More for me, Baiyi thinks as he takes back the jug. He could rather easily drink the whole thing himself, though he might not feel like doing that with so many people here he doesn't know.

He picks up his bowl and is about to sip it when abruptly a tea set is on the table. What a handy trick! If only he could do that with dumplings too. That reminds him that he was hopeful the little brat had been cooking when he arrived. Sigh.

The question has him pausing thoughtfully as he tries to remember. He shakes his head. "It's only been about a year that I've known him personally but his master was an old friend of mine. I knew Qin Huaizhang for many years. I gifted him the blade he used and now belongs to Zishu."

After Runyu has poured himself a cup of tea, Baiyi reaches out and picks up the teapot to look at it. It's a lovely set and he wants to know how he did that... but without asking.
