Yuliya stood up from the couch "Why are you in a hurry? Stay for a bit... I will make something for you to drink."
Zhao Tian gave her the blankest stare he'd worn all day.

Yuliya ignored it entirely. She was already moving as she headed toward the archway at the far end of the hall.
"Come on," she called over her shoulder without looking back. "You can watch if you're worried I'll poison you. Or maybe you just like the view."
Zhao Tian exhaled softly, but he followed.
The kitchen opened off the main hall, and a single viewport ran along the back wall, giving a panoramic view of drifting moon debris and the slow turn of stars.
Yuliya rolled up the loose sleeves of her robe to her elbows, revealing the faint pink scars from their duel already fading to nothing, and began moving around the kitchen.
Zhao Tian leaned back against the doorway frame, watching her in silence.
