The day had been long and full of A LOT OF TRAINING (please don't make him do more, shifu). Wen Kexing had gone to town for some reason and Chengling is left with the task of trying to make dinner. Needless to say, there is no meat to be had for this meal. He makes sure it's all set out and ready before he goes in search of his master.
Zishu has been meditating, enjoying the rare quiet without Wen Kexing around to fill it - a lie, he honestly does like the playful banter the other man teases him with. The call for dinner draws him back, though he doesn't immediately acknowledge his disciple. The bow, he can tell there's a bow, is likely correct and proper.
But he draws in a breath and opens his eyes to study the youth, expression neutral as he considers what to have the young man do next. But Chengling has cooked, so he will at least give it a try, so he nods and pushes himself to his feet. As long as it isn't raw, he'll force himself to eat, with his senses going...taste has fled. Even the stronger flavors barely make an impression now.
"Ah." He does make a show of looking for Kexing as he follows to where Chengling has laid out their meal. "He hasn't returned?"
Chengling isn't very good at cooking still but he's been practicing and he tries his best, of course. He is sure this is at least serviceable. He hopes so anyway... He nearly lets relief flood his face when the other gets up at least he'll try to eat what Chengling made. He bows again when they get to where the food is laid out, waiting for Zishu to settle.
"No, not yet," Chengling frowns. "Should he be back by now?"
