[The sound of happy, excited barking can be heard on the other side, followed by the quick tap of footsteps and a quiet shushing of the dog, and the door opens shortly after. It's not Leon who answers, but the other resident of the apartment instead, mostly dressed aside from his coat and shoes, trying to hold back a bouncy little poodle from dashing out the doorway with his foot. Xiaolang's face lights up a little in surprise at the sight of Li-Na, however, and lets the dog run out to greet her, thrilled to have this new human in their midst.]

Li-Na! You're here early.

[Not that he's upset about that-- he actually sounds a little pleased. Xiaolang was very much the punctual type, so it was nice to see it was something that ran in the family.]

Ah-- come inside. [He opens the door more fully now, gesturing for her to enter, not even really noticing the hood she had on over her hair. It was cold after all, so she probably wanted to keep warm.] We're almost ready to go, so it shouldn't be too long. I can try to grab him if you want to introduce yourself, though?

[Oh you sweet, naive child]
