"Oh, it is far more complicated than that. One moment," he said before he went to the counter to order the tea that Jin Ling had requested. He did not even bat an eye when he requested the freshest leaves that they had, as if it was the most natural order in the world, though naturally they only had tea available in bags. Ignacio pursed his lips at that development and felt that the young man would not be satisfied with such a thing, and so he offered the barista additional compensation if they were to go out and acquire something better at the luxury tea shop. The native looked hesitant at first before Ignacio said the amount they were willing to give, and then they suddenly agreed eagerly before making haste out the door.

He then returned to sit beside Jin Ling, and crossed one leg over the other before explaining. "The tea will arrive soon enough. Ah, as for Jericho and Edgar... that is a story I should not explain outright, as it may spoil some of the magic for you to discover for yourself. But relationships are rarely so simple. Under the correct circumstances, an enemy can be a friend, yes?"

It pleased him to see Jin Ling was reading the book already, and he did not necessarily want to interrupt that but it would be rude to leave a question unanswered.
