She digs in her pack and shows the blasting bracelet, without handing it over yet. "The dirty mags please."

She looks at Xue Yang. "If you're not going to pay, please leave. I have others I'm doing business with."

"But I want more chocolate."

"Then I'll thank you to pay for it like a civilized person."

Nie Huaisang hands over the ones he has on him. "You can come back to my room to trade them if you don't like them, I was mostly expecting to work out of my room so I don't have a lot of stock."

Okay, he wants to sell this blasting bracelet expensively enough that he can impress Isabel and still get a nice cut for his own stockpiles. New York? New York is full of rich kids who don't know the value of money.

"I don't pay for things."

Wow, impressive, this kid is deader than he is.

"Thank you, I think that's all for now then." She starts gathering up the dishes and putting them into her pack, moka pot first.

"No, I want to try coffee! I've never had it before. School is all about learning new things, right?"

She downs her own cup of coffee and puts the cup away in her pack, then gestures to the four remaining (small) cups of coffee on the table. "Help yourself, then."

He considers this and then downs all four cups of coffee at once.

Lily laughs. "See you around, ah - I didn't catch your name."

"Nie Huaisang. I hope to see you again."
