"I don't understand Cantonese," Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow, turning to meet her childlike bright gaze, "are you from Hong Kong?"
"Sure am." Lan Duoduo smirked, "My name's Lan Duoduo, number 5 in the brigade."
"Xia Pingzhou, number 12." Ji Minghuan paused, "I thought all Anecdote Envoys were foreigners."
"China has quite a few Anecdote Envoys too, don't be stereotypical."
Lan Duoduo laughed, bumping him with her shoulder.
Ayase Origami approached and said coolly, "Kitty, sit inside."
Ji Minghuan shifted his position, making space for her, and sat further inside himself, letting Ayase Origami and Lan Duoduo sit together—truth be told, he wasn't very comfortable with Lan Duoduo's easy familiarity, so he welcomed the help from the young lady.
Lan Duoduo looked up, glancing at the boy with dark circles and the man dressed like a cowboy from the American West: "You two gentlemen, aren't you going to introduce yourselves to the newbie?"
