A sigh of relief left Liu's mouth as the other three guests he had brought with him began devouring the bao left and right. The one worry he had was that they wouldn't take well to them, but since he was wrong, there was nothing left to worry about.
...
Except the pace at which they were devouring them. Torako in particular was an egregious example of this; she had downed all those bowls of soup earlier, and she had somehow managed to polish off a good third of the buns in the time it had taken for him to eat two. What was she, some kind of monster? A bottomless hole?

"I think... We may require some more bao." he laughed nervously as he turned to the kitchen. It'd take a while for Mr. Zhang to have the next order ready, so hopefully they wouldn't get rowdy. They didn't seem like the type, luckily enough, but it never hurt to play it safe. Maybe he could ask if some tea could be put on...

Kyang's question was... Interesting, to say the least, but he could go along with it. Given the way things were going, he might be stuck with these people for a while, so there was no point in not gathering information. The same went for giving it out.

"Ah... My parents live here in Mingdu; father works on the fields, mother as an aide at the medicine house. I mean, when you live in a tight-knit community like the one here, though, everyone's basically extended family. I've got no complaints about that, of course." he stated, a smile on his face. "Though they are starting to get a bit old... Gotta start picking up the pace in hunting big game, or else it might get a bit hard to continue saving as usual."
