[She's not above bribing him into spending time with her.
(Well, normally she'd just bully him into it; after today, though, she's tired. She's taking the shortcut, because she doesn't want to see him walk away from her. He'll probably stay at least for as long as it takes to eat the food, right?)]
[ No wheedling, no whining, no bullying. No relentless Ming-xioooong, just Qingxuan trying to bribe him into companionship. He eyes her a beat, two, before holding his hand out for the beef skewer. ]
Alright. Give it here.
[ ... he accepts, not setting a time limit for it just yet. ]
[ He does start eating it, but at least waits for her to gather everything she wants to bring before he starts to walk off with her in tow. The common room is across the way, and he figures taking her to where the bar is will be enough of a compromise in spending time together.
Her expression softens a little as she realizes where they're headed, and once they're in there, she'll set them down before heading over to the bar. A drink would be good, and he could likely use something to wash down all his food with...]
[Something sweet, huh? She can do that. she pulls out some bottles from the bar, studies them for a moment or two, pours out a little - just enough to taste! - and then returns with two cups and a bottle of expensive sweet wine. It's fine.
Returning with it, she pours some for them both before offering him his cup.]
[ He takes the wine, giving it a sniff before taking a small drink instead of knocking it back. There's a small crinkle of his nose, but it isn't disgust so much as it is still the realization that this is so rich in flavor it's probably rich in price.
Honestly he doesn't know what this is, but if he did then he'd be tempted to eat the rich Qingxuan instead of Kaz.

Thank you.
[That said, she goes to pick up some of the other things to carry it so he can start eating if he wants.]
Let's go find somewhere more comfortable to sit down.

What do you feel like drinking?
no subject
[ He'll entrust that to her, at the very least. If anyone knows alcohol, it's the Young Lord Who Poured Wine.
Although, as he moves to sit, cheek full of food as he obliterates the skewer, he pauses and considers. With a hum, he looks back up at her. ]

Infuriating. ]
As always, you know your selection.

Ahaha, if there's good alcohol somewhere, it won't be able to hide from me for long!
[Why does she sound so proud of that.]
no subject
Anyways. ]
You probably shouldn't be proud of that, but considering your ascension, I can't say I'm surprised.
[ Ha ha ha. ]
no subject
I don't think anything about me surprises you. We're best friends, after all.
[In theory, he's used to her.]
