Magic! Again! Not jutsu! But it was still somewhat similar, just as Lloyd's and Flora's skills had been. As someone who was an intense studier of jutsu back home, Lee found all of these amazing new powers fascinating. When the Shadow smiled at him, Lee found himself smiling back. If he wasn't being told by Facilier himself that what he saw was real, then Lee might have thought it was because he had hit his head too hard.

Lee listened with rapt attention to Facilier's story, feeling some sadness for the man and his Shadow. How strange it must be to have people think you are bad just because you are born with a skill or special power! But prejudice was everywhere and often in places where it made sense the least. Lee nodded, though he quickly stopped and grimaced when his visions started blurring.

"Y-yes, I understand. I would never break the confidence of a friend!" Lee smiled weakly but with honestly. "I will not say a work about your Shadow, I swear on my Will of Fire!"

Then Lee attempted to stand, and he managed remarkably well with only a bit of teetering. Then, with his bleeding hand, he reached for one of his sleeves and ripped it easily from the seams of his shirt. Balling the cloth in his hand, he hoped it might help stop the rest of the bleeding somewhat so they could continue on without any more delays. "Where shall we head next?"
