"Helpless" is not a common situation for Sunshine. At least not in this context. But she is. Pinned down, on her back, immobilized, unable to really move or hope to get away.

At least until Terry wakes up from his nap.

It's probably Sunshine's own fault for the child falling asleep on her as they rested on the couch following an afternoon of playing outside. Some naps even the most interesting story can't hold back.

The fair-haired toddler snoozes with his head resting on her shoulder, half of one of the couch's throw-blankets draped over them.

At least Sunshine had thought to have a book with her. She reclines against the armrest, holding the book open with one hand so she might read, the other hand idly stroking the back of one of the bar cats who had taken advantage of the situation and had settled in.

Unsurprisingly, Sunshine finds her own focus difficult to maintain, even for a favorite novel. Some days are just good days for naps.

"What is kiwi?" Ye Baiyi asks.
old_monster: (Are you trying to make problems?)

"The taste is slightly tart, and it is very juicy and will always drip?" Ye Baiyi says. "That sounds like a yang tao to me. They grow in the region of the Yellow River. I had them."
old_monster: (You are funny)

"Yang tao boba it will be, then!" Ye Baiyi declares. "We will need instructions on how to make them, though."

"Research!" Ye Baiyi says. "Let's research, and then let's experiment!"

Never mind the bar can provide them with boba made perfectly to specification -- finding out yourself and mastering the technique is much more fun!
