[As a general rule, Chiron tries not to linger in the kitchen for too long. He is rather Large and all, and conscientious to a fault, doesn't want discussions of his cleanliness brought up in conversation, either (of which he is very clean, thank you).
He's never had much chance to speak to the young lady who is already in here, however, so he'll pause at the entrance before nodding in greeting, a slight smile on his face]
Hello, I don't think we've been formally acquainted.
[he'll find her a bit. . . out of it, so to speak? her gaze is distant as she stares off into nothing, a pot of herbal tea simmering on the stove. but his voice tears her out of whatever stupor she was in, and with a snap of one's fingers, she is back on Earth]
-- oh, good afternoon, sir.
[a polite curtsy!]
You're correct; I don't think we've had the chance to meet personally.
[she's met some people with curious names, but that's probably the most curious one she's heard yet. second only to "Ruler" for Jeanne, who at least allows Sharon to call her by the name "Jeanne."]
Very well. You may call me Sharon. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Master Archer.
Heehee, it's not as easy for a maid such as myself to drop the formalities as some may think. But I can default to "Mister Archer" instead, if you'd like.

Then allow me to officially introduce myself; my name is Archer for the time being.

It has been a very, very long time since someone has placed that title before any name he's given]
The formalities are unnecessary, but I thank you nonetheless. I am but a simple teacher.

[Sharon is HER name!! hers!!]
So it seems we've managed to come to a consensus.

[The Polite Fight has come to an end]
Though I hope I was not interrupting you at all.
no subject
You aren't. In fact, you arrived at a good time. Would you like to share this tea with me?
no subject
Of course. I happen to be a lover of good tea.
[Though since he can not fit at a table, he'll just seat himself next to one]
What kind have you made?
no subject
Chamomile. It calms the nerves, and I believe we could all use that now, don't you think?
[she will pour him two cups of tea!!]
no subject
[smiling at her while she works]
You seem very familiar around a kitchen...
no subject
[once the tea is poured, she offers him a cup with a tiny smile]
no subject
[Mmm well, he will take the cup. Chiron was not joking about enjoying tea, and he hums in gratitude during the first sip]
Does that mean you have a family you provide services to back home?
no subject
[she has poured a cup for herself too, so she will politely sip at it while she. . . stands by the stove because it seems RUDE to sit when he can't??]
I've been the Reinford family maid for approximately nine years now.
no subject
He watches this with an amused glint in his eye, though he doesn't insist she must sit. Sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow.]
If you've been with them for so long, I can only assume they must be treating you well.
[Or paying her well. He won't judge either way]
no subject
They are. And they have my complete and utter loyalty.
[she bows her head slightly, fondness in her smile]
Though I'm afraid I may bore you if you allow me to talk about them for too long. ♥

[she gives him a curious once-over, her smile hidden by her tea]
I must admit, I have never seen anyone like you back home. I'm a bit curious about your lifestyle as well.

[professor, teacher, you know how it goes]
What was your area of expertise?
no subject
Many things: specifically hand-to-hand combat, archery, mathematics, medicine, music, and a few others things.
