"I think that you and I need to have a little talk about what powers are going to develop, but that will have to be saved for some time when Chao is here," said Liu Wei.
I chuckled. "Chao?" I said and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"He might be my boss, but I've been with that man since I was 9 years old and he was 10. We went to school together, and boot camp together. We have been through thick and thin... together. I think that gives me the ability to call him by name among friends."
"Are you among friends?" I ask, my head tilted. He was still sitting on the coffee table in front of me, holding my hands in his.
"Well, I am pretty sure that I don't hold my friends' hands like this, but yes, I consider you a good friend,"
I nodded my head in reply. Maybe step one could be somewhat adjusted… just a little. But I still think that the majority of people needed to burn.
