[Wow at least call it her unique sense of taste gosh!! Anyways, she'll nod along when Kurapika mentions the furniture store plan, but one part of it makes her pause:]
...Wait, bribe? Don't you mean 'buy'?
[Bribe makes it sound like they're doing something sketchy...]
[Kurapika really living up to his mafia reputation huh...]
Hmm, I suppose... I'd rather not get one of the employees in trouble if we can avoid it, though. How about we try to go to a smaller store and see if we can negotiate with the owner first?
['Negotiate' possibly takes on a more ominous tone here because she has a pair of guns on her, but no, she just means bartering.]
[Thankfully she has a high threshold for these things!! It's not like she hasn't done some stuff that would count as being in a legal gray area either, but bribing furniture store workers seems like overkill in this scenario.
Anyways, since Kurapika's agreed to negotiate, she's not going to harp on the matter. Commissioning a board though... now there's a thought.]
Well, I wouldn't be opposed to that! I'm usually busy with work, so I've never really gotten into do-it-yourself projects... This would be a first for me.
[wow if they gotta intimidate anyone she'll let him take care of it then
But hey, he has a valid point. At the least, this whole 'being in another world' thing has been a good chance to do stuff she normally wouldn't, so she's on board.]
Experience, huh... Sure! I'll be counting on you for any pointers, then.
[At least she has enthusiasm in spades, if nothing else.]

[Over to the nightstand she goes to retrieve them, holstering the guns as she walks out of the room.]
Okay, where to? I'll admit, I've been more focused on restaurants and cafés, so I'm not too familiar with where we can find wood.
[Although the stationery she can handle, at least!]

There are some furniture stores around town that I'm sure would be willing to part with a few planks if we ask nicely enough. [ ... ] Or bribe them.

[ Sometimes you leave the mafia but it doesn't leave you. ]
Though we could still bribe them if it's not for sale.

...Fine. We'll try negotiation first. We can even check around multiple places in case they're selling planks outright.

How good are you with handiwork? It might be a good idea to commission a bulletin board if neither of us are capable of putting the pieces together.

[Not that she's opposed to trying, either way.]
no subject
Hmm. Then why don't we actually make it? I used to do a bit of handiwork when I was living on my own, and you could get some experience for yourself.
[ Being on your own at 12 means you have to do things yourself, unfortunately. ]

What sorts of things have you made before?
no subject
Mostly repairing things like busted windows or broken toilets. Nothing particularly elaborate.
[ After all, you make do in those sorts of situations. ]
I've done a lot of camping related building as well, but that's different.
