"Cho-puppy, when will you stop wasting your time with <strong>the</strong>se boys, to meeta real man?"Cho was about to look around for a real man, but <strong>Harry</strong> had enough. "Is he important for yourbusiness, or can I teach him manners?""Claude? ... He isn't important for anyone - save your breath."<strong>Harry</strong> didn't want to save his breath, just <strong>the</strong> opposite. And his h<strong>and</strong>s were free, not holding aglass.Claude hadn't taken well to Cho's remark, saw <strong>Harry</strong> as a welcome occassion to blast offsome steam. He walked a step back, taking something vaguely similar to an attack-defenseposition. It looked beautiful, <strong>and</strong> slow, altoge<strong>the</strong>r very funny.Staring at this performance, it dawned on <strong>Harry</strong> - this had to be an actor for <strong>the</strong> kung fucategory, used to movements slow enough <strong>the</strong> camera as well as <strong>the</strong> spectators could follow.Well - <strong>the</strong> audience here wouldn't be able to follow his own movements, would only havetime to watch <strong>the</strong> result.Cho's h<strong>and</strong> at his sleeve.
