['challenge' is one way to put it. wanda does not see it that way, but she is not bound to give clarification regardless of the question that expects some kind of explanation. it is clear, regardless, that this man has a preference for stairs and she will not try and tell him how to build the walls of his domain.
she reaches the landing at the halfway point, stops to look at himβfinally, momentarily, at a more advantageous height. it will not last for long should he catch up with her.
the man is clearly reserved. 'i can climb these' indicates that he is not looking for the comfort of others, nor has he planned for others visiting. wanda can understand the sentiment.]
