[He looks from Gintoki to the drone and back. Not that he hasn't already been planning to make more, as well as have some sources for things, buuuuut on the individual level? Hmm.]
Not sure yet. I'd need to figure out materials, labor... an equivalent to what I make back home...
[ Maybe his mind trick would work on Robotnik.. but that sounds a bit mean. He shouldn't haggle over the price even though he always does. It's an interesting thought.. after all, Robotnik is apparently really smart. Maybe it wouldn't be effective at all. ]
You're not wrong. I never had one though. Instead, we just had a full blown robot that would force us to pay rent. She was cute, though.
[ He's very fond of Tama even if she started off as a weapon robot. ]
I have no doubt the shogun used Alexa. [ Wait. Robots? Alexa? Shogun? What time period is he even from? ]
Who does he have to hide from other than himself, right? [ He can poke fun at the shogun. Maybe. He respected him more than anything else in the end. ]
[ Tragically enough, the shogun that he knows of was assassinated and Robotnik is right. In his crazy world, there was a lot shady stuff going on with his government. And aliens. Aliens and government. But also in the 1800's. A lot is happening.
Gintoki meant his now deceased leader would have no need for one if they were used as spying tools. Maybe they aren't, or maybe just the citizens of Edo didn't really take to the Alexa craze. He'll never know. ]
I'm sure if Tama ever arrived here you could ask her questions about being a robot. For some reason, I think you might like that. Forming a friendship with a robot that isn't one of your own. She's very knowledgeable.
...
And dangerous.

[ GINTOKI. ]
I mean, if they aren't kinky toys or Roombas, that's the next viable option.

[The exasperation continues, and he waves his free hand around.]
Of course they can be used for assassination. But to act like that's the only thing is ridiculous! They can do so much more. So much!

Unless you've got a hell of a barter system, I sincerely doubt you have any reason that's convincing enough.
[He's really not worried about him using his little mind trick, afterall.]

Especially the Janet Jackson sex doll.
[ WHY IS THIS BEING BROUGHT UP AGAIN. ]
You really make the Alexa look like a sham.
[ Alexa should be an assassination tool, but what is life. ]
(no subject)
There is no Janet Jackson sex doll! There never will be! None of my products have any reason to look that humanoid!
[Ahem. He shakes his head, sips his drink, still looks annoyed.]
The most exciting thing about the Alexa is the fact that people willingly let a surveillance device into their home without much effort.

[He rubs his chin, clearly thinking about it.
Buuut either way, whatever the hell is going on in Gintoki's timeline seems like a giant, excessive mess.]
I'm sure there's plenty for a shogun to hide from, [he says with the shrug of a shoulder, tapping the table.] But I've never met one.

[He knows how robots work. Sure, he's not actually a robot himself (yet) but he's well aware of the concepts of robotics and everything like that.
That's his thing.
Also sometimes he pretends to be a robot and makes robot noises because he CAN okay??]
But, eh, might be interesting enough. You'll have to introduce me if she turns up.
[It very well could be an interesting conversation if nothing else.]
