I think I'm getting there, [Matoba cheerfully, and rather nonchalantly retorts. He's working the guy! Jeez, Kim, you gotta break them down slowly--]
[But he supposes that the other man ought to give a try to doing so, and so he watches with curiosity and interest as Kim endures the shopkeeper's ire. He was perhaps enjoying this a little too much... Could it be that he was actually a troublemaking type? When it suited his needs.]
[It said a lot about a person to see how they would handle a negotiation like this, and Kim's sound reasoning was certainly another way to go about it. A little respectful for Matoba's taste- there wasn't much reason to afford it, in his opinion- but results were results. He meets Kim's glance as the shopkeeper appeared to be grinding his teeth, muttering about bullying and humans that think they know better and how his toy shop has been in operation for over 2 thousand years, you upstarts- but against all odds, seemingly thinking it over.]
You'll be doing the work, right!? Since you know so much better! HMPH!
