Liu Kang: Is it true that Shaolin monks take a vow of celibacy? Was it difficult for you and Kung Lao to choose to break it?
“From the time we are young, we are made aware of the dangers of... Temptation. How it clouds the mind, what untamed passion does to the soul.” The young man sat cross-legged upon stone, hands in his lap.
“I cannot say that it was easy, the weight of such a vital teaching of our hanging over us like that. but...” The brunette took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts to speak again.
“We have found that a bond such as ours, it nurtures us. Makes us stronger. It is more than infatuation. To make the choice was a natural progression. Never something to be taken lightly, yet something that felt right, even if tradition did not come to the same judgement. I have no regrets, and neither does he.” That is a certainty within Liu Kang’s mind, for he knows Kung Lao’s heart, and the same can be said in the reverse.
