Taking her time eating meant that Kyang was missing out on many of the bao - Torako was delivering food to the army that lived in her stomach as she had been before. Though, Kyang didn't much mind. Her constitution was closer to average and she had eaten soup barely an half hour earlier. These bao were an experience of quality over quantity anyway.

Kyang felt a little guilty for asking Torako about her family. Any number of tragic stories could explain her lack of family, but at least she was good natured about it. Liu's answer was a little more upbeat, thankfully. Xin seemed to ignore the question, likely for his own reasons.

"It's nice that you have a good family," Kyang said to Liu. Just for something to talk about, she decided to give an answer, "My family were real stuffy types. They didn't even let me out of the walls of the manor until I was ten. I had to get out of there or else they were going to marry me to some fat-face from the eastern coast." Kyang opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue in a pretend retch. In an effort to keep the conversation tame, Kyang changed the subject. She didn't want to risk going into detail about her family. "So, any of you got hobbies? I like reading."
