Re: DC: Aubrey/Kitane/Mingmei Coffee
[Mingmei grinned, amused that Kitane had stepped on Chinese tradition in all one blow, never minding what she wanted to do. Haggling, especially when one was a guest, was only considered acceptable and polite. Offering to pay? Well, that was more American than not, but Mingmei had lived in America now for nearly four years. She guessed it was about time to adapt to American culture.
Still, she let herself be dragged off by Kitane, amused all the same.]
I don't think they do, either, but I bet we can find something that you will like, Kitane!
[There was a content smile on her face this entire time, like all was well with the world.]
