知己, you know.

Nope. Is it more than what you've said?

But part of the appeal has to also be that they've found this in someone who on the surface doesn't look like they'd be so similar! So all the differences between them make it even better.

Ooh, yes. That's a great point, and I love it. (I would really not have been as interested if they'd both been all fancy suits and respectable.) And Shen Wei had no idea what Kunlun would be like when he found him; he must have been expecting someone reasonably high status (though I feel like he'd have guessed ZYL wasn't actually military, especially once he got a feel for what the modern military is like). And except for their very first encounter, Kunlun was always dressed in fine clothes and had the confident bearing of a leader.

Ha, I love the idea that getting to know ZYL also means that Shen Wei comes to understand Kunlun's inexplicable oddities too.
