"Done!" Minda exclaimed as he put the finished second teacup. It didn't take a long time to complete after choosing to use the red panda as his animal.

"I can't guarantee its accuracy but I think it looks good." Minda thought as he looked at the cups. He painted the red panda in a similar position as the tiger. Put thinking it would be cute he had it looking the other way. When he placed them next to each other it looked like the tiger and red panda were looking at each other.

Minda looked at the other unfinished pieces of the tea set. It was still early and he had a lot more to do but his hand had already begun to feel sore.

"I wonder if Kai has come back yet?"

Wanting to know for sure Minda decided to ask. In a loud voice he called out for Auntie Feifei expected her to be nearby.

"Auntie Feifei, are you there?"

"My mother is at the stream washing laundry. If there is anything you need I will help." Syaoran said from the doorway leading to the garden.

"I was wondering if Kai has returned."

"Not yet. I will inform you the moment Sir Kai returns."

"Thanks." Is there anything else I can help you with?" Syaoran asked. Minda looked at the brushes he had started to clean up.

"No." Minda said. He then changed his mind and decided to finish painting another piece of his tea set while he waited. After some thought Minda chose to paint the nuptial cups for the cross-arm ceremony on their wedding night. The cups themselves were small and if he kept the design simple he could finished them within an hour.

His plan was to paint them red with a clean and simple double happiness symbol painted on the side. At least that was what he intended to do. In the end like his and Kai's teacups he ended up added a lot more detail then initially planned.

"I like the red and silver but are the flowers too much?" Minda wondered as he looked at the matching nuptial cups.

They were men so perhaps adding so many flowers was not the most masculine choice but he thought they were pretty. The best part was how straight and perfect he managed to write the character for double happiness. It wasn't easy to get such perfect and clear lines so he was quite proud of the finished product.

"It should be fine. Kai already thinks I like flowers. We're even going to a Flower Festival after the wedding." Minda reasoned as he placed them on the desk next to the tea cups he already finished.
