But Liu Xi was never rude about it though. She just accidentally burned to death one person and killed the woman in stasis because she believed it was for survival. Not because it made her feel powerful or superior.
> In fact if you take a look at the LL there are far more candidates for villainy than what we've seen Tom do so far.

If you go that far you might also have to consider that the Psychic Samurai as an associate of a known criminal (as endlessly polite and patient she always is). And that Lara Night had a mysterious incident of having to kill someone but doesn't want to talk about it much - and she seems to understand the Hooded Hood a bit too much.
Speaking of which...Lara also happens to be an illegal with unregistered and powerful abilities. She might be difficult to deport though.

Once again this brings up just where Lara Night would rate on Sir Mumphrey's threat scale - depending on how much he knows about what she's capable of, and what she's done in the past. Because she's friendly now, but if he's paranoid enough he might not believe she always will be, or suspect her of alternate motives. She does seem to understand the Hooded Hood a bit too much.

It's a tough one for him. Liu Xi is only his friend yet a loyal one...but he doesn't get a chance with a demon temptress too often. Though since he's into the dark arts he probably knows what she is and doesn't want to get himself in trouble. Or maybe he's just afraid Liu Xi will hurt him.
