help at all?" She disliked being called Miss Peirce. It reminded her too much of her grandfather. She smiled a little, her tail swishing behind her calmly. The tom was strangely cute when his eyebrows went up like that...

"Not especially, but if you prefer your first name, I suppose there's no harm in it."

"Very well then. Thank you...Electra." He paused, the informal name feeling strange.
