[Xiaolang had been eyeing the gift Quin had brought with something just a bit above distaste, the old competitive streak with the other boy gnawing within him. Ugh, it was huge, bigger than the modestly sized gift bag he had brought, and no doubt that jerk made whatever he gave her by hand, too. Not that Xiaolang's gift wasn't any less thoughtful, and the bear that he brought was handmade (albeit not by his own hands in this life), but it still irked him something awful. Stupid Harlequin and his stupid handcrafting skills!!
So when Quin picks up one of the cupcakes and comments upon it's looks, there's a slight twinge of disappointment that it was one of the ones Fai had worked on before he arrived. Perfect opportunity to brag gone! At least Xiaolang made the cute sandwiches, though!!]
You may as well. Her father put a lot of work into those.
[Although, given that they both knew Sakura prior to her adoption, it was obvious Fai wasn't her father by blood. But Iwai gave Xiaolang a good lecture on Thanksgiving for refusing to call him as such and how it was disrespectful, so Xiaolang had been careful over how to refer to him ever since.]
I'm surprised you even made the walk here to begin with.
