Let’s be friends – Take 2

The other students departed and the old man headed towards the kitchen. He asked for a bottle and the staff peered suspiciously at him but eventually handed over a small bottle of liquor.

He turned and walked back to his favourite chair near the window so I sat down and joined him. I placed a spoon down on the small round table between us and then I scanned the room for any onlookers. 

His eyes fell on the spoon and then me. "What? Want me to show you how to bend it? I cannot do that anymore I'm afraid."

Without a word I shook my head and pointed at the spoon. He looked and I sent my qi towards it. My tendrils of qi floated through the air like a wiff of smoke and I lifted it off the table. My qi twirled around the spoons length, like wrapping it in string and then squeezed. It became soft and I bent it into a U shape. I let the spoon down gently then reached out with for his bottle of liquor simply with my hand.
