"Give us a few more minutes," you say. "We'll be right there."

"Few more minutes?" Cyborg repeats.

"For what...?" Beast Boy says slyly.

"Just stories," you say. "Keep your minds out of the gutters."

"Stories?" the two of them say.

"Can we hear them?" Beast Boy asks.

"Well I don't see why not," you say.

You go to the door and open it, and let the two join you in the room. You sit back down as they sit on the floor, not unlike children at storytime.

"I was telling Raven about Rorek the Third and his expedition into China," you say. "He collapsed from hunger but was saved by a lovely young woman named Li Li, which he would refer to as 'Lily.' Now, Li Li and Rorek the Third fell in love with how the other represented something new, unfamiliar and exciting.

"However, while they were passionately intimate, that was all it was for Rorek the Third. He didn't share Li Li's feelings that were much deeper than attraction. She fell in love with him, and wouldn't let him go. But when her father, who was a high priest of the Shaolin temple, heard of their relationship when Li Li was meant to marry the son of a feudal lord, he was enraged."

"Whoa...!" Beast Boy says. "Drama~...!"

"Yes, in the form of Li Li's father, the monks of the temple, and the soldiers under the feudal lord's comman, all running Rorek the Third out of town. From there, Rorek the Third made the long journey East to the coast of China, took a boat from Shanghai across the sea and to Japan, only to repeat much of the same mistakes. He collapsed from hunger, was rescued by a beautiful young woman named Sakura and charmed her into a physical relationship, only to anger her father, a high priest in a Temple of the Snake, and be run off by the priest, the monks, and an army of poisonous snake familiars."

"Sounds like Rorek the Third was a bit of a player," Beast Boy smirks.

"But you were telling us about two birds with one stone while you visited Asia," Cyborg says. "Reconnecting East and West and what not. Did you mean that you charmed some young girls?"

"Well, I..." you say, feeling a suspicious glance from Raven. "No, that's not the two birds one stone. A less scandalous part of Rorek the Third's story is that he in fact did learn various Eastern magics and philosophies, which he would bring back with him to the West. I did the same on that front, learning the Eastern elemental arts in Japan while learning the wonders of Qigong and chi energies in China, not to mention the various martial arts found in Asia."

"But you still managed to charm some ladies, right?" Beast Boy grins slyly.

You feel Raven's glance becoming more suspicious.

"*Ahem*" you clear your throat. "Rorek the Third managed to head back home by going straight through China but avoiding Li Li's hometown of Urumqi. He did learn his lesson from the two flings he had in Asia, and settled down with just one woman: Grayce Melliar, the first witch to realize witches could fly brooms."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Cyborg says. "How, how do witches do that?"

"One part attunement for levitation magic, one part specially enchanted broom," you say. "Like other great discoveries in history, much of it came from a simple accident. And thus, Rorek the Third was able to live peacefully at home with his internationally famous wife, growing the fame and fortune of the Family of Null. Now, let's eat."

Beast Boy and Cyborg lead the way down the hall towards Ops.

"So... did you charm anyone while in China and Japan?" Raven asks.
