Hmm.

[Turning it over in his arms, Matoba can't find any reason to disagree- indeed, the wood seems to be of good quality, the pieces are well shaped and sanded, and the joinings seem secure.]

[All in all- a good tool. And he does love a good tool.]

[Broca's threat- whether it's actually a threat or a put-upon resignation- gets his attention, though, and he finds that no, he doesn't want to give it back. Ah, but what to use it for? He hardly has much need for it in the small room he lives in, and it would just gather dust in his own, larger room...]

[His eyes draw upward in thought and catch on, as always, Broca's ears. And in that moment, inspiration strikes. He sets the stool down between them in the door's threshold, carefully lifts the hem of his kimono to step up onto it- no wobbles! -and then finds himself just slightly above-level with Broca's ears.]

[And helps himself to reaching out with both hands to stroke them. He looks very pleased with himself.] How useful! No, I believe I will keep it.

[broca]

[ He hadn't really considered how a man like Matoba might use a gift like this. He's not a particularly small man, so he doesn't have a ton that he needs help reaching, though he is at least shorter than Broca by a notable degree, though given Broca's height that isn't saying much.

Still...

Still.....

He probably should have seen this one coming.

At least he doesn't make any attempt to pull back from the touch, too used to it at this point, and not just from Matoba. It's bizarre how many people here have unusual fascinations with tails and furrier ears just because they don't happen to have their own.

At least the physical sensation of it is nice, even if he lets out the smallest sigh of exasperation while tilting down into the touch. ]

Are you pulling a trick anyway?

[ Feels like he's been tricked a little, having his own gifted treat used against him. ]

[worldbent]

Haha, do you think this a trick?

[Tossed back at Broca like he's questioning his logic here- after all, he's the one that enabled him! And to do something so nice for Broca, too! Hmph.]

[He's indulging himself, but he won't impose upon Broca for too long- standing in his doorway and all. After a few moments, he steps back down carefully from the stool, and takes it up in his arms again.]

Thank you for the gift, Broca-san. ...Ah, by the by, you're handing these out? [He curiously tries to peek into Broca's doorway.] Just how many things have you made...?

[broca]

[ He'll give Matoba a skeptical look at that question, but not a proper reply, unless a quiet grunt in response as Matoba steps down off of his new gift.

And in this particular case, Broca also doesn't raise much of a fuss about the attempt to look into his room. He'll even step to the side a half-shuffle so that Matoba can see the small pile of assorted finished products that Broca's been handing out. It's anything from simple wooden pieces, to metal gadgets that might be useful in a place that didn't provide most of what you needed as long as you were willing to have sex, and even some leather goods like wallets and belts. It's a decent little stash he's got going. ]

I didn't bother to take count. More than I need. I have a friend who is on one of the upper floors, and he lets me use one of his extra rooms as a workshop.

[ If anything, most of Fuuta's abode seems incredibly sparse, so Broca can more than afford to keep making things to fill up space in it if Fuuta lets him, or simply doesn't bother to wander into that particular room to see it's decorated by Broca's handicrafts. ]

[worldbent]

[Matoba's eye widens in surprise as he takes in the breadth of items Broca had on offer. Metal tools, leather goods- all of good make- piled up for free taking...]

[And Broca had just given him a stool!! Hmph.]

You made all of these? [He says with open surprise, taking it upon himself to pluck up a handsome wallet. He turns it over in his hands, feeling the workmanship.] Why, Broca-san. I did not know you were so talented in handicrafts.

Although I suppose you are good with your hands. [What if he just... Quietly... took a wallet...]
