This....actually pulled a geniune smile from him. Someone understood! Though Cheng wasn't the kind of man to go all out as Vegas seemed to, the patterned mulberry silk and bolos were intentional and preferred. Cheng liked subtlety even if his emotions were sometimes furthest from. "Thank you. If I may ask, what is traditional for your people? I've seen many desire rings but I'm from a place where courting and the three bows are sufficient to marry."

He just didn't tack on that courting was a million meetings and haggling of finances vetween families and not the choice of two people.
