Kagayaki perked up at the idea of making something, a builder and inventor, she was always ready to try to build something new. She wondered what it would be, Kota used close-quarters Taijutusu and armor technique, so it most likely wasn't a weapon or armor for him.

"Oh! Let's see." She took the paper and unfolded it, curiosity almost at its peak. She blinked at the paper once she was done opening it. She turned the paper every which way, trying to find a position that made sense of what he was showing her - to no luck, she could understand.

"Uhm.." She looked up from it towards the beaming Kota, "What's this supposed to be?" She asked, meaning no offense and all her tone revealed was complete and utter confusion.

*Kota wasn't offended, just confused; the "Blueprint" Seemed perfectly legible to him. Maybe his drawing was just too advanced?* "It's armor - for Kodamaru. He needs some sorta protection since ninken can't use Armor Technique. Somethin' sturdy around his body, but lightweight enough to keep him movin' at full speed. Like those suits of armor the samurai wear!" *Kota explained, enthusiastically.*

*With this new context and some heavy squinting, Kagayaki would be able to make out a head, tail, and legs of a ninken wearing some sort of o-yoroi inspired armor.*

"That's a good idea!" She perked up as he explained, a smile coming across her face at the idea. Kodamaru had been pretty badly hurt on their last mission, so she'd do anything she could to help the little guy. Her smile disappeared as she looked down at the drawing. Knowing what it was helped, but... "You gotta work on your drawing skills dude." She said flatly, once again no offense was intended, it was just her purest opinion.

She inspected the drawing, "This is tail.." She muttered and pointed at it, "Or his face?" She tilted her head, slightly confused, "The T is probably the shoulders..." The cogs of her brain were spinning at max speed, so much so Kota could almost hear them.

"Alright, I can do this. I think." She declared, once again turning the drawing in her hands with one last confused look. "My neighbor should be done with his forge by now, let's head over there and get started." As hyper as ever, once she had an idea, she wouldn't back down any time soon.

*Kota tilted his head to the side in confusion as Kagayaki commented on his artistic abilities.* "Really? Makes sense to me, but I'll work on it!" *He admitted, taking the criticism obliviously well. Seeing her confusion, he leaned over the paper to further explain as he pointed at the potato at the top of the T.* "That's his head, and those're the shoulder plates." *He explained. From how close he was he could smell the faint smell of smoke - perhaps from a nearby store, or from Kagayaki's brain overheating trying to interpret his drawing.*

*Kota beamed when Kagayaki accepted the order and invited him to the forge. He scooped up the boxes that her Shadow Clone had and nodded.* "Thanks! Lead the way!"

"Just follow me! Let's get you some armor shall we buddy?" She rubbed Kodamaru one last time before she grabbed her own set of boxes, thanking Kota as she got up and started leading him back to her neighborhood. They would walk until they reached a poorer part of town.

Kagayaki lead him towards a large weapon shop, with several shinobi tools hanging at the door. She ignored the main entrance of the building and motioned for him to follow her as she walked around it and towards the backyard. Its floor was tiled with stone, and soon a smaller, open building came into view.

Inside was a forge and the many tools needed to operate it. A large bulky man was cleaning his sweat nearby and seemed to notice them, "Kagayaki-chan, just in time, I just finished using it." He grinned at the little girl, who grinned back, "Ferr-san, thanks, I'll be borrowing it again so let me know when you need help with anything." She waved at him, and he gave Kota a nod before entering the other building.

She set the boxes down and opened one right away, removing several pieces of thin wood. The speed of her hands and her overall jitterness clearly indicated she was excited to start working. The owner of the forge had probably noticed as well, which would explain why he left without saying much else. "We should probably start by making a small mock-up and seeing if it's what you want?" She offered, holding the pieces of wood in her hand and turning towards Kota.
