( a book wouldn't be entirely amiss. he was able to read thickly-inked writing by touch back home in their realm, and if such a thing doesn't exist here, there are a couple of people he could potentially petition to read it to him.
that said, meat is certainly a fine gift as well, all things considered. the delightful smell of it greets xingchen as soon as he opens the door, though he pays it no mind just yet in favor of offering the man a welcoming smile and stepping back to open the door a bit wider for him. ) Wen-xiong, come in. I've put on tea, if you'd like some, ( he says, waiting for wen ning to enter and then closing the door behind him. ) And that's your gift right there on the table - you can take the containers with you, I've far too many of them. ( xingchen may or may not have gone overboard on ryslig-brand tupperware. it's fine.

before heading in that direction, himself, xingchen detours to the kitchen to collect two mugs from within the cupboard and the teapot from the stove, which are brought to the table as well. wen ning doesn't have to pour himself some, if he'd prefer not to have any. )
