Aww... [So Tian has not shown Daitou any particular powers - if the other man was telling the truth, and why would he lie to a child? He fixed Daitou with an innocently fascinated stare.] Do you pray to him?

[A child would not understand, but Huo does, and it's another piece in the puzzle. It makes him wonder how much further he can push the matter.]

He must get sad if no one prays to him...

[Sensitive to such cues in his, well, delicate position, Huo notices the glance and knows what it means. No more questions, at least not outright...]

If he's not sad then it's okay! [He flashes his most winning smile.] No one should be sad. Not scary dragons either!
