[Chipp will go ahead and let Sonic lean in, do his observing - once he catches on that that's what the other's doing, he'll even lean in a little bit to match.
Like it'll make the smile that isn't there somehow more visible.

... But after a moment, he'll go ahead and reach up with both of his hands, purely so he can use his index fingers to push the corners of his mouth up into a "smile".
It looks incredibly goofy on him.]

Good luck gettin' used to this mess. Only one person here ever managed it, 'n... they ain't here no more.

Anyway, though... lemme pull it out for ya, then.

[His instrument, he means. It entails holding his hand out to the side, away from Sonic and away from the table - his palm faces upward, and after just a second, a little bit of violet-colored light starts to gather above it.
Only for that light to suddenly spread and take the form of...

A tombstone? A guitar? A banjo? A buzzsaw??
It's hard to say, just looking at it.

But once he's got it summoned, he'll go ahead and plunk it on the table between them. It... it definitely sounds heavy.
Looks heavy, too - like it's made of cast iron and steel.
The eye on its body blinks, looking up at Sonic.]

... This here's Spin Jockey. You free to touch it, try 'n lift it -
Just be a li'l careful. Li'l guy's a part o' me.
