[Xiaolang arrives not too much later after Leon does, coming straight from the information sharing session at the high school to the karaoke club. It's definitely not a place he'd come to of his own volition, with all it's bustle and noise, and it shows. His shoulders are stiff and his brow is knit, and his body language just screams he'd rather be anywhere but here right now. But! It was Li-Na's birthday (and a very important one at that) and they hadn't gotten to celebrate it together like a family due to all of this mission stuff, so he was just going to have to endure it for her sake.
Cradling the small, simple bag containing her gifts to his chest (Leon seemed to be going big with hers, so he opted for some nice metal hair clips from Respatrum and a small, handmade chocolate cheesecake instead), he doesn't have a chance to deflect Li-Na's hug, making a tiny choked noise of surprise as she pulls him in. He's red to the tips of his ears as he shifts a little to try to break it, attempting not to crush her presents in the process. FAMILIAL AFFECTION, WHAT EVEN IS THAT--]

I-I-- I couldn't not come. You're family.
