[ kedou offers crys a mint green marker the moment it's set down with it. ]
Jianzhi. It's paper cutting, although I have not done it in quite some time, so I fear it's more practice than productive work at the moment. I'm trying to remember how best to do it, considering the mistakes cannot be taken back.
[ kedou doesn't seem to mind, and instead claps its little mitts together before resuming its own coloring. ]
Jianzhi. [ nodding. but he'll grab another pair of scissors, offering them to her by the handles. ] Of course. The best method I've found, for symmetrical work, is folding a square piece of paper in half, and then folding that in half to create a triangle. You may then begin cutting a pattern that will reveal itself once you unfold the paper completely.
Mmm... it depends. You may plan ahead, if you like, but sometimes it's nice to have a little surprise, just following your heart on what you feel is right.
[ what cuts create what shapes, whatever might be more subtle or more blatant. ]
I think, for practice, and first tries, just following your heart is well worth it.

Jianzhi...? Practice is still productive. [Adding skill points into the tree, so to speak.]
Can I try it with you?

Do you already know what you want it to look like when you cut it? Or is it more of a surprise?
