You can have tea too! You just need to have something with it!
Aish, what's she going to do with this girl that she's only just met but already adopted? Why fuss over her and make sure that things are okay in the future. That's what. Then there's a pause. Oooh learning time?
What's a niángniang?
[Not that she was worried about it being rude. She wasn't. It's just that there's only so much she can get based off of tone. So why not learn something new about New Friend?]
Right? It tastes just like one of my mama's side dishes despite looking nothing like it!
[New Friend seems to be the Very Polite sort who uses Lots of Manners. That's fine! Usagi might be loud and a little brash on occasion, but Ikuko-mama didn't actually raise a boar. Though she interprets the little dip as a small sort of bow, so naturally Usagi has to return the gesture. It's only polite! Which is why...]
Li-san it is then! [See? She can do politeness. Won't insist on the informalness she would normally. Since it feels like something that would make Ne- no, Li-san uncomfortable.]
So I'm older! [She won't take advantage of this fact. At least... not right now.] That means I have to keep an eye out for you. It's only right!
[A pause, before a sunny smile. This isn't awkward at all. For Usagi anyway. Usually the only things she finds awkward are when she's extra ditzy or clumsy.]

Don't worry, I'm a lot tougher than I look.
