Description (At the Heylin Restaurant

I believe it’s customary for the youngest to pour tea for his or her elders. I think.

I’m guessing at the characters for Heylin (黑林Black Forest). There never seemed to be an official Chinese equivalent. But then, Xiaolin Showdown has a liberal dose of pseudo-Chinese. Like, my dad’s just like “What’d they say?” whenever he watched the show with me.

飲茶 (yum cha) is a favorite pastime of mine. Back in New York City, nothing was more relaxing than going out and sitting in a tea parlor with the old man, old lady, and sister. Ever since visiting Hong Kong, though, I’ve gotta say my love for it has dropped, especially since my granny and aunt take us out for tea every day. Like clockwork. Hahaha.

I suppose it could've been worse. At least Jack didn't end up splashing the tea on Chase's lap. (Now THAT would've been a disaster for everyone involved.)

As much as I laughed at this pic (which you did a wonderful job of drawing by the way) I've gotta know how on earth Jack managed to talk both Chase AND Wuya into having tea with him (because I would certainly never trust to be around Jack Spicer and fine china - at the same time) O.O

Glad you like it!
We may never know why they wanted to have tea together. Maybe the restaurant is a popular hangout for the Heylin folk.

For some unknown reason, that just made me picture Tubbymura and Hannibal sipping tea and chatting. No idea where that thought came from. O.O

I've heard that thing about the youngest pouring tea as well, and I think this whole set-up is just awesome. Oh, Jack, Wuya's correct, you can't do anything right, but we LOVE you anyways! Chase's "I am not amused" expression just killed me.

My interest for Chinese culture is rejuvenated Funny how I like to look at Chinese art but never bother to google Chinese culture. I'm the only one in the family who can't speak Chinese cause of my terrible childhood past that involved well, the way I was ... Asian (sigh) Oh well, I have time to learn.

The tea-set looks a little to delicate to be poured by a certain evil boy genius -3-

I like looking at Chinese art as well! Especially Han dynasty clothing. Haha, my Cantonese is awful. And my Mandarin is worse, if that's even possible, so don't despair! Always time to learn, yep.

Too delicate, indeed.

And that's why Jack isn't allowed near hot water, ever again. Next he'll smash the teapot and crack the cups.

Oh wow...This is incredible! The shading and everything is exquisite. And plus, this so would happen if Jack tried to pour tea. :^)
