It made for impeccable paper masterpieces of all shapes and sizes, though they were usually victim to Zeus's wrath once the brunette was done with them. Perhaps they'd fall victim to Daxton Prince today, instead.

"I have a book on this if you'd like to learn," She said after a while. She would've offered to teach him herself but, well, she didn't want to.

As it happened, Daxton Prince was already thinking of the various means of destruction he could inflict on the paper creation he now held between index finger and thumb. From carefully unfolding and deconstructing it to memorise (in reverse) the steps that were taken to create it, to crushing it under his hand or foot, to sending it right into a fire to see how it burned, and plenty in between.

He glanced up, the key words 'book' and 'learn' grabbing his attention at once. He did not know if it had been an offer, but it made Daxton suspicious nevertheless. If it was, he could not help but wonder exactly why she would offer something like that, oblivious as he was to all things potentially 'nice' or 'kind'. It seemed more likely to Daxton that the Cooper girl was flaunting something that she had that Daxton did not. He did not know if it was wise to assume either way, knowing that people could say the strangest things and then act like the obscure meanings were the most obvious thing in the world. There was no way Daxton could think to respond that did not risk making him look dim-witted (which he most certainly was not), and so he quickly averted his eyes again, looking back to the folded paper creature.

As far as he could tell, it had not been a question anyway, so perhaps responding was not necessary at all. Though if such a book did exist, Daxton wanted to get his hands on it. He felt a surge of annoyance, of more suspicion, as it occurred to him that the Cooper girl somehow knew that he did not know how to perceive or respond to the statement, and was simply mocking him. That had to be it.

Perhaps the fire would be the best place for the paper... thing. Even as he thought it, Daxton felt a tingling in his nose, a sign he knew only all too well. Covering his mouth and nose with his free hand, he managed to execute the sneeze almost silently, and immediately shot an accusatory glance in the direction of Cooper's Kneazle. They were both mocking him.
