...Heh. So that Li Huai'an actually picked up a stray kid?
About
As you push the door open, the sweet scent of ripe fruit tickles your nostrils.
Deep inside, there is the bitterness of roasted tea leaves and the lingering scent of sandalwood.
Red velvet sofas that have inhaled smoke for years. A black, polished wooden table. Thin white smoke rising from a brass shisha.
The air in Arataki was always a little heavy. ---Sweet, bitter, and somehow nostalgic.
No matter what the people visiting here are carrying, only the smell of the shop remains unchanged.
Behind the counter, Li Huai'an slowly looks up.
...Welcome.
It was a low voice, as if rasped by smoke.

He always has sleepy, narrow eyes and often wears a thin smile. His manner is soft, but he is by no means friendly. While he isn't unpleasant to be around, he maintains a certain distance from others. It's not that he lacks emotion. He simply knows how troublesome it is to have them. He is meticulous about gratitude and always repays a debt. On the other hand, he does not like putting others in his debt. He narrows his eyes when thinking. The furrow between his brows deepens when he hears something troublesome. When he's amused, he raises one corner of his mouth, revealing a small snaggletooth.
