Michael made a promise to himself next time be faster than her for paying for them both. He didn't know how she got money for herself, but however it was, he would feel better paying for her next time.
"Have your music tastes changed, too?" he asked Maya, glancing around for a music store. There were many shops in this area so he was sure they wouldn't have to look for too long.

"Eh, not really." Maya replied. "I like everything, but Rap." She said looking around for a music store. "Oooh." She sounded, seeing one and walking over to it.

"As always," Michael nodded. It was also comforting to know this was one aspect of her that hadn't changed - every change meant more efforts for him in re-adjusting, and he wanted to minimize that.
They walked into the music store, and he looked around, not sure where to start.

Maya grinned as she entered and started looking through the rock and alternative areas. Seeing a pair of headphones that let you listen to certain songs she put them on and gave Michael a small grin.

Michael followed Maya to the same place, as it fitted his music preferences as well. The same stand with CDs had another set of headphones, so he, too, put them on, studying the CD samples selected by the store and glancing at Maya every now and then.

With the headphones still on, Maya looked over the CDs. Picking up certain ones that interested her and looking at the songs listed on the back, glimpsing at Michael every other moment. A certain song filtered through her ears and she swayed a bit to the music, liking the beat of it.

Michael chose a song from one of the CDs, and as music filled his head, glanced at Maya again and just leaned against the stand lightly to watch her. She seemed to be in her element. Michael tilted his head slightly.

Maya kept moving to the song, not caring what people thought of her slight dancing. She then glanced up and found Michael watching her. She just grinned and struck a playful pose, before laughing.

Michael watched her some more, taking in her appearance and feeling affection rising up in him. He tried to suppress it - it was too strong for him to experience just yet. The time with her had gone relatively easy for him, unlike before and especially not like the tense last meeting they'd had. He hadn't had much time to analyze it yet, but he'd made it to the music store without any obstacles in his emotional state and now it was as if he tripped over something. He averted his glance for a few seconds, studying the CD racks around for distraction.

Maya could tell he was looking for a distraction and she slowly took the headphones off and looked throughout the CD rack in front of her. She didn't move over towards him, knowing it wouldn't be too good of an idea at the moment.

Michael took a breath, feeling emotions subside. He decided it would need some good thinking - to get a better overview of what was going on, but for now he just let it be, seeing no need in fixing on it. Looking back at Maya, he now saw her with the headphones off.
"Found anything interesting?" he asked, pulling his own partly off as well.

"A few bands." Maya nodded and then raised up a CD. "And look, new Coldplay CD." She said with a smile and her eyes looked him over to see if he was alright. "How about you? Find anything of interest?"

"Not really," Michael shrugged. "I wasn't looking. Do you want to buy something?"

Maya couldn't help, but smirk. "Yeah." She said and waved the Coldplay CD slightly.

"Good," Michael said with a small nod. He placed the headphones back onto the stall and, taking Maya by the hand, walked with her towards the cashier.
