Summary: The groom's family meets the bride and future sister-in-law.
The Log:

China had sent out a text to his family members a week in advance before the scheduled meeting, so when he awoke that morning of the set date he was feeling slightly nervous. As far as he knew, his siblings never had as much interaction with Stocking as he did. Then of course was the usual worry of the family not approving the bride to be. Despite his worries, he helped Stocking clean the apartment, he prepared some tea, snacks, and of course sweets. He was dressed in his red outfit with his hair neatly combed into its usual ponytail.

After setting the tray of tea and food down on the low table, he stood up to scan over the apartment briefly. Everything seemed in order, so now all there was to do was wait. He glances over in Stocking's direction to give her a small smile before returning his gaze to the door.

Taiwan is almost not going to notice, being pretty involved in the whole planning process...

He watches as Stocking takes a sit beside his sister.

"Duck would definitely be something great to have at the wedding feast. I will catch a few in Dissimulo. Shark fin soup would also be good, if we can find a shark, that is. What else...? Ah! Sea cucumber! Lobster, squid, fish roe... I wonder if we would be able to find any swift nests to make bird's nest soup? We could make some rice too. And sweets, as we have already discussed." He sips at his tea.

Seriously, Teacher, you're being a little bit unrealistic. "Well, I mean, we'll do our best, but I don't think we'll be able to have all of that."

Sorry, he just misses some of the foods they ate back home. He sighs once he's swallowed down his tea.

"I know. Sea cucumber may exist somewhere here, but we lack the diving equipment to dive down and retrieve them. Same goes for the lobster. On the other hand, I've seen squid in the lake, flying fish too. If we're lucky, we might be able to get some fish roe from the latter." He pauses to pop one of the cut fruits into his mouth. He chews and swallows it before speaking again. "Of course we can always make bao and other favorite Chinese dishes." He chuckles. "Perhaps you should make some of that shaved ice of yours as one of the desserts."

Since their wedding will most likely occur while the warmer months are still in place and with so many people in one enclosed area, the temperature is bound to go up.

"So much work..." She's griping but Taiwan legitimately doesn't mind. "I don't think I'll have time to catch and cook the food..."

"I could always help out. You know I'm not just going to watch you guys work." She nodded and sighed a bit. "If only I had my chip out."

"Xi Shi can help us catch the food and she can defend herself against the lake creatures. Then we could ask the other siblings to assist with the cooking." He says to Taiwan.

Then he turns his eyes to Stocking. He reaches out across to put a hand on her shoulder. "Would you like me to ask the same person who took my chip out? She doesn't use surgery to remove chips."

"We'll talk about that later." She shrugs a bit.

"Maybe it would be better to wait to do anything with the chips, I mean..." She looks a little thoughtful. "I've heard of weird things happening.."

He brings his hand back to wrap around his tea cup. "That is true and you remembered what happened to me, Taiwan."

She does remember that, quite well. Even though it was really weird. "I'd kind of like to meet a younger Stocking, but not right before the wedding!"

"A younger me? I'm pretty much the same. More quite I suppose." Yup she's always been stubborn and a sugar freak.

"It's just different, you know? Having the idea and actually seeing it..." Though she could definitely do without the part where China got all scaly.

China simply smiles at the two. "I agree. I wouldn't mind seeing a younger Stocking, but I would not want her to go through after effects right before the wedding. It would have to be postponed then."

Taiwan is just going to look at you a little askance, China. "Oh...I didn't know Teacher was like that..."

He blushes and puts his hands in front of him in defense. "N-No! You are getting the wrong idea! Of course I did not mean it like that!"

"Stocking, there's still time to reconsider..."
