Patrick sat in the cafe, carefully observing Shifu that was calmly drinking the tea.
A part of him resented the man that was sitting across of him, for the said man had spent more time with his son than he, himself had done.
Had it been a mistake to agree to Kyle's request all those years ago to seek out this man and persuade him to be his son's teacher?
Shifu had been Kyle's teacher for only 6 years, yet Kyle never broke contact with Shifu. In fact, Patrick even found it amazing that Shifu never returned to his home country, but chose to stay - even coincidentally settling in the same city that Kyle studied in.
He was jealous of the bond that seemed to be there between the two and he never did anything to discourage it. After all, a teacher of martial arts was like a second father in the olden days.
With the amount of training that Kyle went through under Shifu, it was most likely that such a bond was created as well.
