When Rika brought up something about what was already going on right now, he just did not seem to care. He doesn't turn beet red, he doesn't go looking away, he just watches her and listens. "I'm not going to let that be a distraction to me." He says this far too coolly, and without catching the look that Aika gave him.<br/><br/>Because of the calm, and detached way in which he responded, it would be hard to say that his comment was made in arrogance or haste. The fact is, he knows himself, and he controls himself far too well for something like sexual desire  get in the way of the things that have to be done. The fact he's been raised by a fairly strict monk also likely has shaped his views on sex, since many monks  take a vow of celibacy.<br/><br/>When Aori brings up the topic of books, he nods his head. "Good thinking. A local, recently published atlas might be a good idea, too. That can give us maps of this prefecture, and the surrounding ones, if we need to move."<br/>
