"Not what I-"
And then the kiss. Kobushi allows it, but it stays quick. The Crane doesn't allow it to linger, not when he was a related concern in mind. He smiles, but decides to broach the topic.
"There is one issue, though. I'm trying to figure something out. About a girl."

"Oh! You've got a girl? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ah, intrude."
Rodrigo flushed, looking apologetic.
"What are you trying to figure out, exactly?"

"No, no. No girl. Not that way. I think. And that's sort of the problem." He sighs. "I have no idea how I feel about her. Everyone I've asked advice from seems to think I'm interested in her that way, but after thinking about it, I can't be sure."

"Hm? And why aren't you sure?"

He taps his head a couple of times.
"A little slow on the uptake. I have no idea how I feel about her. All I know is, no matter how much I was goaded into it, I've never used the full extent of my training on anyone human before. Because if I do, there's a risk I could seriously break someone. That's what I was trained to do. Break things that can't be broken. All she had to do was ask me to, and I obliged her."
"And that means something. I just don't know what it means."

...now it was Rodrigo's turn to be dense. Whatever Kobushi was talking about, he certainly didn't understand it. Was he saying what Rodrigo thought he was saying?
"...are you saying you hit her?"

"It was a spar. She asked me to hit her with everything I could possibly throw at her, while she was entirely on the defensive. If it helps, I missed half the time and the times I did hit her, it was barely a touch."
He frowns.
"It's not like I want to do that. But I do want to give her what she asks for. She asked for my best and I gave it, because she deserves it," he answers, finally coming up with an explanation that probably made sense. "And because she makes me want to bring out my best."

"Oh! In a spar. That's much different. For a second I thought you meant...never-mind."
He waved a hand dismissively.
"I don't think I'd recommend hitting her with everything you've got, but then again, I've ran into plenty of girls that can kick my ass. She might well be able to handle herself."

"She was insistent on it, really. Well, the first time we sparred at least. The second time, she actually started hitting me back." He looks out at the horizon, and wonders. "From what I've seen, she handles herself just fine until I do something that gets her mind out of the game."
"But she does make me want to always be at the top of mine. I guess I see her differently from everyone else?"

"She always wants you to be at your best?"
Rodrigo chuckled and clapped Kobushi on the back. The answer to him was obvious. Only one kind of relationship could involve always pushing each-other to be their best.
"That, my friend...is called a rival. A friendly one, from the sound of it."
He punched a fist into his palm.
"Always wanting to see each-other at the top of their game, see who's best, yeah? A bit of friendly competition? If she wants to go all out, so should you. You'll definitely improve each-other."
