004 [Location: Tamper and Trick]
There hasn't been a whole lot to do in Taxon for Andrew lately, though he is recently rather paranoid about Buffy's prophecy of explosions and evil scientists. It seems that Tamper and Trick is fairly safe of these things, however, and Andrew has to be here to work anyway.
Besides being here for the safety, Tara is supposed to train Andrew a little further in working at the store, which is rather exciting for him. He's never had a job before and though he's been doing very minor things here when he can, he hasn't been able to do much, considering he doesn't know how to handle most of the items in the store.
Despite this very important fact, while he waits for someone to show up, Tara or otherwise, Andrew picks up a bottle of deep red something that he can't quite identify. He was never very good with the magical items. His specialty was demons and knowledge surrounding them. This magical item crap was all Jonathan, who was too stubborn to explain any of it, thought that probably also had to do with the fact that Andrew never learned how to ask nicely.
It crosses his mind all the things that the red something could do to a person. It could be like the drink in Alice in Wonderland that makes Alice grow ten times her size. Or was it that she shrunk? He wonders what would happen if a termite chewed through the cork in the bottle and fell into the something. Would it shrink to a tenth it's size? And then another tenth of that size because it's stuck in the something? And then continue shrinking forever without ever stopping?
Scared silly by his own aimless thinking, Andrew gingerly sets the bottle back on the shelf and worries at his hands as he watches the door hopeful for someone to arrive.

So when Tony enters the shop, Andrew is busy clumsily wiping down a shelf with a towel over and over. It's probably clean by this point, but he doesn't know what else to do when he's in here alone.
But alas, a customer! Maybe. Probably another of Tara's friends looking for her, but at least it's someone to occupy Andrew. He sets the towel on the shelf he was cleaning and approaches the man, wiping his hands on the front of his jeans nervously. "Uhm, is there anything I can help--help you with? Uh, sir?"
