The whole date went sideways. The mist monsters, the fight. The searing pain. But it had its good points - or good point. Nhysa was a great companion. And after dropping the wounded girl off at Li was certain was a black market doctor. He'd visited a few of them over the years. And he felt like he needed one though there was nothing visibly wrong with him - except maybe a little bruising where Nhysa had saved his life. But a little makeup and a high collar would fix that, And for now, he didn't really care anyway.
It was dark. The quiet of the streets wasn't really quiet but it gave them much time to be alone. The darkness seemed to bring Nhysa out more. Not that she had been shy or timid before she just seemed to have different energy now than before.
There was a point after leaving the treacherous one at the hospital and they were alone that Li wanted to take her hand and be the childish giddy fool he was feeling. It wasn't everyday that an everyday walk with a normal person didn't turn into a gawkfest. Being famous had it's drawbacks. A few looked, most didn't care. And it was dark so it could just be the trick of the eye. Sometimes Li used his power to trick them more, but he didn't dare draw upon the gift the memories still too painful.
The dojo drew near and Li finally took her hand. "This is me." He led her down the alley to the side entrance. When he bought the dojo he also bought the whole building creating his permanent living space in Moscow above the dojo - he could be near and still have the lifestyle he was accustom too. "You will see me inside? I owe you a drink for saving my life." He gave her a sly smile. He was tired. His head hurt but he enjoyed her company and didn't want the night to end.

“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
