User Image Tink gave his bed a curious look before he started jumping up and down on it, sending several dolls and stuffed toys flying. He hoped a few more times with a rather series expression on his face before stopping iwht a little bounce. "Hmm..Nope!"

He kicked off a few more of his toys off the bed and started jumping in a new spot before quickly stopping with a resounding 'Nope!' and throwing his pillow off it's spot to start jumping there. Letting out a frustrated shout, he let himself fall on his side on his last hop, falling to the bed like one of the few rag dolls still on the bed, limp and limbs all about. ".....This bed is enterily not proper for jumping on it....I wonder if mama's is."

With a little wild grin, he slid off the bed and just lay there, looking at everything upside down before rolling to his hooves and getting up. He started to walk across the toy-riddled floor.

Dainty Delta turned the corner into her son's room just as he started toward the threshold. She let out a little 'oh!' of surprise and scooted sideways, then looked around his room with just the tiniest bit of dissatisfaction in her eyes. She encouraged all her children to follow their passions, but lately Tink's passion had started taking over.

"Hi, sweetie, what are you doing?" Delta asked, floating up a few of the toys in the colt's direct path. "I don't suppose you're, ah, tidying up?"

Purple eyes narrow slightly at the toys impending his 'research', before finally looking up at his mother as if he just notice she was there. "Oh, hi mama."

His head cocked to one side, he turned to look at his room. Dolls, building toys, puzzles of all matters and pieces of toys were all around. "Um...........I suppose the answer here is one you would like to hear rather one I actually want to do?"

Delta paused as she continued to float multiple toys toward Tink's toy chest, but it didn't take more than just opening the chest to realize how futile an attempt cleaning was going to be. It was like Tink's collection set out spores and multiplied! She had no idea where it all came from.

"Well, you don't have to do anything, of course..." she began. "But, oh, gosh, where did this all come from? I know your mama and I haven't bought you this many..."

Tink just hummed while his mother talked, raising one hoof next to her leg for a moment. Where they the same shade? Colors had a tendency to be just colors to him. Matching and so on was important on toys, but more often then not, a lot of colors would be buff, faded, scratched or otherwise fall off said toys. You know, if they were played with.

Perhaps he'll ask his sister Bebe, she could tell the difference between shades of white, she surely could tell if his mother's green was the same shade as his. He blinked again, his eyes coming to focus at his mother's words. "Oh, I made them!" He chirped proudly.

One could practically see the wheels turning in Delta's head. She lifted a dainty hoof to Tink's, tapping him fondly as he shifted his attention to the similarities in their colors. She tilted her head slightly and looked around the room.

"You know," she said. "I'm very proud of the work you do. These toys are all lovely. But, oh, well... I have to ask you, Tink, do you play with all of them? I mean, really? Equally? How about the ones in your chest, or all over that bookcase?"

Tinker gave a very slow blink at his mother, adults so very rarely say things without double meanings. Or perhaps that was just in the plays his uncle continue giving him to read. He looked at all his toys, each lovingly made, stitched or glue or nailed, or otherwise put together(and what a surprisingly broken window C.C. gotten the first day he got into the tool shed).

But did he played with all of them, equally? The answer was a resounding no. Puzzles lay back in their boxes, all made up and forgotten once resolved. Lacy dressed dolls waiting in a tea party that he forgotten as he went off to make them a hatter and Alice. And he was sure there was still some horrid mid-experiment lab scenario hiding under his bed, waiting for a fabulous conclusion, if he hadn't gotten distracted by the lure of playing outside when the sun came out in that one rainy day.

While he played with all his toys, he had his favorites, like the rubix cube whose colors were fading from one too many uses. Or John-the-action-figure-not-a-doll, the first toy he made and who had surprisingly stayed on the bed, regardless of how much he jumped on it. Or the many building toys that were hiding in their respective chests and boxes, waiting for the next big city to be built.

"...No, not equally" He managed to hiss out between his teeth. "...But they are many, that's a task even I cannot master. At least not without a large pint of peach ice cream..." He grinned and waggled an eyebrow.

Delta watched Tink with soft eyes, blinking down at him daintily as she waited for a response. It was pure politeness that made her wait, combined with a motherly intent to teach. She already knew the answer. Tink was more interested in the making of toys than the playing part, from what she could tell, and if something wasn't done soon, his entire room would be overtaken. It would be like a ball pit. Of toys.

"Tink... what would you think about maybe giving some of your less-loved creation to someone who could play with them wholeheartedly? You've got your first-string favorites, and your second-string, and a third and fourth and fifth and so on! Goodness, you could get to a hundred here!" Delta exclaimed with a little laugh, shaking her head. "I think maybe there's somephony else who would really appreciate these toys and play with them even more."

Frowning, Tinker clicked one of his hooves on the ground slightly, showing some of his irritation. He often made toys for his friends, and his sisters, and even the odd adult. Why did he had give away the rest? They were his creations, no one asked artists to-...well actually, they do, at an alarming and selfish rate, if he was honest with himself. He had been guilty of it quiet a few times.

He snorted, turning his nose up at his mother's words. He wouldn't be taken for a fool, why should he-...when did he run out of space in his ceiling for the model planes? Didn't he used to have a solar system? He thought he could barely see pluto behind a large jet's sprayed wings.... His ear twisted, hundreth-string favorite....He looked around his own room with slightly wide eyes, as if finally seeing just how clutter and nearly-claustrophobically small his room was starting to get. "....but they are my toys..."

Well, it wasn't going over too well, but then again, Delta hadn't particularly expected it to. She watched as Tink took in his room, and a dawning realization was taking place behind his eyes -- wanted or unwanted.

"You're going to make more toys, Tink. That much is certain. You can either let the old ones stack on top of one another until they get crushed, or you can give them to phonies who don't have any and would enjoy them." She nudged him slightly. "Don't you want to see other phonies enjoying your creations? Or see your toys getting played with?"

Aaaaand his mother hit the nail on the head, quiet hard. If there was one pet peeve Tinker had that he could absolutely not stand was seeing toys being left in boxes or glass cases, to be admire but not played with. He understood having a beloved toy as a foal and keeping it in a shelf, or a night stand when one grew up. Adults often did that, and they had their childish moments of playing with them, even if it was just to have pretend conversation with them. He had seen a few adults at this, one of them being his 'aunt' Barley.

He snorted at the nudge, looking at the piles upon piles of toys. His mother was right, as much as it pained him to admit it. He would keep making toys, it was the funnest thing he had ever done, and he really couldn't think of anything stopping him from continuing, but perhaps lack of space. "...........and where would I donate them? I can hardly go door to door, giving baskets of toys. Many think me strange already, I hardly wish to be called a toy fairy.."

Delta tapped her chin thoughtfully. Inwardly, she was pleased with Tink -- he'd made the decision of his own volition to be generous, and it was appreciated. Whether one dragged their feet to do charity or sprinted, they got there in the end, didn't they? That was the important thing.

"There's schools and daycares that would love to take them," she said thoughtfully. "If you want, I could call them up and see when we could drop them off. We could also donate them to a hospital, if you'd prefer that."

Tinker shifted from one side to the other, surveying the floor's treasures of toys. "......I believe I can afford making some donation to each and every one of those establishments right now..." He smiled a little to his mother, the task of taking care of not donating any of his absolute favorites, or toys that were obviously never meant to see the light of day, would be annoying, but at least he would have room to walk again, and who knows, maybe make some foals happy in the process. "...and I think I will."
