Markus didn't laugh, lash out or run screaming, so those were good signs. Kai heard him mutter about spirits. Perhaps his friend was not completely unaware of the existence of beings other than the 'usual'.
“Those options are not hypothetical, in any way, they are real,” Kai replied with a small smile. The smile wavered a little as Kai considered how Markus would react when he actually saw the evidence of his biology. “I'm trusting you, Markus,” he said continued quietly. “If I accept any assistance you wish to give, you need to know, to understand who I am. There will be... certain things to take into account.”
Kai didn't want to alarm the man, but he felt this step was crucial to moving forward, with their friendship, pursuing an education, finding more regular employment, anything. It would be so much easier if he didn't have to watch everything he said to Markus or have to omit important information that would make decisions and actions more complicated, or even impossible.
