Halfway through the process of pouring the water from the kettle into the teapot, Walter glances over his shoulder just in time to see Gu Yun's gesture of invitation. Though he sees the man in a friendly light, it is nevertheless a rarity for Walter to be invited so close to someone. Thinking on the particular subject matter he intends to speak about, his quiet fluster deepens. Yet, he doesn't raise objection. He can handle cutting down Nazis and ageless, blood-sucking vampires. He can handle a little conversation like this.

He just hopes that he can handle it well.

"Just a moment. I'll bring the tea over."

Water poured and kettle returned to its position on the stove, Walter gathers the tray on which pot and cups are set and brings them over to the sofa. There's a third cup in case Li Min returns, but he intends for it to remain unfilled until such time as his friend appears. It wouldn't do to serve tea gone lukewarm.

"Let me know how it is. I'm used to preparing black tea. I've never had much opportunity to try green."
