Love of the Dragon Warrior

Lightning Round

Eventually, the group's relaxing morning had to end when the afternoon smells from the various restaurants and bakeries began to reach everyone's noses and started to make them hungry for lunch. They made their way back to the shore and tied the boats to a post so that the boatman could come and collect them later. They then went back through the woods and up to the Jade Palace where they found Viper making lunch. Everyone ate and made small talk before the masters left to resume training, leaving Po and the girls alone for the afternoon. Madame Zhou decided to make some tea for everyone and the group wound up just making some small talk and hanging out in the kitchen for the rest of the day. Everyone was still a bit traumatized by Song's accident, especially the people who physically witnessed the outcome, but as a week moved into two, they slowly began to feel better and began to move back to their normal activity. One particular morning after Po hung out in his room for a bit, he finally looked back at his list which he hadn't touched in some time and came up with a fun idea: 60 questions.

"Oh! We played that when I first got here!" Destiny pointed out excitedly.

"Yeah," Po concurred. "I thought maybe we could have some tea and snacks in my room and then just go around and answer some ice breaker questions. That might help us get to know each other better. Not that we don't know anything after a month or so, but it'd be something to do."

"I'm down for that," Jai-Rong told him. "I'll make some tea."

"How personal are the questions?" Tai Lin asked cautiously. "I'm not really into overly personal details."

"I just thought about general questions about our life or something. If you guys knew kung fu masters, favorite places as kids, things that are annoying...stuff like that."

Tai Lin frowned in thought, was quiet for a moment while everyone else agreed, and then finally agreed to the game.

"If I accidentally ask a too personal question though you can skip it," Po promised, which made Tai Lin look relieve. "I tried to pick questions that weren't embarrassing, but I can't vouch for everyone on that."

A half hour later, two pots of tea had been brewed for the giant group and they had settled into Po's room with some almond cookies ready to start the game.

"What questions do you have?" Destiny asked. "I know I asked some weird ones...."

"Your questions seemed fine to me," Po promised. He grabbed a second list which he had made beforehand and sat down on the floor to read it out loud while some of the girls settled on the floor as well or sat down on Po's bed. Po looked at this list and proceeded to ask the first question which was indeed pretty generic: what month were they born?

"I honestly don't know my real birthdate," Po admitted, starting off the questions himself. "But dad said that he thinks I was around six months old when he found me, so he just made it November."

"That's cute," Ordai gushed. "I was born in March."

"Oh cool! Me too!" Lam said.

"I was born in October!" Destiny exclaimed excitedly. "That's pretty close to Po!"

"What about you, Lu-Shi?" Xiao-Niao asked.

"January," Lu-Shi said proudly. "I was born at midnight of the new year!"

"That's so cool!" Destiny shrieked excitedly.

"I was born in April," Xiao-Niao offered.

"June," Jai-Rong said.

"I was born in September," Madame Zhou said. "How about you, Kay dear?"

Kay jumped upon being suddenly addressed, but quietly said, "May."
