Li smiled at the mention of her name and he filed it away for later, he also got confirmation that she was indeed her boss. Information was piling up and soon he'd know what happened to the wolfkin from Almaz. Disappearing was not something they did.

Claire teased the hair at the back of his head and Li had to fight the manly urges that came with women. It was more difficult when there was a pretty woman sitting next to him but he was in control of his body - all of it.

Li wondered if this woman thought she could actually read the future on the palm of his hand. There were prophets in the world - real ones - ones that truly did see into the future. It might be beneficial to know one or two of them - the Atharim could use a prophet to predict their future to control the monster incursions. But the Atharim frowned upon using the so-called monsters as tools. Li never really understood the dogma that said all monsters should die and yet they worked closely with the Furia. The Atharim were only slightly hypocritical. Which is the only thing that allowed Li to continue working with them. One day they might embrace the differences in humans - the gifts that the power truly was, or the sight of prophets, or the feelings of the Sentients and even the ability to track as well as any wolfkin. One day...

Li held his hand out and placed it palm up into the tender fingers of Claire. "Dazzle me, oh wise prophetess, with your words of wisdom."
Li teased with a bowing of his head and a wide smile.
“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
