If you build it

Kuroo's ears perked at the mention of anything else that might suit their fancy. A thought came to mind that made his own tail wag across the dirt. "Actually, yes. If this trader of yours has any spices, from Iga or any that would be good for fish, I would appreciate that more than Sake," his smile curled higher. Man, what he would give to have a taste of home. Just one little pinch to help ease the ache in his heart. Feeling hopeful, Kuroo starts to wonder if he and his brother will actually enjoy the man's company once he returns. He appeared kind enough and rather intelligent, something about the man reminded him of himself.

Even as the larger dire paced around the clearing to dictate multiple rooms for the structure, Kuroo's head tilted. This wolf really reminds me of myself, but this is definitely more than a hut. His eyes narrowed slightly and began to wonder if Hattori had a secret reason behind all of this. Possibly behind that mysterious and stony facade, there was more mischief that the brothers hadn't expected. Or their Kaicho didn't really care and wanted the whole ordeal to be over with. So, was this their father? This man with his splotchy coat and nubbed tail who was smooth as silk and personable? The question itched at the back of his tongue when the dire turned to ask if they had anything else to say.

"Well, I wouldn't really call this a hut, but with two weeks, it shouldn't be a problem," Kuroo mentioned as he glanced around the roughly drawn-out lines of where the rooms would lie. Unglueing himself from Usagi's side to get closer to the blueprints on the ground between them, he looked at them with a nod. If he and Usagi could make that net out in the harbor, this shouldn't be more challenging. Looking back up to the charming wolf, Kuroo smiled. "Kaicho must really like you to willingly give you all this space," he spoke with uncertainty. It wasn't jealousy, he was happy to share quarters with his brother. The warmth and comfort they provided for each other were more than enough. Should he ask? They didn't even know his name. Why was that not something Hattori had mentioned prior to giving them instructions? Was it meant to be a secret? He itched to ask, but the anticipation of possibilities made his stomach churn.

Smiling up at the dire man, he came to his decision. "Nope, no questions at all sir. Leave it to us and you shall return to a beautiful home," his tail wagged a few more times as he returned to Usagi's side. "If we have questions while you're away, I'm sure Sedna-san will be able to answer," Kuroo confirmed his own statement with a nod. Maybe it was best he left his undying wonders for later. No sense in ruining the wonderful birth of the man's pups with news that none of them might enjoy.
