Nashida is actually getting a little more comfortable with the flirtatious statements from Raimaa, although they had been completely unexpected when she'd made the first divulgence. So now they were trading blows like some kind of spar, one that didn't require as much physical exertion as any true sparring match, but was no less exciting for the fact that they were trading back and forth with some verbal teasing. What had started off somewhat informal and lighthearted was a little more charged, or at least Nashida felt that way, perhaps only because of the subject matter in question during this conversation.
"Someone to shiver my timbers, as it were."
This was a fun bit of wordplay, but she felt at least a little bit of pressure when Raimaa herself suggests that the Tantetsu Genin might one day make a replica of one of the Futago clan's relics, which she feels must have quite a lot of significance. Such a request would certainly be more involved than simply taking a piece of steel and folding it into the crane shape. She wonders when she'll become confident enough to do that kind of work in replicating more serious pieces, and Nashida doesn't have an answer for herself. Certainly it would be long after she's made her own armor...
The conversation changes to something Nashida is a bit more confident with, at least, that being her capabilities. She's at least a little more aware of where the conversation is going, and therefore on more solid ground that she can use for describing what she can do.
"I'm not too bad at non-elemental Ninjutsu as well. I've also been allowed to add my name to the Giant Ice Centipede summoning contract, as well, so I'm able to summon... some of the centipedes, at least..."
Her summoning capabilities were rather less impressive compared to her ability with Koton and Ninjutsu in general, but it does bear mentioning, especially since Haimushi was capable of using venom to cause intense pain that might distract her opponent from being able to focus appropriately on the fight.
