The strain between Baiyi and Riley is draining him. There was a time he would have been intensely jealous or one or both of them, wanting to claim them as his. But he has learned that love can be shared and he hopes that the love between the pair hasn't diminished. To be safe, he sits between them and sips on the cider, letting the apple sweetness soothe him momentarily.

"It feels nice today. I should have brought my pipa."

Instead he has other items stored on his person; items for defense.

"A-Ley, the cider is good. It's sweet."
