Ma Yuan and Yang Qing didn't exchange any other words from the moment Ma Yuan sat down. They sat there, eating and drinking in silence. Close to half an hour passed by like that, with not a peep out of the two. They seemed to meld into the silence of the place. Even their eating seemed muffled.
The only person or creature out of place was Ellie. She had finished all her fish at some point and flew over to try and score some from Ma Yuan using the most pitiful look she could muster. She didn't try to pull the move on Yang Qing as she knew the person all too well. All she'd get for her efforts was a good painful flick to the head.
