Patchwork turns to look at Budoshi as he confirms the hypothesis presented. He then looks at the Elder as well as if seeking a second confirmation. His face barely shifts in expression, but given the movement of his oculars rapidly left and right it is clear that he is processing a lot of information.
"I feel as though I require time to properly process these teachings." He finally admits. "Furthermore I should probably check in with Juniper regardless." That second note is more quiet, though still audible.
He gives a rigid bow to both Elder Kurumi and Budoshi, holding the pose for a respectful few seconds each. "I am...grateful for the knowledge you have both imparted on me today. I hope I may train under you again soon Elder Kurumi." He remarks to the old man, before once again turning back to Budoshi.
"And I hope that we can meet again sometime in the near future. We can exchange training tips. And perhaps even spar properly." He suggests, his computerised mind already calculating the best possible strategies for counter-acting Budoshi's shorter stature and potentially greater combat knowledge. It would likely run in the background for the whole rest of the day.
Without another word he would depart, walking carefully back out of the temple, being sure not to disturb anyone as he did so.

Mister Steel: Chomei's estate is vast, and marriage into the family can only benefit Marimba with access to cattle, pasture land, and much grain to feed his armies.
