The Kempo Master was smiling as he looked out to the sea; the waves crashed
against the shore like a throbbing heartbeat
Shen could feel that pounding, though he couldn't tell the difference between the rhythm of the waves and his own still nervous heart beat, in his mind, he kept pulling back, hopping that Long would get bored and leave him alone.
"The Ocean...mother of life."
//what the hell is he talking about?// Shen asked himself in the dark resses of his mind.
"You know that, right? Life originated in the sea'
Shen's gaze flicked suspiciously at him for a moment.
"When the gentle sea made union with the sun, she created so many beautiful things...and so many monstrosities.
There was no way in hell Shen could resist commenting on that. "Like us."
"And yet...it's sometimes not so easy to tell which is which"
Shen sniggered. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no matter how drunk he is."
"Such wise logic with such crude terming..."
"Real world speak."
"The real world bears such intoxicating..."
"Hmm?"
"Life, is a drug...a wonderful with its good and bad trips...when it's good it's like your are a God...when its bad, it's worse than hell'
Shen was silent for a moment, then spoke up. "Speaking of drugs, you still have my lighter."
'That I do'
"Gonna give it back?"
'...Maybe;
"What do you mean maybe? It's my lighter!"
'Your point being?'
"That I want it back."
'Not good enough;
"Oh and what your idea of good enough." Shen growled.
'You give me what I want, I give you what you want'
"No way in hell."
'Then I'm keeping it'
"Fine, ill just find a new lighter then..." he muttered.
'Alright'
"Well, the stores will be closing soon so id best go..." he said stepping back.
"I don't think so"
"I'm not going to stay here all night."
"..." Long slanted a glance at him, then almost viciously shoved him into the water, smirking
