"No," Hong Liu answer after gathering her wits, did he really ask her to have tea with him? Oh, this is getting bizarre by the second. She crosses her arms on her chest and steps back a little, she has to keep a clear head this....can't be.
"Why not?" He looks genuinely confused. Hong Liu scoffed, not believing the sight in front of her. He had a look of a child who couldn't understand some complicated sutra.
"I can give you a million reasons for that but I would start with a recent one, are you forgetting that you are displeased with me for breaking your lily cups?" She tried her best not to raise her voice, so the guards nearby won't hear them.
"Displeased? No, what gave you the idea? It is you who look displeased with me," he is actually speaking more to her today than she even heard him speak.
"If you are not displeased....." she kept her voice forcefully low.
"Why are you asking for compensation for a mere tea set?!" She hissed.
