Aya smiles a bit. Those were very very tame by Ryoko Owari standards. Which was pretty unsurprising given the Matsu's upright bringing. Still, that was a rather wide sampling of tame fare. Aya didn't really get a sense of the Lion's tastes, other than feeling she was daring with such fare.

"Hmmm. Roar of the Lion is pretty good. Although I think 'Enmity Between Us' is a bit more...passionate. On the other hand, The Ruby Empire series really explores some interesting spaces in those stories...although it's definitely not one that sees open circulation." she offers.

She nodded gently, a bit of flush showing on her face. "If you know where to get some copies, I would be glad to read them. My experiences with such things are quite limited unfortunately."

Aya blinked at that. The request definitely caught her off guard.

She sipped her drink.

"Well....it IS Nikesake, and there's a whole street of book vendors. Assuming the city is not overrun tomorrow, I suppose I could take a look to see what they have." she offered.

"Thank you," she beamed brightly. "I should be glad to have a friend willing to offer such assistance, I think."

Aya chuckles.

"No doubts, moving forward, remember?" she lightly teases.

She offers a toast.

"To new friendships, to be made permanent by the fires of battle."

She held up her own cup, letting out a loud "Kampai!" before downing it in one shot.
