Cup 004: Iroh [In person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Anyone in the cafeteria that night may happen upon Iroh, sitting by himself at the edge of a table.  Tonight's dinner is "Japanese" food.  He has chopsticks in his hands, the cheap, wooden kind one would get at an Asian restaurant.

He unenthusiastically pokes his meal with them.]

I suppose this is supposed to be rice...and sushi...and fish.  But I've never seen anything less like them in my life!

Sounds like a plan to me.

[Gene smiles then realizes that the other may not be familiar with the foods that he mentioned and kicks himself mentally.]

You know, I just realized something and I shouldn't have said what I did earlier. I...uh...made an ass out of myself and I shouldn't have assumed anything.

[Iroh waves a dismissive hand.]

Think nothing of it. We are all having difficulty adapting to the cultures of each others worlds.

At least let me make it up to you somehow. I was rude and obnoxious.

[Then an idea struck him.]

How about before the Prom, we exchange cultural music over drinks?

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

A splendid idea. If you have no objections, I will bring tea for us both. Where would you like to meet?

[eugene-watson.livejournal.com]

The Parlor seems nice and comfortable. And tea sounds great.

[He inclines his head in a shallow bow.]

Before the prom, then. I look forward to it.

[Gene didn't know a lot of people here and making a friend with a common interest was certainly a way to go.]

[enthusiastically] Great!
