She prepared to play another game before she felt the feeling of eyes staring down at her. Slowly her eyes moved to see the person watching her. She blinked lightly.
Her voice came out, monotone, frail, but audible all the same. "...can I help you...?"
The turned to see her fully, putting the quarter back in the pocket of her jacket.

Li-Mei stared at the stranger a little bit longer before the woman finally turned around to face her.
"...can I help you...?"
There was something that intrigued the toddler. She could sense something about her. She couldn't understand what it is.
"Do you play games?" She finally asked.
Xianlong was still looking around, searching for her cousin. The little girl could not have wandered off too far.

She nodded in response, slowly lowering herself to meet her level. She couldn't keep her darker nature around this child, yet she couldn't help but still look empty on the outside, it wasn't her decision.
Regardless, she looked over the child. "...are you lost...? It isn't good to be here all alone..."

"Big Cousin is arguing with red lady." Li-Mei stated as a matter-of-fact. "Baba and Mama argue a lot. I don't like it."

"You're here with your cousin...?" She raised her head slightly to look around. "...I apologize, however I am uncertain on how to aid on this situation, I...don't particularly have any form of family." She returned to look at the child. "...do you want me to take you back to your cousin...?"

"...I apologize, however I am uncertain on how to aid on this situation, I...don't particularly have any form of family."
"You must be sad." Li-Mei said bluntly.
"...do you want me to take you back to your cousin...?"
The small girl shook her head. "No... I don't want to see people argue!"

"Sad...?" She titled her head slightly, she didn't exactly know about...emotions like sadness. Hearing her not want to hear the others argue made her feel a slight bit concerned, though her face couldn't show it.
"I see...I am unsure if you should stay with me...as I intend to leave soon..." She slipped her hands into her pockets.

Li-Mei nodded. "Maybe you're not sad. I feel sad sometimes. I would be sad if I didn't have family."
"I see...I am unsure if you should stay with me...as I intend to leave soon..."
"I'll just wait for Baba to come get me." She crosses her arms.
Finally, Xianlong found her cousin.
"THERE YOU ARE! LI-MEI! OH MY GOD! You can't just wander off like that!"
"You were fighting with Katya."
"...I'm sorry..."
Xianlong then focused on Naomi. "I'm sorry... well, my cousin likes to run off."

She nods.
"It's alright. She caused no issue...though...she feels worried about the current situation in regards to her parents..." She lightly scratched the back of her neck. "I have no way to aid...but I'm sure something could change in order to help..."

"It's alright. She caused no issue...though...she feels worried about the current situation in regards to her parents..."
Xianlong nodded. She then covered the child's ears in order to fully explain the situation.
"Her parents aren't on the best of terms. They are divorced, and well... her mother cheated on her father and they are both still pretty mad about that. My Uncle has tried to move on and include her mother on things, but her mother is just generally angry and hostile toward him. And sometimes my Uncle does get mad, since she did cheat on him. It's a really awful situation."
Lei and Pai weren't divorced, but it was close enough.
"I have no way to aid...but I'm sure something could change in order to help..."
"I don't know if that is even possible. Maybe until Pai can accept that Li-Mei is my Uncle's child, and not her husband's kid, the man whom she cheated on my Uncle with, they won't be butting heads as much. Or until my Uncle can accept that his ex-wife cheated on him. Maybe she'll get older and understand things better. I'd hate to be there when Uncle Wulong reveals to her the truth."
