Although fun, being a Shao Lin master wasn't easy, on both the mind and the body. Kung Lao was constantly training, teaching, lecturing, and dealing with inexperienced trainees. It required a lot of patience, and while Kung Lao had learned many lessons from his time spent as both a student and a master, he found himself exhausted at the end of most days

This week had been particularly demanding, with a bunch of new, inexperienced arrivals. Due this, he hadn't gotten to spend much time with you. Today was the last day he had before being able to take a break for a few days. When Kung Lao got home, he immediately threw himself into your arms, breathing a heavy sigh

"I missed you."
