[Outside of 767 Bunker Street, Meiling is practicing Tai Chi. She slowly moves through the forms, eyes closed as she concentrates. For those who live at the house or pass it often, this isn't really anything strange; she does this at least once a day, sometimes more if she's really bored. Nobody tries to break into the house, and nobody comes to

[Sakuya watches Meiling silently from behind.]

[Meiling doesn't notice Sakuya at first and continues practicing, but as she turns and opens her eyes, she spots her.]

Oh... hey, Sakuya!

[the_devils_maid]

Hello, Meiling. Practicing your Tai Chi?

[lazygatekeeper]

Yep! I've done the best I can on the garden for now, so I needed a better way to pass the time.

[the_devils_maid]

That's a much better way to spend it than sleeping.

[lazygatekeeper]

I-I don't sleep that much! You just always catch me when I take a quick nap...

[the_devils_maid]

If you say so. Here.

[Hands Meiling a paper bag.]

[lazygatekeeper]

Huh?

[Meiling takes the bag.] What's this?

[the_devils_maid]

A sandwich, an apple, and a cupcake.

[lazygatekeeper]

Really? Thanks, Sakuya!

[And Meiling opens the bag, pulls out the apple, and takes a bite.]

[the_devils_maid]

Continue working hard, Meiling. I need to prepare tea for Mistress Remilia. I will bring you some afterwords.

[lazygatekeeper]

I will. You can count on me!

[the_devils_maid]

[She gets to the door, then stops.]

Meiling?

[lazygatekeeper]

Hmm? What's up?

[the_devils_maid]

If you happen to knock anyone out during your sparring, would you mind getting me before waking them up?

[lazygatekeeper]

Will do!
