Pfft, that's like saying you're not gonna wear your underwear until a week after you've washed them. It's not like it's gonna get any cleaner than clean!
[ takes a big bite out of his spaghetti hand mess and grins smugly. ]
You're just jealous that I know how to read.

We'll see. Depends on if I need to or not.
(Don't mind Claude with like his 4 different cups of tea that Hua Cheng has probably made him take so they don't go to waste. He's had a tea bag in one cup or like... ever but this is fine. It's fine.)
That makes me and Hua Cheng and you and Xie Lian but what about Bucky?
(They're all a pair! Except Bucky. That's rough.)

(This is Claude. He's been kind of quiet and keeping close to Hua Cheng and Xie Lian but otherwise, he seems fine. He's sitting cross legged on the floor in front of a coffee table or something because he's a grown noble that just sits on the floor sometimes.
Claude also has like 4 different cups of tea in front of him for some reason. He must be really thirsty or something before bed. It's cool. One is still steaming hot and is still steeping a bag in it, the other three seem like they've cooled down. One doesn't even have any tea in it. It's just a mug of water.
He's got a few packs of sugar and he's dumping one into his hot cup.)
It looks like this is where we're camping out for tonight. We should figure out how we're sleeping.
(Asking the real questions here... and pointing out:)
There are five of us and three couches.

[ oh claude. xie lian's not sure why you would put that much sugar in a cup of tea, but that's fine! you do you, buddy. he does dig around briefly in his sleeve and lean over the coffee table to place a bag of tea in the empty cup for him without any fanfare! it's green tea! don't ask. ]
You can have a couch, Claude. I'll sleep on the floor.
[ That's a horrible idea. ]

(Xie Lian what is up your sleeve........
Claude blinks at the tea offering and bows his head lightly,)
Thanks.
(For the tea. As for the couch thing!!!)
Wow, that sure is kind of you. (It's less genuine and more cheeky, though,) I suppose if Hua Cheng is fine with it...
(YOU REALLY GONNA LET HIM SLEEP ON THE FLOOR, BRO???)

Right, right, sorry. Look, I don't mind either. (Sleeping on the floor.) This place sure beats some of the places I've camped in, at least.
(He is! He was just having some fun!! And he's going to have a sip of tea and... make a face. How much sugar did he add to this???)
Ugh. (And going to take a sip from a different tea cup. It's a chamomile blend but boy is it dark like whatever tea he had in there was left way too long. NO HE'S MAKING ANOTHER FACE AND JUSt... going to try to mix these two teas together the best he can,) What a waste...
(Trying to save his tea.............)

[ Aight that's it.
Hua Cheng appears as if summoned and leans over Claude to take away the teas that are no longer any good, he's watched him do this long enough and is taking pity on him. ]
Gege is taking a couch, and so are you. Raven and Bucky can figure out the third one if they really want it. [ Why does he have to be responsible? He's usually cheeky and causing trouble. ] I've slept in worse places than the floor, and you two -
[ A Meaningful Look. You're healing and you're a mess, sleep on a soft surface. ]

(No, his science tea set.
All that's left is the one that's still steeping and one tea that? Looks okay? Even if it's cooled significantly. At least between the two, he can pick.
He also doesn't answer Hua Cheng and instead, chooses his cup and takes a sip. Ginger and honey. Perhaps not as good as it would have been if it was still hot but it'll do.)
Got it. (Easy enough. He'll give in. It's the better deal, anyway.) I'm not complaining.
(Holding his cup in his hands,)
The doors closed at the same time. I suppose that means we'll fall asleep at the same time, too.
(Which has him looking around for a clock? Is there a clock???)

San Lang, you shouldn't sleep on the floor.
[ disapproving!! ] By that logic, I've also slept in far worse places.
[ sorry about your teacup, claude. xie lian was also going to take his cup away, though, so, he and hua cheng were at least on the same wavelength there...the parenting vibes.
he's the one to check claude's other cup for him, watching to make sure it doesn't oversteep without saying anything. ] The rulebook said the doors would close if it were necessary.
[ ... ] I wonder what that means for us this evening. [ whatever it means, xie lian really doesn't like it! thanks! ]

... I'm all for competition but this is just depressing.
(What is this? The "worst sleeping place" olympics? It's making his back hurt just thinking about it... he's too young for back pain.
Anyway just going to sit there and look at his tea. He doesn't like this either. He doesn't mind waiting but he hates not being able to do anything.)
I wonder where everyone else is.
