[Sheliak instantly lit up at the mention of music. Although there was a hint of sadness in his smile, it was temporarily overshadowed by his curiosity. He wasn't familiar with those kinds of music. He was also curious what a waka gashira was but Samatoki's question distracted him. He hesitated for a moment with a weak chuckle.]

Not really, unless you consider being paraded around to impress everyone interesting. Although I have to admit, I enjoyed proving the fools that underestimated me wrong.

[Sheliak continued with a casual shrug.]

When I could get away from everyone's tedious expectations, I enjoy chess and well, it may sound strange but I enjoy sleeping, usually underwater, although that's not possible here at the moment.

[Sheliak sounded frustrated but he pushed it aside and leaned closer to Samatoki with an excited smile.]

And we share a love of music, although I've never heard of the kinds you like. Tell me more about them.
