Shopkeeper-san, are you folding paper cranes!?

An acquaintance of mine from the human village fell ill, so I'm folding a thousand paper cranes. A cultural practice wherein many paper cranes are strung together, oft done in prayer for recovery from illnesses or for success.

...With that reaction, do you perhaps not know how to fold them?

Erk...

Well then, shall we fold together?

It'd be a big help to have your assistance as well.

Pardon me a sec

Hey, your hands have stopped.
