Mei wanted to disappear into the ground as she stood utterly still under her husband's heavy gaze. She could feel her cheeks and ears burning as he spoke to Skye, then turned back to her. As she felt her legs turning to jelly and her stomach behi to knot, Mei hesitantly looked up at him, and asked; "W-Will you be attending the banquet tonight?"
Hang's eyes searched Mei's for a long moment before he replied; "Yes, if that is agreeable to you. I can cancel my other plans."
"N-No, you don't have to. S-Skye and Hana can accompany-"
"I will return to our quarters to dress later. I will see you then," came Hang's icy reply before he turned back towards the others; "I look forward to dinner, Princess Skye, ladies, Master Toshinori.."
