[ she browses a menu for a moment, then nods. ]

Anything with ginger in it will likely give you the kick you're looking for. Also, the tea eggs here are delicious and quite spicy.

[batwave]

[Bruce glances back at his menu to get an idea of what she's talking about. But he's quick to set it aside.]

Thank you.

[Manners, Bruce.]

I'm Bruce and you?

[suoxi]

Inara Serra.

[ she gives him a polite smile, and tips her head. ]

Are you new here?

[batwave]

Pleasure.

[He chuckles at her question.]

Hope I'm not too obvious.

[suoxi]

Not terribly. [ she leans back as a tray is brought to her table, a cup set in front of her and hot water poured into it by a kedan clad in traditional oriental garb. ]

Toa chie. [ she smiles softly at the kedan, then bows her head before the server walks away. ]

Though I'm sure all of us were fairly obvious when we were new, like it or not. We certainly all seem to have the same questions.

[batwave]

That's good then. It means I'm blending in. [For a foreigner anyway. Just the way Bruce wanted it.] Are you adjusting well?

[suoxi]

Well enough.

[ she sips at her tea and sighs happily, pleased with her selection. ]

It's difficult to initially settle, honestly - the story is a bit outrageous, I admit.

[batwave]

It is.

[Especially when you're apparently someone's double.]

But so far it hasn't been a terrible vacation.

[suoxi]

No, not at all. It could absolutely be worse.

[ she gestures – they’re still talking across two tables. ]

Would you care to join me? I’ve quite some time before I must be somewhere.

[batwave]

I wouldn't want to impose if you're expecting someone.

[Yes he would like to join her.]

[suoxi]

It's quite all right. I have some spare time and I wouldn't mind the company.

[ she gestures again. ]

Please, have a seat.

[batwave]

[Well, in that case, Bruce eases into the chair across from Inara with a smile.]

Thank you. This is much better than eating alone.

[suoxi]

[ Inara nods and smiles, and pushes the teapot in his direction. ]

Agreed. I prefer companionship over a meal. There's nothing quite like a good meal and good conversation.
