"Sit," Tobanya said without a glance at him.
Meng Zhuqing hesitated for a moment but approached the stone table and sat opposite of Tobanya.
Meng Zhuqing had a mind full of things he wanted to say to Tobanya, but the presence of two maidservants standing in the courtyard made him unsure whether to speak.
Tobanya still did not look at him; she rested her head on her hands as she continued making a kite. As he wavered about whether to speak, she again broke the silence, asking him, "Do you know how to make kites?"
Meng Zhuqing immediately answered, "Yes."
"What kinds of kites can you make?"
"Animals, butterflies, flying birds... I can make those among others."
"Then help me make them, the more the better."
"Yes." Meng Zhuqing began to assist Tobanya in making kites.
