Rosalind was not quite certain that the stern expression Alex was giving her was sincere, or if it was just in jest, and she thought it might be at least a bit playful, but she did not know Alex or Mercutio yet as well as they knew each other and decided to be on the safe side and nodded. After all, it was true that they were not likely to be hired if they misbehaved. Or, rather, by their general standards of behavior, if they did behave. It was misbehaving that was needed in order to look professional.
Rosalind brought her heels together and lifted her hand in a salute.

Mercutio went into a small flurry of movement, straightening his knees and bringing his heels together sharply, shaking out his clothing with short fussy gestures, running a hand over his hair to flatten it and then down his face. Then, arms at his side, he gave Alex a significant look as though to say, "Well? I'm ready."

Alex's expression broke into a broad grin, proving her former half-jesting. The expression, that is, had been in jest--the request, of course, was required if she was actually going to succeed in muscling the management into giving these ruffians jobs.
"This way, then," she said, striding off towards the office. Her legs were shorter than either of them, but she swaggered with the best.
