"Hmm, go on," Bastion said, waiting to hear what questions his son might have.
Kai began carefully, "Okay, so I'll start this way, have you ever willingly bent a knee in surrender to someone else?"
Bastion looked at his son, raising his brows in half-awe. "That's a really odd question…"
"I know. I lack a better way to begin," Kai admitted.
Bastion sighed and pulled his chair back from the desk, then settled into it. "Okay, start this way then. First off, tell me why you ask."
Kai took a breath. "I got into a fight with this human, and admittedly he was strong enough to make me transform—"
"Interesting…" Bastion interjected.
"Yes, I know that there are pretty powerful humans as it is. I acknowledge that, but against this guy, I didn't think I'd ever need to transform."
"Go on, Kai…" Bastion said, waiting for his son to get to the point.
