The Magpie Emporium; Friday [11/10].
As he went about various cleaning and tidying tasks about the store, Graham kept uncovering jelly beans that had somehow gotten everywhere since his jelly bean party last week (he'd tasted a few of them, actually, to make sure, and they were definitely stale). It was a little surprising that Little Bot had somehow managed to miss them, but he thought up a good secondary solution that he knew was practically fool-proof. So he put up a "Be Back in 15 Minutes!" sign on the door very briefly, so he could run back to the dorms, and come tearing back to the shop mounted atop of Triumph, who set about rooting out the scattered jelly beans much like a pig might root out some truffles.
"Ooooh, truffles!" Graham said, and then got lost daydreaming a little bit on which he would like better, truffle jelly beans, or truffle jelly beans??
He should see about finding some of each so he could compare!
The Magpie Emporium is open!

"Hello Graham! Oh, and Triumph!" Belle called out when she entered the shop.

"Hello, Belle!" Graham said, looking very pleased to see her. "Are you here for games and/or adventure?"

"Right now," he added, "Triumph is on a quest to locate all the stale jelly beans leftover from last week, but I'm sure we can find something else if that doesn't suit your fancy."

So he tilted an almost sheepish smile her way as he lifted his hands in a shrug. "Make sure he doesn't accidentally eat and of the bouncing dice and give him words of encouragement,maybe? We wouldn't want to cramp his style too much, you know?
"Oh! You can tell me about the library dances yesterday! I read about them on the radio this morning!"
no subject
"I am always happy to encourage Triumph," she said. "He is such a fine steed, after all. And, oh, the dances were very entertaining to watch! What would you like to know?"

A few grateful grunts emerged from Triumph's snout under the shelf at Belle's kind words.
"What were they like?" Graham then asked eagerly. "Were they very complicated? Or kind of simple? Did you get a chance to learn any of them? Did you dance with any of them yourself? Can you show me? Do some gremlins have two left feet? What was the music like? Did you enjoy it? Think they'd ever come here and show me? Did they dress up? Does it involving biting? I bet it probably involved biting."
Well, Belle....you asked.
no subject
"There were multiple dances," she began. "And there was no biting that I saw but I am certain if I'd tried to interrupt there would have been! I could try and show you one that I enjoyed? I don't remember all of it but it went something like this."
Belle's footwork was hesitant but she had the clapping and most of the arm motions correct. She just needed more practice with this silly little dance.
no subject
"Like this?" he asked, and then attempted to recreate the steps as shown by Belle. He was close, maybe messing up the arms a little and definitely being off on the claps, but not too bad for his first try!
no subject
She went slower this time.
"Do you see?"
