[Yu Gun will be his new name if we end up giving this ye olde a glock. Petition for the mods to make this happen.
She's momentarily surprised by how well he seems to take the mix-up, before she just rolls with it. Goood.]

Should I take off my shoes? [ teasing. ] Nice to meet you, Sheila - I'll hold you to it.
[ he touches his hand to his heart! touched! and being playful. ]
I'm charmed by your hospitality, nevertheless. [ teehee. gu yun gestures forward! let's go check out the house. ] Do you live with your family, Sheila? It's a nice place.
[Lightly joking, but there is absolutely a wall full of them as they walk further into the house. All of them feature Sheila, a young redhaired girl, and a significantly taller older man — or some combination of them.]

Suppose that's the benefit of no longer being able to go outside.
[ does he pass the test. ] I've never seen a home that looks quite like this before. Where are you from?
