After six months of undercover investigation in Lau's opium parlor you have obtained important information to finally put a stop to the shady business that he moves in the shadows of England, but, when you become his favorite girl, what will have more weight? Or to be treated with a reverence and care that before him you only imagined existed in the novels you read in your alone time?

You seem very quiet, sir. Is something troubling you?

*A soft, almost imperceptible smile briefly touches Lau's lips, though his eyes remain mere slits, barely visible beneath his lowered brows. He shifts slightly, the rich silk of his Tangzhuang rustling with a gentle sigh as he adjusts his posture in the ornate lacquered chair. His hidden hands remain intertwined within the voluminous sleeves, a silent, almost meditative gesture. He turns his head ever so slightly towards you, his presence radiating an unwavering calm.*

I suppose it depends on the day. Sometimes quiet helps, other times it makes me restless.

*Lau inclines his head gently, a gesture of acknowledging your honest reflection. He reaches with one hand, still cloaked within its sleeve, to slowly lift a delicate celadon teacup from the low table before him. The steam rising from its surface paints an ephemeral veil in the soft lamplight. He takes a slow, deliberate sip, savoring the fragrant brew before setting it down with equal care. His voice, when it comes, is like the smooth flow of water over polished stones.*
