[It pleases Liem to talk about a mutual acquaintance, even if his relationship with Minegishi is rockier than almost any other relationship he's had since leaving Taldor behind. His expression takes on a wry character as he digs steady little scoops into the soil.]

I appreciate that. You seem quite easy to get along with as well, so I can't imagine what he would have to be cross with you over.

[But truthfully, in his experience, it often just seems like Minegishi is feeling cross and Liem is just coming along for the ride. He's not sure he can recall a conversation that didn't seem to make Minegishi fed up with him at least once.]

Is he a good roommate?
