He looks a little crestfallen, "Um... well I want you to be happy but I don't really have nothin' I'm lookin' for. Never really gave it thought. You just do your duty and marry who they tell you."

His expression pains her and she frowns as well, though her mind raced at break neck speed.
And what if you were told to marry this one?
"Wouldn't you want a say? The matchmakers surely will not match you poorly... but what... what if it were up to you?"
Then she realizes that might distress him further. Backpedal, fast. "This one is already happy here with you." She added quickly and thought again of drowning in embarrassment.

"But the Shika use some sorta spirit magic don't they? If the spirits cared what I had ta say they'd have talked to me from the start." Surprisingly, for what is likely a sore spot for many of the rare Asahina without the gift, Bo says it as a simple matter of fact not any sort of self-recrimination, "But I'm glad you're happy. That makes me happy too!"

"Then we're stuck in an endless loop of making each other happy, and I do not disapprove," oh Kami... she took a deep, stuttering breath.
"I think you're right," about the Shika using spirits, "-though the truth of it is I don't really know for sure. It's different criteria."

Bo rubs his chin with a wet hand, "So... if we were doin' this your way who would you match me with? What are those cri.. criteria."

"Well..." she took a long moment to pause and try to start her thoughts again after they completely stopped at the question. Utter silence inside her head and the wheels died.
".... Here's what this one knows so far. Asahina-san would be happiest with a samurai-ko who was patient, friendly, kind, sincere. He would also like to see more of Rokugan. He would also like someone who would enjoy sharing endless meals with him."
Her ears roared with the thundering of her heartbeats, and she closed her eyes and swallowed before opening them again. "I mean, there are considerations about ones station and the status one brings to a marriage, but harmony between two samurai is equally as important."
She looked off to one side.
Suddenly very lightheaded.
Unable to speak what her heart was screaming in her ears, and she sunk lower again into the waters, blushing furiously.

Bo nods along, "That makes sense... oh? Are you ok?" He finally noticed the flush and reaction as it grew more intense, "Is it too hot?"

"The water is just fine, Asahina-san, if a little higher than I remember it last," she said in jest.
Just tell him!
She pushed up into a proper sitting position finally.
"I'm fine, as well!" she lied through her teeth easily. "I.." her voice caught in her throat and she had to restart. "You're always looking out for others, aren't you?"

"Guess I never really thought of it that way but I guess so. Guess I reckon no one wants a friend to be sufferin' if they can help."

"An admirable quality, and one that would make any samurai-ko proud to be your wife." She spoke slowly. This was becoming increasingly more difficult to talk around.
