Roland was a little surprised to see Lan, although he had somehow predicted that she would e. He asked, "Who are you exactly?"
"A person who needs help," Lan said while looking around. "I understand you have a lot of questions for me. We can sit down and have a chat. Let's sit over there by the window."
"Don't we need to go to Room 302?" Roland asked as he watched Lan take the seat.
"The reason I asked you to meet me here is to avoid curious ears. Since nobody's here, just take a seat you like," Lan said casually. "By the way, as this is a coffeeshop, can I have an ice coffee?"
"I thought you were disclosing a big secret to me, so I've been very cautious, making sure that nobody will overhear us."
"A secret will only bee a secret when the eavesdropper recognizes its value. I monitor the Erosion underground every day and do need to take a break from time to time," Lan said gracefully. "One ice coffee, please."
Roland gazed at her for a second and then grumbled, "I only have instant coffee here."
"That's fine."

"I don't know about that," Roland said, his eyes fixed on Lan resolutely. "I once asked Garcia to contact you and went to the Prism City twice, but you vanished. Why didn't you talk to me? Why did you just leave me a note?"
Lan lapsed into a short silence before she answered on a sigh, "Because we weren't ready yet at that time, child."
Weren't ready? A little astonished, Roland pursued, "You mean you've been waiting for me to find out about the Bloody Moon, well, the Erosion myself?"
"You're quite smart. I now expect more from you."
"Expect what from me?" Roland grunted. "You don't look like a person who needs help."
"Then what should I do to convince you? Do I have to beg and cry for your help? Or you want a reward from me?" Lan said while shaking her head. "No, I don't think you'd trust me even I did so. That'll only push you away."
Roland wanted to joke around, saying "You never know
