[The night of the dinner with everyone, Yanli made a few dishes early and packed them up carefully in a basket and tucking in a small blanket to keep anything from moving around too much or getting cold.
And then, sword in hand to put her brothers at ease if need be, she makes her way to visit Meng Yao, knocking lightly at his door after a bit of wandering.]
[She is so sweet and good that just speaking to her makes him feel guilty. When he answers the door, he bows his head immediately, stepping aside to let her in.]
Please make yourself at home, Lady Jiang. [The young ferrets are scampering around, playing with a fuzzy toy. Tug of war is a serious game!] You are so kind to come all this way.
[The babies pause when they notice a new person. New person, new person! They hurry to her, curling around her feet. Meng Yao smiles helplessly and gently takes the basket.]
I'm sure we will. Thank you for thinking of us.
[Setting the basket aside, he bends down and lifts Hua and Hui into his arms, cradling their little feet with his arm.]
[As soon as they start curling around her feet and when he picks them up, she can't help but laugh softly at how precious they are.]
Hua and Hui. It's nice to meet you both. [She reaches out, offering them a hand first like she would have with Cheng's dogs when they were younger.] I've never seen anything like them before.

She's careful not to get in the way of their playing as she steps inside, holding the basket up in offering.]
I packed it all so it would stay warm. There's even some chicken on top for them, so they aren't left out. I hope you'll enjoy it.
