That'll be a good first step.

Getting up early?

Shows dedication and commitment.

Good thing she already does that.

A solid foundation, like she said.

And what comes next?

That would spoil the surprise.

Fu Bai can keep her secrets for the moment, then.

How kind of the young rascal to indulge an old dog.

That's Lily - polite and respectful to her elders.

Fu Bai is certainly finding her so.

Good. 

Just the image she was intending to present?

Yes.

Best foot forward, eh?

Her intent. 

Here's to her intent, then. Fu Bai lifts her mug in a toast.

She raises hers to match.

Clink! And drain the glasses.

A good way to finish up. 

It is.

And now it's getting to about the time of her prior appointment.

Is Lily invited along? 

If she wants to be.

She does. 

Then they should get moving. The meeting is at the Bee and Barb.
