Kinsen kneels down, and starts to clean up things, slowly getting ready some tea for two. She stays silent, as they teach her about things she should have been aware of previously.

Since there weren't squirrels nearby, the process actually proceeds smoothly.

Tea ceremony wasn't one of the new arts she had found the time to properly learn yet, so she greatly appriciated Kinsen's dispay of it.

"Thank you, Lady Kinsen. Lady Doji must be proud of your skill," she remarked at its conclusion.

Kinsen bows thankfully, saying with a shy pinkess dotting her cheeks. "It was the least I could do to return the favor she gave me while being guest of the Seppun. She did teach me how to read, among many other things."

The giant seemed to simply get lost in the motions. He didn't really know what he was watching but it was relaxing. When it was done and he tasted the tea he nodded. "That was neat. Never seen anything like that."

"It is simple. But cozy, and fills up body, mind and spirit. At least I feel as much." She says, cleaning it all over again to store the items they used.

"From what I understand, it's... a ceremony that is meant to calm the soul, and appriciate the motions of the ritual. Much like it can be a peaceful and tranquil thing to watch a river flow by on a nice sunny day, or just watch butterflies go from flower to flower in a field. It's all harmonious motions in the world. In a way."

She had seen Doji do the ritual a few times but it wasn't one she had really learned yet. But she more or less had grasped the Kami's theory behind it.

"That's all kind of over my head. I'm more likely to take a nap to relax," he says with a smirk. "Don't need to know how to do anything to take a nap."

"A nap definitely has it value. That is true." Kinsen adds, "Hopefully the tea helps in getting prepared for a good nap, too."

"My personal problem with napping is that it suddenly becomes a couple of hours of sleep," she chuckled, "and then I wake up and everything is weird."
