> It's kind of funny how Liu Xi adopted Chiaki as a model of that. Probably because Liu Xi started to recognize her own failings (temper and impatience) and sees how well the samurai controls both, and gains respect. And even more so considering that Chiaki has no brute force type of power to make anyone do as she wants.

Noted.

Proceed.

> That's probably why Lara feels he's unfit for his job. The one thing she hates most is when someone tells her, "Do what I tell you because I'm stronger and I'll punish you if you don't". If she has some kind of reason, even if it's incomplete, she doesn't need that. Which is why at this point she's more willing to cooperate with the Hooded Hood than the Chronicler.
> But Lara doesn't want to be his enemy, though. He's trying to make her into one, it seems. She just wants to know what's going on, and perhaps offer help or a better solution.
