"So… That thing about your mission you mentioned yesterday. What is it?" Liu Wei started the conversation, tying his still damp auburn hair, so that it wouldn't get in his way as he was doing the dishes.

They hadn't spoken at all during the breakfast, as Yu Qingyu was simply still too embarrassed to utter a word. Although Liu Wei didn't share his feelings - his thoughts were more along the lines that if both of them were going to rub it off, next time they should perhaps just do it together, helping each other - he picked up on his opponent's shyness, and gave the man some time to recover. 

Now that the meal was over though, it was finally time to have a talk.

"Oh, that…" Yu Qingyu cleared his throat, trying to think what to say. "Well, the elves getting into a conflict with the envoys could affect my mission… In a positive way. It could result in ending the negotiations, and that's supposed to be my goal in this world."
