"You may ask, but I'm not sure I can articulate the answer."
He gave a shrug of his own.
"I just like it. Seeing a new place- well, new to me, I'm not going to pretend a given mountain hasn't been there for a very long time- just... satisfies me in some way."
He paused, awkwardly.
"And you? What do you enjoy."

"Oh well, you know how it is. Kakita trained, Topaz champion. clearly I enjoy and am a master of all the arts, both cultural and martial." she says with a mock serious tone before shattering the illusion with a laugh.
"But to be honest, of all the arts, I particularly enjoy Kōdō."

Reina smiled.
"It's the art of incense, Shiba-san." she explained. "It has ten virtues which I find rather nice when shared between people."
She looked down a little bit.
"Ah, but you probably don't want to hear about them."

You're right.
"You're right, but only because I'm an ignorant lout, Kakita-san. I think it'd do you good to talk about it, and it'd do me good to learn."

Reina nodded.
"In brief they are: Sharpens the senses, purifies the body and spirit; eliminates pollutants; awakens the spirit; heals loneliness; calms in turbulent times; is not unpleasant even in abundance; even in small amounts is sufficient; does not break down even after a very long time; a common use is not harmful."
"Qualities of a good incense," she offers. "Also not a bad guideline in what to look for in a person, ne?"

Reina shakes her head.
"That seems unlikely, Shiba-san. You seem rather tough, and unlikely to break down even after a very long time." she counters.

Reina shakes her head.
"Ah but see, Shiba-san, rather than simply refute you outright, I work towards building the steps towards agreement. For example, I noticed that at the Go tournament you focused all your energy on supporting others rather than advancing your own play." she offered.
