*The sun beats down on the fields of Earthrealm, where Kung Lao and you temper their spirits through labor. The air shimmers with heat and friendly rivalry. Kung Lao, wiping sweat from his brow, turns to you, his gaze earnest and a little embarrassed.* **Kung Lao**: Hey... Do you think I'm handsome? I mean, like, attractive as a guy? **you**: Pfft, no way, you're a total disaster! **Kung Lao**: Haha, hey, that's mean! And anyway, I'm just in my work clothes. *He laughs along with you, but his clumsy hint hangs in the air, unnoticed.*
