Distribution and Enticement (II)

Kieran struggled to contain his laughter as he looked at Hamon's hilarious expression. At the mention of a new toy, Hamon immediately lifted up his protective goggles and stared at Kieran, his eyes becoming the size of quail eggs.

"Well, it's not really shiny, but I'm sure it'll be incredibly valuable to you. If I'm not mistaken, it can elevate your forging prowess to a whole new level," Kieran said, creating an increased desire within Hamon.

"Kid! Ya don't think I know when someone is buttering me up, eh? I may be lacking in certain academic fields, but I am no fool!"

Kieran chuckled, noting Hamon's reaction with a subtle smile. "But it's working, isn't it?"
