Mono hummed a little, kind of wanting to know how the man knew his way around so well… But not being entirely sure how to ask without it ‘blowing his cover’ (that had already been blown)…

But the carpentry shop was a place he knew pretty well by now, “Okay! Um… I’ll probably see you there. I sometimes deliver messages from there to customers who have stuff waiting to be picked up.” He explained, waving a little in that direction. Tommy didn’t have him delivering heavy stuff, but he was a pretty good message carrier. It was a good job for a kid who tended to run around the city anyway, and it meant he could afford things in a place where one had to pay for what they needed.

That Jake had already gotten a sense of how Mono reacted to being touched was a good thing. The child was still trying to get used to such things… and he’d had some awkward situations already.

At the goodbye, Mono realized that, like many adults, Jake had stuff to do. “Bye! I’ll remember, but I think I’ll see the cat around again sometime soon, anyway!” Because he intended to follow Jake around again sometime, as he tended to with everyone who caught his interest.
