[Xiaolang makes to shut the door behind Li-Na once she enters (no reason to have the rest of the house be as cold as it was outside--), before calling back over his shoulder to Leon:]
Yeah, she's here!
[As Leon makes his way through the apartment, and Li-Na greets the dog, Xiaolang reaches over to the coat rack and plucks off the hand-knit green scarf hanging there. He's carefully winding it around his neck by the time his older cousin finally joins them, and he glances over, mentally preparing the formal introductions already. In a weird way, he was sort of relieved Leon had joined Retrospec before the holidays, as trying to explain how he and Li-Na met and found out they were related was easier now than when he didn't have it. Li-Na seemed like a good person, and she was part of his father's side of the family, so he hoped Leon would like her too. Xiaolang opens his mouth, getting ready to speak--
.... and then these two assholes just greet one another like they're passing each other on the way to class, and Xiaolang can't help but boggle at them for a good moment or so.]
Wait, hold on--
[He places a hand on top of the one Li-Na's using to hold up the treats, pushing it down slightly, shooting her a testy look before shooting a more irritable one at Leon.]
You two already met? [Not as if he was keeping it a secret from them or anything, but--] How come neither of you ever told me?
