"It was good for the body and the soul," Genji agrees with a little hum, covering another small seedling and watching it begin to sprout slowly.
"Ah, it is as close to a home as I have now. Originally I am from Japan, though." He understood some of Nepali customs and cultures, but it was not his own and he didn't want to claim it as such.
"Oh!" She looks at that little one sprout, good luck little plant! And then she shuffles over for him to have space if he was to move.
"I see, so you moved there for a while. I have a brother in Japan too, so I also visit often." It's admirable how he learned new things, nevertheless. Cultures also involve sharing knowledge with each other to learn. Otherwise, how would she have such delicious coffee now?
"You can call me Sen, by the way. What should I call you?"
He tilts his head a little, giving her a grin - though she can't see it due to his face mask. He would offer his hand, but it's covered in dirt - so instead he takes the offered space to start on a new plant.
"Have you just arrived, as I did, or were you here with the first arrivals?"
She could tell he's being cheerful some way or another. Because of the tone in his voice, and the way he inclined his head. And really, she would've shaken his hand anyway, considering how her hands are probably grubby from holding the tools. And also, his hands are those hardworking, it's not like she would refuse.
"It's nice to meet you too, Genji!" And a polite bow of her head. "I arrived...perhaps a month before? So I guess the first arrivals. So you are new! How are you settling?"
Genji was raised to not offer dirty hands to people, so he assumes that extends to others as well, despite having been raised in a crime family.
"I am settling in all right, I suppose. People I know arrived here before me, such as my brother and my doctor. They have been a great help in assisting me," he hums slightly. "Did you arrive with others you knew?"
That's fine, guess it's time to use the superior way of greeting and getting to know one another through introductions: lots and lots of food. Lots of it.
"I see! I suppose that is much more fortunate for you, since they would know more about how this world works. Or have already settled down! Are you living with them?" Are they living together? Unlike her, where as much as she loves her family, wouldn't be caught dead living with them only because they're absolutely wild. Not that all of them are here either. "I did, my colleagues. And one of them, my former guardian, sometimes I call him older brother. So I had to learn about settling down here from scratch, along with them too. Oh, and new friends."
