[ Done, she wants to say, but then her fingers slip across something hard and sharp, metallic. She smiles and pulls it up. It's covered in a plastic wrapping still, a make-shift protective casing she stole from some other thingamabob, she can't remember which. Straightening up, she lays it on the counter, not too far away from the small pile of ear studs Alexa's chosen. She notes somewhat distantly that they all look a bit cheap and wonders what something highly simple, yet highly expensive would look like in one of Alexa's many ear piercings. Well, not that it's any of her business. She just wonders. Harmless, okay? Harmless. ]
