Whistling tunelessly yet cheerfully in no competition with the birds or glory of the morning, Wei watched Li pull out the makings of a repast worthy of breaking their fast.  She smiled at him broadly as she approached, „Hungry, are you?“ she remarked sardonically while pretending to attempt a straight face.  She herself was famished , stomach kissing her spine, just as he had...pity their privacy had fled with the rising sun, hunger came in many forms.<br/><br/>Casting her gaze about in search of distraction, her eyes lit upon the others seemingly still deep in slumber.  The mysterious Madame Shu...now there was another challenge worthy of this fine morning.  Readying a tea pot she nodded towards the group, „Perhaps it is time for introductions, tea would not be remiss I think.“  And with that she rose again and made her way over to what had been the far side of the inn the night before.<br/><br/>Approaching the group in their own small circle of rocks she cleared her throat softly, then coughed delicately to announce her presence as well as the morn.  „A thousand apologies, my Lady,“ she said softly to ease any wakening, „a new day has dawned and this one believed refreshment would be welcome.“  Wei waited curiously for a response, then set the pot and stack of cups on a nearby rock.  „For what we have gained in the sun we have lost in hospitable service, I bid a good morning to you and shall leave you this here.“
