Kuren glanced at Igor. This kid is really something, he thought. He'd managed to make obstinate Kadi completely agreeable in the blink of an eye. This took some serious skill.
Kadi's obstinacy was famous throughout Guru Mountain. Everyone knew he always liked to question 'why,' bouncing from one topic to another, questioning absolutely everything.

Sometimes, Kadi asked about common knowledge and would persistently badger on until he got an answer, which could often become unbearable.
Luckily, Igor had arrived, effortlessly dispensing with Kadi's plethora of questions and saving a lot of time in the process.
