Memories of regret

"You were pretty rough on your opponent. Any particular reason why??"

Dan asks as he and Okoye casually stroll out of the arena.

"Watching Sai today made me realize a couple of things."

Okoye remarks placing her hands in her jean pockets.

"Things like what?"

Dan asks.

"Like the fact that an individual tends to he stronger when fighting for a reason, especially when that reason happens to be a deep one. It was a beautiful thing watching Sai fight today."

Okoye remarks.

"You are worried that when you guys meet, you'd have to make the hard choice and kick him out."

Dan remarks with a slight sigh.

"How did you know??"

Okoye asks.

"It was clear to see from your expression."

Dan replies casually.

"Then why the question??.. Why did you ask when you knew what I was thinking."

Okoye asks again.

"To see if you would be forthcoming with your thoughts. Anyways it doesn't matter."
