So Ansel's suspicions had been correct; the man was a foreigner and the bear skin and chains only made it more obvious that the man was from the wildest parts no doubt. Seeing the extended hand, Ansel groaned inwardly, he wasn't a big fan of human contact. But thankfully the arrival of a customer had soared him the dreaded handshake and Ansel tossed an apron into Nikolas' hand instead as he began to head down the aisle to greet the customer.
Nikolas, make sure to remove the cape and chains. Wouldn't want to scare our customers now would we? And mind putting your hair up for today? We do have a health code. We are in a grocery store and around food.”
He turned around and headed down until he spotted a blonde male by the fruits and vegetables. The boy looked like he had been running, but what really caught the manager's eye was the coiled whip attached to his hip. A masochist perhaps? It wasn't everyday a dominating master came in to shop at his store. Then again they were human and needed to eat like everyone else. Ansel slowly approached him, more curious than anything.

Jaquinne sighed to himself, lifting the hand which rested on his whip, to grab an apple. He hadn't meant to bring the whip, he'd just been functioning on auto-pilot all day, and hadn't even noticed that he'd coiled the whip at his hip. He only carried the weapon around to protect Jewel and Jerome should they be in danger. A strange weapon of choice, but it worked for him nonetheless. The blonde jumped at the sound of another's voice nearby, obviously startled. He spun around to face the male, a bright smile still lighting up his features. "Oh, uhm.. I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be able to tell me which isle contains medical supplies?" Jaquinne spoke in his usual polite manner, his eyes memorizing every aspect of the male before him. His hair fell into his face a bit as he gripped the apple in his right hand. He felt a little out of place in this store, and since this was surprisingly his first visit to the establishment, he had yet to figure out where everything is. After today, however, he would most likely become a regular customer.
A pang of sadness shot over Nikolas' mind with the rejection of his handshake. His new friend was going to be a tough nut to crack, but Nikolas had time to learn what made him tick. The bear cape had to go and with a quick pull it was off. Nikolas placed it in an area that kept it out of the way. He checked underneath his chainmail shirt to see if he remembered to wear something underneath. Fortunately he had an undershirt on today. The chains came off just as easy as the cape, and wear placed in the same area. He threw on the apron, tied it in the back and got ready to do his job.
"I don't have anything to tie back my hair but everything else should be good!"

Ansel gave a charming smile to the cute blond before leading him to the medical supplies in the next isle beside the beauty & health. Without asking, the male reached up and grabbed a box of bandaids for the stranger before him and whisked them into his hand. Ansel very well in the man's space to where he could smell the dry blood and sweat on the male's boy.

Jaquinne's breathing evened out as he followed the store's manager to another section of the store. He was no longer out of breath by the time they reached a part of the isle containing medical supplies. He seemed amused by the male's perception as he accepted the band-aids with a small nod of thanks. He absently tested his left arm, knowing that he had only another day or two left before it would fully heal on its own. The cut on his cheek would heal up soon enough, he just needed the Band-Aid to cover it up until then. "Doll...?" Jaquinne seemed briefly confused when he heard the foreign word. His Omnilinguism had kicked in and translated for him. If he had to guess, he'd say that the word was of Spanish origin. "Thank you... I just need to find some pencils, toothpaste and coffee.. And then I think I should be done." He grabbed a bandage roll and kept his gaze on the attractive male who was unusually close to him.

Ansel took a step back, deciding to give the man space. Running a hand through his hair, he managed to brush some of the dark mess out of his face to reveal his dark violet eyes. With a simple motion of his hand, he pointed to the left. His once smile now a bored expression on his face.
"Take a left, isle 10 pencils and isle 11 for coffee. Toothpaste is just down this isle you are on now. Let me or Thor know if you need anymore assistance."
With that, the manager went back to the recently hired noob that appeared more than ready to work. Oh how Ansel LOVED working with new hires; what was not to love? Their loudness? The never ending eagerness to please? It was more than he deserved and felt the humble blessing should have been shared with other employees. If he had any.
"So...Nick. First thing, do you know how do use a register?"

Jaquinne remained silent, lifting an arched brow with minor curiosity as he took note of the male's succinct directions. The blonde glanced over at the employee, the one described as 'Thor'. There was indeed some resemblance to the fictional hero, mainly his hair. Jaquinne chose to take his time finding the necessary items, eventually giving up and grabbing a basket when he spontaneously decided to gather some ingredients to for his dinner that evening. He chose to take it slow so the store's seemingly new recruit could have enough time to learn most of what he had to do before dealing with a customer. Jaquinne dropped the packet of pencils, coffee and toothpaste into the basket, along with the bandages and Band-Aids. He then wondered around gathering the necessary ingredients to cook spring rolls, along with a traditional Greek salad. When he was finished, he made another stop to grab a bottle of water before heading over to the counter.

Nikolas had not been on the operating side of the register before. He understood how it worked but not truly why it worked. At the very least he understood the process of taking money and giving back change. He tried to remain calm and not get angry. He took a large inhale... Then a large exhale. This is what the first day of work was about after all, learning how to properly do the job. He did his best to keep a smile up while being so out of his element.
"I could use some help to make sure I understand."
Be grateful, Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real..
Ansel noticed the blonde man walk up to the counter with his basket of groceries and was ready to check out. This was a perfect opportunity for some hands on training for the newbie he knowingly dubbed as "Thor", without the employee's knowledge. Motioning him over to the register, he prepared to instruct the man on how to properly ring out groceries prior to collecting payment.
"First you have to ring out the groceries by scanning them with this scanner that looks like a gun. You simply scan each item and the price will automatically add up in the computer. Once you are done, the numbers will total up and the register will not open unless you are paying cash. With me so far.."?."
Ansel glanced back to the customer, giving him an apologetic look for the delay but thought it necessary for a teaching moment between him and his new employee. It was late and it would probably be a while before they had another customer.

Jaquinne gave the one described as 'Thor', an encouraging look as he waited for his groceries to be processed. It wasn't like anyone was waiting for him at home, so he was in no rush to leave. He listened to the ravenette from earlier as he spoke, attempting to explain the process to 'Thor'. The blonde stood tall, his posture almost perfect, as usual. He sensed that his cut was already beginning to heal, which was a bother. But he didn't think that the two men before him would notice anything amiss. They seemed focused on the task at hand, from what he could tell. While the manager was speaking, Jaquinne took the opportunity to silently take him in, observing him.

"Oh! That's it? I have never seen one of near these before!"
Nikolas is always marveled by how quickly technology evolves with the times. He must have been living outside society around that time if he missed something as useful as this! This job was going to be much easier than it was years before. The new boss looked young, so maybe he could help Nikolas with newer technology. Then maybe Nikolas could talk to him about the past! New friends were always exciting! He turned to the customer ready to do his job.
"Sorry for the delay, did you find everything you wanted friend?"

Ansel took the basket and one by one would ring up the items as he had explained to Nick. A beeping noise would sound each time an item was scanned. Once finished, Ansel would look at the customer with a slight smile this time, similar to the first time he had encountered him in the bandaid isle.
"That will be 8.65 sir."
Ansel looked over his shoulder to make sure that his new employee was watching. He didn't enjoy repeating himself and hoped Nikolas had been a quick learner.

Jaquinne blatantly stared at the store's manager, an unreadable expression on his usually jovial features. He only shifted his gaze when from the male when the new employee spoke. He smiled politely and nodded. "It's fine, and I did. Thank you." Friend...? He seemed confused at being addressed in such a manner since he and 'Thor' were strangers. But the term wasn't entirely unwelcome. It was just strange. The blonde returned his gaze to the ravenette, his eyes lighting up when he saw the other's smile. He dug out his wallet and pulled out a ten dollar note. Sure, he had enough change so he could have easily paid the exact price, but he thought it might be good for the store's employee to know what to do if he had to give someone change. Jaquinne was genuinely surprised at how cheap his purchase was, considering the amount he'd bought, but he didn't argue. Instead, he just kept his small smile in place.

This part was familiar to Nikolas. He quickly scanned the register for the button to open the cash drawer, but did not find it. At least he understood how the scan gun thing worked. If that was the only new part of the transaction that takes place then he would get back into the job easily. He gently took the bill from the customer, gave a small smile, and turned to his boss to ask a question.
Shiki really was a kid it seemed. She got so excited at the prospect of candy that it was pretty cute. "I give you my word; you can buy anything you like." He promised with a small laugh. Sahar had money saved up after all, a little splurging wouldn't be too bad. Besides, how much candy could one kid want? When Shiki turned down using his phone he shrugged and pocketed it. "Okay then, lead the way!" She couldn't be worse with directions than him, so he would trust her guidance.
And it seemed his trust was well placed because before long they were in front of the grocery store. "Well done!" He cheered her quietly as they entered the store, the half-breed only hesitating a moment to scan the aisle signs. "I need to get some drinks...Why don't you go pick out what you want then meet me there?" He suggested, already headed for the alcoholic drinks. Since the barbeque was being held early in the day they couldn't drink anything too heavy, but something light in alcohol content should be fine. Ideally, he was looking for a hard lemonade.
