Its a building from my world, and it had a lot more... weird name in retrospect. The A makes it easy to find even without context.

<Nobori>

[offtracks]

Ah, really? That must have been quite a large Mana purchase for someone.
Very well! I will see you there!

[And he will be lurking around the building at the appointed time! At least, it looks like lurking; he is a manticore dressed in black who perpetually looks dour. He's just chilling though!]

[Action]

[heyunderoos]

[Peter for his part appears from amongst the crowd, a little overwhelmed by the amount of people milling by on their day to day tasks. He really should just ask Mana for longer shapeshifting at this rate so he could avoid being lost in crowds at leg height.

He trots over, his backpack bouncing with his movement until he manages to stumble to a stop. He smiles up at the manticore.]

Hey, Ingo! [He adjusts the backpack straps vaguely.] Sorry if I kept you waiting.

[offtracks]

Not at all! I have been people-watching - it is interesting, though I do not do it often.

[Gives people the wrong idea sometimes, when you're a manticore.]

[heyunderoos]

[Given what Peter knows about Emmet, he can't blame Ingo for not doing it too often.] People watching can be really fun.

[He motions for the manticore to follow him up the steps of the building to the entrance.

The stairs leading to the main entrance and lobby seem to be full of humans, the two being the only monsters really present in the space right now.] I need to put my bag down to find what I made for you, so going inside would probably be a good idea.

[offtracks]

Of course!

[Human-only surroundings do make Ingo rather uncomfortable. He can feel their fear - their judgement. But it's near impossible to read that on his face; he just sticks close to Peter as they enter.]

[heyunderoos]

[Peter is aware to some regard of the discomfort two monsters bring to a mostly human area, but he mostly sets it aside.

The humans in the A Tower know who he is, so they nod or wave vaguely. Peter offers smiles in kind as he leads himself and Ingo towards a small table in the main lobby. He sets his backpack down.]

Lemme see. [He flips open his backpack to skim through what he has in there. His attention shifts down to his backpack.] I made a couple more than I intended, so you'd have some spares.

[offtracks]

That is very kind! You really must let me do something in trade, at least...is there anything you would like carved?

[heyunderoos]

I feel like even if I insisted its all good you'd probably try to carve something for me. [He jokes a little back as he shuffles through his bag. He finds the tissue paper wrapped bundle after a moment or more of searching.]

I didn't know you carved stuff though, that's really cool. I honestly dunno, like- what do you usually make?

[He pulls the bundle out, offering it to Ingo with a smile. Once unwrapped the manticore will find at least a few of his clan mon symbols in patch form within. Peter clearly made more than he really needed to.]

[offtracks]

Oh - well, I am only a hobbyist! I've mostly only made things for myself! Figures, for fun, or something useful and simple. Some basic cookware, that sort of thing.

[Ingo demurs as he accepts the little bundle. There's certainly more patches than they originally agreed on. Peter's correct; he's certainly got to do something in return!]

Ah, these are lovely!

[heyunderoos]

That's still cool though, I haven't carved anything before. It seems really fun, but you need a really good eye to make things look and feel right like that.

[Peter might have gone overboard with making patches, but, it helped him wind down at night, so it felt like a fair trade.]

Only carve me something if you want to, I mean, this is my hobby too.

[offtracks]

I suppose! I have had rather a lot of practice!

[Ingo nods, refolding the bundle and tucking it away into a pocket.]

Well, then, I would like to! Do you have any requests?

[heyunderoos]

I can't think quite like that, not without a lot of math on my part at least. I can build a computer or work off a drawn pattern for something.

[Peter has to think about it for a second.] Could I ask for an animal or would that be too much?

[offtracks]

That would not be too much at all! I often make such things - they are more intricate, but I enjoy the work!
