A Tranquil Breakfast with Elder Min

Elder Min giggled at his response, a rare sound in the early morning stillness of the outpost. "I see you're quite the charmer no matter the time and place. Unfortunately, I usually take my meals in my quarters. What do you say about joining me there instead?"

As he wasn't expecting acceptance, Xu Qi was pleased inwardly, especially when it was a direct invitation to her room rather than taking their meal in the courtyard downstairs.

Was it his charm working again? He could only take that but he didn't let it show on his face. Instead, he responded, his courteous smile not leaving his face, "I'd be honored to join you in your quarters, Elder Min. I'll be leaving the city to continue my journey to my mission location later so it'll be a shame to leave without sharing a meal."

"Good, good," Elder Min nodded as she gestured for him to follow her.
