He nodded, and reached claws to take the little statuette solemnly.

After a moment's focus, the magic took. The little Jinyi began to emit a soft chiming, a tinkling sort of musical sound. It did almost resemble the drone's voice, and it was a pretty, soothing noise.

Ember grinned, delightedly. Then--immediately anxious and hopeful both--looked to Jinyi. He held the figurine up. "-Is that okay?" he asked, hoping that it didn't somehow... offend, or something. He'd never created anything like this before, after all.

Ember grinned, even laughed a little. It was almost relief, too. After the awkward start to conversation, it was nice to have made a new friend.

"Great," he echoed, but it was satisfaction at Jinyi's approval than a comment on the actual results. "So--you get it, now? You got what you came for?" Ember sounded hopeful. And then, polite: "Can I offer anything else? I mean, you can stay, you don't need to rush off or anything. But if you wanted to learn anything about forging, or just hang out. Now, or later. It's been nice," he said, testing the word out. Was 'nice' enough? He shook his head, dismissing his own fumbling of his attempt at friendliness. "I mean, you're welcome here any time." He almost asked where Jinyi lived, too. He wouldn't mind visiting, some time. But it seemed... rude? A little presumptuous, at least, to just kind of invite himself for a visit.
