[ Meant in a number of ways, truly, though none of them bear negative connotation. There’s a small nod of his head. ]
Of course, then I accept your feelings.
[ Why does he feel as though he’s just been confessed to...? (If so, it’d be a pretty rude way to reply.) ]
Still, next time, I’ll be sure to have some wagashi ready.
[ Did he say ‘next time’? He sure did. There’s not much commitment to it, however -- merely, if Reisi decides to pay another visit, he’s more than welcome. Appreciated, even. But there’s nothing holding the shinki to it; no obligation to be found.
If that comment isn’t sufficient, however, he’ll be sure to extend an express invitation before the evening is through. Why? To put it simply, he’s curious. Having caught mere glimpses of it by now, the god wants to see more of that playful side emerge out from underneath all his formalities and decorum. Title and status aside, who is Reisi Munakata? He’s well-intentioned, and -- from what Tatara can tell thus far -- warm-hearted, (if the latter is infinitely well-guarded). But what else is there to the man? Is he playful? Kind? Clever?
He’s amazed how much he doesn’t know just yet; and before, likely never would have. Here, however, he’s got a fighting chance. He’s not about to squander it. ]
[Are they really such strong words? Reisi lets out a tiny chuckle as Tatara continues, moving on to accept Reisi's feelings. It's quite a relief, actually, even if it's done perhaps as a gesture of politeness. His smile seems to broaden just a little bit.]
If that's the case, I look forward to it. I'd be more than happy to return to perform tea ceremony with you.
[Then, it seems like he considers something.]
I admit this performance was slightly impromptu. Apologies for not mentioning it sooner.
[Reisi sets the bowl of tea down with a sort of finality.]
If you’d like, perhaps we can go over that next time as well? Though, it's not entirely necessary, and besides... tea ceremony is but one hobby.
[So he wouldn't mind other opportunities to share his interests with the god, and this is his way of saying so.]
[ Tatara is about to graciously accept, when instead, Reisi continues.
Truly, it’s fascinating to see a man once gauged as so single-minded come into three-dimensional shape. The god would say he’s underestimated his guest, but they were hardly well-acquainted enough in their last life for opinions to properly form. ]
You have more hobbies, Munakata-san?
[ That’s his primary takeaway, here; and, consider his interest thoroughly piqued! As made evident by his slight lean forward. ]
Namely doing jigsaw puzzles... Though I also quite like taking opportunities to experience new things if and when they present themselves.
[Within reason, of course.
Reisi wordlessly offers the newly-finished bowl of tea to the god with the expectation that the other man should inspect as well as appreciate it. Its presentation, its scent, its bowl, and so on. Tea ceremony is sophisticated like that.]
Regardless, Tatara smiles warmly all the same. At least Reisi seems open-minded to new hobbies. And, if worse comes to worst, there’s nothing wrong with building a puzzle together quietly, now is there? So he offers a nod in response.
Though he’s inexperienced with this whole ceremony and its proceedings, he’s keen enough to take a hint and follow his guest’s lead. Smelling the tea is rather... well, it smells as expected, the god can certainly say that. The bowl attracts his hands to more closely discern its design, but only fleetingly. ]
Do you think you might be willing to try some new ventures with me, Munakata-san?
[ Why is he asking? Who knows. But there is something unique to Reisi's company that Tatara seems to enjoy. ]
