With the coins now in her hand Pasayo have a polite bow of her head toward the man and the instructions he had given her, setting her own basket down and heading towards the direction of the payphone without the need to be lead. The stranger had been rather clear about what to do and Pasayo felt she had more than enough of any idea now for this to work, so she pushed her way to the front and was about to go outside when she noticed a phone not to far from her.
It was a store phone, not a payphone, and a man with a rather deep looking scowl sat behind the counter it was on as he stared Pasayo down. If she could simply use that phone things would be made much easier and she would not have to use the kind man's money, she could in fact return it to him with her gratitude, so she walked over and had a brief exchange with the sour looking man. He agreed to let her use the phone (not so much a grump as born with a face that way), and she thanked him with a smile as she started to dial the numbers. After a few moments a ringing sound overcame the dial tone, followed shortly by Houkan's heavily frazzled voice and the sound of glass breaking in the background.
"Ah? Master? This is -"
Crash, bang. Rown saying something and Piero yelling at her before she yelled back.
"The list, what items did -"
More banging, the sounds of more shattering glass. She thought she heard a smoke alarm going off as well, and she sighed to think what could the cause of all of this disorder. Whenever Rown came to visit they were certainly in no short supply of destruction. She knew that Master Piero was glad the house could repair itself, but...
"I see, then please give him my thanks and let Master know that I will be returning shortly. Band-aids? I will make sure to - yes, yes. I will return soon."
She hung up the phone with a heavy sigh, wondering about the mess that would great her when she actually made it back to the manor. Perhaps inviting the blue-haired man now would not be such a good idea, but then it would be even ruder of her to go back on her original plans. Slowly she made her way back to the aisle she had first met him on and looked around to see if he was still there. Her basket was, naturally, as well as the list in her mind of new things she must obtain.

Watching the pink-haired woman walk off, Tier was filled with a sense of accomplishment; he will have helped some one and it had been a long time since he had done that without any real ulterior motive. Granted, he wouldn't be speaking to her if she hadn't approached him, due to her appearance, but he quickly learned that it belied her.
He was curious as to what had actually been written on the list, so to pass the time he tried to speed up any other purchases he may have wanted, skimming through the closest few aisles and the frozen section at the back.
It didn't take long for her to return, though, and for a few moments he was missing but he soon meandered back into view, investigating the dairy products quite curiously. What little else he had picked up turned out to be easily prepared foods like yogurt and hot dogs, as well as some eggs and that bit of cleaning product he had pondered over while attempting to help Pasayo earlier.
Hearing some one's approach Tier glanced over his shoulder, as he did with everyone else he heard pass by, and turned around to face her, "Were you able to get in touch with them?" she didn't appear too reassured or with a newfound knowledge.

Pasayo nearly jumped out of her skin as the man once again approached her, but she smiled brightly and regained her composure as she turned to face him. As she made the simple motion it was like something was released from her body as a light puff, a simple measure that merely made a few people around her look over and turn their cheeks red. She was not aware she had done, of course, but Pasayo seemed to not know much about her growing body as it were.
"Ah, yes, thank you very much. I do need to return your coins to you as I was able to use a store phone, so if you would be so kind as to hold your hands out now I will give them back to you."
She curled the coins into her small hand and held the right one out and upwards, so the man before her could pluck them from her hand should he want or she could pour them into his palm, and she waited with a smile for him to decide what to do.
"Also, I was told what I needed. It originally was I needed to buy more shampoo, but it seems I will need to purchase some bactine as well as several bandages. There was a small accident at the Manor."

The puff, silent as it was, affected Tier just as much as the others who had been passing. Heat rose to his face almost immediately and his eyes once again found themselves wandering over her, noting every curve he could spot. The matter of her face markings wasn't even important any longer as that bit of magic she had accidentally released caused his meager infatuation to spring--quite literally. Thoughts were whizzing by, mental images, all distracting from the current conversation at hand.
It was almost as though she weren't saying anything at all.
As her hand outstretched, most of his thoughts were pushed aside and he was forced to realize that his cheeks now had a pink color to them. Defensively, he put a hand over his mouth, as though he were striking an intense listening posture while she continued on, explaining the situation to him. During it all, he held his hand out as she had asked and received the coins.
"There was a small accident at the manor."
Manor?
Now he was certain she was a maid. A very... provocative maid.
"Nothing too bad, is it?" it obviously was, if bandages were required, but now he was curious. Still, it was hard to hear him with that hand over his mouth. Realizing this, he parted two of his fingers and spoke again, "What's happened?" Too bad he couldn't bring himself to tell her of even a single thought that had crossed his mind earlier. Given the situation, it might have come off more insulting than sexy, anyway.

"Pardon? Nothing too major, please do not concern yourself. Mistress Rown has merely brought two new house guests into the home with her and they are not taking too well with Lune and Sol, it seems. Master Houkan is trying to keep the peace between the Master and the Mistress, but he says someone ended up breaking the glass to where Lune was being kept for his temper tantrum earlier and he is now wreaking havoc upon the Manor."
Pasayo's face turned slightly red, as if she had to feel the embarrassment for a situation at home she had no control over, and she smiled softly as her hand touched her cheek. She was quite unaware that the man before her and the people around her were all red in the face as well, though she seemed to be the cause of it
"I am starting to wonder now if the Master sent me out on errands now because he knew something like this would happen once everyone tried to get settled and learn their limits. Trouble always seems to accompany the Mistress."
She sighed now, her pink eyes cast down as if she were in worried thought, thought after a moment a startled look crossed her features and she quickly turned her gaze back towards the man's face.
"Oh, do pardon me for troubling you with all of this. I should not be stressing on someone so much when we have first met, let alone doing so when I do not even properly introduce myself."
The young woman took a few steps back and folded her hands into something of a curtsy, her form perfect.
"My name is Pasayo, it is a pleasure to be of your acquaintance."

Wow.
Wow.
That was a lot of information at once, and for some reason he still couldn't calm himself down adequately; enough to function, but there was still that light tickle in his stomach, the heat on his face. It was lucky for him they were close to a refrigerated area at this point and he took a few careful steps back as she spoke.
Hopefully that wouldn't be misconstrued.
"Oh, no, please. Don't worry about it," he was happy to help, of course, since she was such a pretty lady-- stop that right now. Mostly, it was in Tier's nature to be at least somewhat accommodating, it was proper manners to help people out when they needed it, but of course her being attractive (and unique) helped. There we go.
Oh, yeah. They hadn't introduced each other yet, had they?
Tier laughed under his breath, mostly at himself, and started to hold his hand out after depositing the list in his pocket but she had done something completely different. A bow? Curtsy. Quickly, Tier fumbled, looking around for any other shoppers that might think this display strange before righting himself. As elegantly as possible for him, Tier leaned down into a bow with a hand across his chest.
Pasayo? Strange... but easy to remember.
Oh how he wished he wouldn't be offending her with this.
"I'm Tier, and likewise," being formal was strange. He could barely even remember a time where he'd worn a suit, let alone bowed to a lady if not in jest.
"You'll be alright to go home?" Tier slowly pulled himself out of the bow and shoved his hand into the hoody pocket at his front. The question seemed innocent enough, but normally it wouldn't be. Hell, he wasn't even sure, himself, if he was trying to weasel a number out of her. Things were so weird today Tier could barely peg his emotions or thoughts.

Pasayo giggled slightly at Tier's bow towards her, the darkness of her cheeks only increasing as she blushed nervously. No one other than her Masters had ever bowed for her, not even Lune or Sol even while playing house when she was younger, so it was both flattering and...exhilarating.
"Yes, I shall be fine going home, I am sorry to worry you. Though. . ."
It seemed as though Pasayo were trying to think of something, perhaps a way to pay back Tier's kindness that he had shown towards her. It was always in her best interest to return things in full ( 'double payback' as Rown called it ), and although he could have refused to aid her from the very beginning, this man called Tier was incredibly kind.
"If it is not trouble to you, perhaps would you like to accompany me? I wish to properly repay you for all that you have done for me today, though if it is a bad time then shall we exchange numbers? I do wish to show my gratitude towards you."

A giggle in response was much better than anything he had hoped for and Tier couldn't help but smile, so relieved he was for not offending the pink haired young woman.
As he stood, her sentence trailed off and his mouth dropped open slightly with curiosity; something was going through that brain of hers, perhaps something that had dodged across his once or twice, slithering silently across his synapses whenever a conversation with a female lasted about this length. And then she said it. Numbers. Tier nodded, smile widening. Tonight wasn't the best time, he had groceries and things to unpack, and he still hadn't eaten since late yesterday--he felt a bubble of hunger swim around his belly--but numbers, well, that would do for any occasion.
"I don't think I can come with you tonight, though that's very kind of you, but numbers..." he nodded in approval and rolled his list up, setting it inside the basket and that on the ground between his ankles. A flash of silver, his cell phone was out and beeping quickly as his thumb pressed buttons with practiced ease to access his number.
Not many contacts in this one.
The blue haired man recited it and, in turn, buttoned down Pasayo's home line and gave it the appropriate labels. "There," he sighed pleasantly, flipping the small phone closed, "I'll give you a ring as soon as I'm free, alright, Pasayo? I'd like to see you again." The last part may have seemed a little forced but it was genuine; she was cute, interesting, and damn unique. Plus... well, enough attention had been brought to that part of her.
Giving her another awkward bow, more like a nod this time, he moved back into the aisles to carry out the rest of his shopping.
