Shun wouldn't say it was solely Gaara's responsibility to gather the supplies, but he wouldn't oppose the assistance. The Blacksmith only required final payment, honestly, for the work that it would, likely, require. Still, the finality of the mage's voice earned a soft smile. If he was sure...
"Very well. I will make it as soon as I receive the materials. I won't accept payment until the item is finished, however. That is to ensure that, should anything go wrong, I won't find myself more indebted to you."
More, considering the hard work that would come with gathering those materials. His words were blunt, but the truth. The future was never guaranteed, as he'd learned just before leaving Kamisu 66; a harsh, eye-opening experience, to say the very least. After a short pause, the once-TK user's head tipped to the side.

Michiko nodded, with just a small air of hesitance. Her voice was quiet as she spoke, "Yes, kupo. I think so, anyway. Whenever other humans aren't looking, his expression...changes. I'm hoping he'll tell me what's wrong, so I can fix it, soon..."
She blinked at the poke to her cheeks, but only out of surprise. After a short pause, however, she found herself giggling at Karura's cheeks puffing out. One paw reached out to mimic the other female moogle's earlier action, giving a gentle poke, "Hehe! You look really cute, kupo!"
