[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.]

...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.]

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.
