ABASI
Loren gave quite the list of flaws, the majority of which Abasi was not aware of. It seemed Loren was more than aware though, from the speed and depth he got into the list. "And do you agree with all these things people say? Loren, it does not change anything for me what others may say about you - I am aware I am hardly a perfect man myself. Besides, I have not seen any of these qualities in you. I will judge you by how you treat me."
He laughed with amazement (and a little bit at the absurdity of it all) as Loren cleaned them off without hardly lifting a finger. "And so far, you have been kind, generous and I find you a good, intelligent conversation partner." Abasi was not in the habit of compliments for the sake of flattery, and he hoped Loren knew that. He meant this.

Do not raise up intimate companions
For nothing is to be gained from them
Let your own heart be watchful over you
