gets his e-mail and beams. She has missed him so much!

got Macau's message. He will be there too.

waiting for them to come by. He even made tea and pork chop buns.

get there before Taiwan for obvious reasons.

won't make them wait for long! So she's soon waving at her brothers, happily running to them. "Heeeeey!"

waves to Taiwan as she arrived. "Hello, you two. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

nods and then flings self at him, glomping Macau in joy. "Way too much time, Macau! Missed you!"

"It has been... I suppose." He is going to stay clear of Taiwan's path as she flings herself at Macau.

pats her back as she latches on. "I'vemissed you both as well. Ah, that isn't very descriptive.."

looks up at him, smiling. "That's good enough by now. It's nice to know that Macau cares!"

looks away wondering if she means to say he did not care. "So then are we going to stay out here?"

didn't mean that, Hong Kong But she can't read thoughts, so...

motions for him to come in. "No, no. Come in."

lets go of Macau and follows him happily, humming a happy song under her breath.

fine, he will figure that out on his own some time. For now he gets to go inside Macau's home.

leads him to the dining room, where he's set out the food and tea.

still humming when she sits down and waits for her brothers, braiding her long hair a little.

sits down as well, right next to Taiwan. He unfortunately does not have long hair so he cannot braid his so he just sits.

pours tea for them and hands them the cups.

whispers her thanks before she sips at it. Mmmm, delicious!

takes his with a thanks. He will hold the cup in his hands for a bit before having a drink of the tea.

pours one for himself and sips. "So. What have you two been up to?"

sips again. "Drawing, taking care of my two kitties, working with my people... a little bit of everything...!"

nods. "I sort of kind of did what she did but I took care of fish and I visited the elderly."

raises an eyebrow. "The elderly, really?" He assumes Hong Kong meant China.

kinda assumes the same, so she just purses her lips and sips her tea!

might have meant China or the other old man. "Of course. You know how old people get all lonely."

nods once. "Ah, yes, of course."

manages to smile at that. "Well, that's good!"

sighs quietly. "So we've all done uninteresting things, then?"

sure what he did was interesting. "I think visiting the elderly is interesting actually. They quite enjoy my visits."

sips and looks at her brothers. "I try finding the interesting side to everything, too..."

nods. "Ah, but certain things are always mundane....Oh, I thought of something interesting. I won 200 pacata."

sure going to see the old people never gets old; maybe cause they were already old. "Have you got any plans for your winnings?"

((*pataca x_x i thought that looked weird))

[/patpat don't worry I understood.]

shakes his head. "No, not at the moment. I've put it away for now."

listens and sips her tea, hopes Macau won't lose these winnings or something. You never know!

then kicks herself because she has noticed she's thinking almost like China in these regards, oops!

nods slowly. "Don't tell teacher. I bet he would have many suggestions for you and that money."

nods. "Of course. I know that. He won't find out."

looks at them and places he cup on the table. "And aside of winning money, what have you been up to?"

waits for Macau to answer Taiwan's question.

shrugs and sips his tea. "Oh, the usual work and such."

takes a bite from her dumpling, lightly tapping the floor with her foot. "So this is a change from the usual... I'm glad! Because when I--

--said I missed you around, Macau, I meant it. And a lot."

pick up a dumpling and inspect before he looks up. "So does this mean we have not seen Macau because he has been working and winning

money somewhere?"

takes a dumpling to take a bite.

"Yes, I've been buried in work."

sips tea and beams. "That's nice! But let's not just stay here. We could so many things today, don't you think so?"

could actually sit and eat but if they decide it is time to go take a walk then he will join them.

nods. "Yes, i'm feeling a bit restless. We can go for a walk."

smiles brightly. "Yes, sounds good to me too!". She finishes her tea, but will finish her dumpling as they walk together ~

going to take some extra dumplings with him then for this walk. He may as well eat as they walk. "I can come along I suppose."

stands up and smooths his clothes. "Alright. Are we going to go anywhere in particular?"

looks around. "Let's start with the closest docks, and then see where to go? Without real fixed sights or anything?!"

"That doesn't sound bad to me." He was ready to go. He thinks he has managed to grab enough dumplings for the stroll.

waves for them to follow him. "Alright, let's go then."

finishes her tea (and almost chokes on it!) before taking some more dumplingsd and following Macau happily, skipping a little bit.

might just be amused by the way Taiwan drank her tea but that is not very obvious. He follows after Taiwan.

leads them out of his home and down the street. He assumes they'll keep close.

does so! She's a little behind Macau, watching her surroundings with almost childish amazement.

be right behind Taiwan. He is concentrating on eating mostly.

leads them along, towards the docks, occasionally greeting people as they moved along.

just thinking that Macau knows a lot of people.

hums to herself and follows, greeting those who talk to her, and pretending to not hear when someone hits on her.

only stops to briefly talk to an old man, but continues walking towards the docks.

letting those two do all the greetings and chatting. He is nibbling away on a dumpling.

he's lazy, lazy, lazy! But she doesn't say it and follows Macau, stopping a little to pet some stray cats.

stops when she does, kneeling down as well to pat the cat's head.

lets them both pet the cat. He is sure it would not want another person pestering. Plus it looked kind of sickly to him, he will take a step

back.

takes one of the umplings she brought, parts it with her hands, and puts the pieces it in front of the cats so they can eat it!

stands up as she feeds the cats, watching her give the dumpling to the cat.

would cross his arms but he was holding dumplings so all he gets to do is stand there and watch.

soon done, and smiles at her brothers. "Ready, let's keep it on! And please don't take it the wrong way, the dumplings are nice but--

--I also felt bad for these poor things, and since it was the only thing I had handy to give them... sorry!"

waves a hand. "Oh, it's fine. I'm sure they enjoyed them, don't you think so?"

"Anyway, as long as they eat them it wouldn't be a waste." He looks at his own dumplings and holds some out for Taiwan to take.

whispers "thank you" and takes some dumplings from him, then sets back in their tracks!

continues walking along, glancing at shops for sales.

her a nod accepting the thanks and is back to following them once they start walking again.

skips around happily, mentally comparing prices and restraining self from squealing whenever she saw something cute!

also takes note where he can see the best sales, remembering to stop by when they're going back.

not too concerned with prices at the moment. He could just think about other stuff and follow them along.

makes some mental notes, specially of some cute hairpins. She then eeps a little and follows them hurriedly, realising she was almost--

--left behind at some point!

slows down so she can catch up. "The docks are just just ahead." He says, pointing towards them.

kind of walked slower when he saw her straying behind. He wasn't just going to leave her but it seems they are near their destination as

Macau just said.

catches up to them fast! Hairpins will come soon, but the docks are priority right now!

stops to let them both catch up. "We're almost there." He says, "I'll show you two around."

nods. "It's okay, we'll follow you wherever you go!"

"That's right, so lead on."
