[Branch was curious about the scissors and fabric. He would've wondered if he was scrapbooking if not for the mannequin.]
[(Do humans scrapbook as much as his people?)]
[Branch almost reflexively says no, because he's still used to handling a lot of things himself. Back home he spins his own wool, weaves, sews. Even now that he's back contact with the village. He still values being largely self-sufficient.]
[But he's not really in a position to say no here. He's needed new clothes, warmer than the ones he came in and at best he'd had ill fitting ones, or had to cut little dolls sweaters into cardigans with unhemmed plackets.]
[And he hasn't forgotten that day Dan and Stacia talked him down. It feels safe to ask favors of him.]
Do you think you could hem some things? Maybe do some buttons and button holes? I know how to sew and knit and weave and all that, but I don't have tools my size to work with.
