Takes a lot of practice if you don't got a natural talent for it. [ He's going to casually lean on the workbench as she carves, taking out his own kitchen knife cept he's not flipping it this time. Instead, he's tracing the edge of the blade, somehow managing to not cut himself. ]

Didn't I tell you I know a lot, icepop?

[ He does flip the knife causally before going back to tracing the blade. ]

[ He's silent for a few moments, which is probably more unnerving than anything else. ]

Hope you're a fast learner. [ He's not going to ruin his own kitchen knife for this, so he grabs one of the tools here and a small block of wood. Let's see... general shaping is first, and it's clear his movements are practiced. ]

Or better than Hazama. How you hold it matters, just like the way you cut someone matters.

Tilt your wrist more. Doesn't need to be a lot, little goes a long way.

[ If he thought about it, this is almost nostalgic. Good thing he's not! ]

Better. What are you gonna make?

...a pony.

[ He should have known, judging!!!! ]

Cant fucking help you there.

And horses are your favorite animal?

They're so overdone.

[ Snakes are so much better? He waves his hand. ]

Heh, here.

[ So is she going to let him show her by guiding because he's willing to do just that? If he does, his touch is actually surprisingly kinda gentle? It's not the first time he's taught someone to do things, and it shows. ]
