[ That was one part of the traditions that he had apparently overlooked. He nods absently, and sets to making himself a cup of tea. He may have adapted to many of this world's customs and practices, but he still found that coffee was too bitter for him, and adding sugar and cream just made it too sweet. There was no finding a happy medium with the drink, so he sticks to tea.
Once he has the tea, he settles in across the table from Jin Ling. ]
You did? I hope I haven't kept you waiting long...
[ There's certainly a lot of things Jin Ling didn't know. He probably knew far less than his father did really but all the same. He gets the idea that a part of the holiday is being with people you care about and so this is as good a start as anything. ]
Not really.
[ Jin Ling shrugs noncommittally and he pushes one of the Christmasy looking cakes toward Jin Zixuan, it's a breakfast cake of sorts one that would pair well with coffee but who knows how it would go with tea. ]
[ They're still settling into a comfortable rhythm between them, allowing them to coexist in this new space they've carved out for themselves in this odd world. It's a shaky road, but Jin Zixuan wants nothing more than to walk it.
He takes the cake and takes a bite of it, chewing thoughtfully. ]
Mm. That's good! Very sweet.
[ Maybe a little too sweet for his tastes, but he resolutely takes another bite, chewing and swallowing before setting the cake down. ]
I'm glad you reminded me of the holiday. Your gift ought to be getting delivered today.
