Wait, what? I've read it as a complete lack of enthusiasm on her part. She does not look like she can't wait to be back in his arms.Tigranes said:and Yunzi could be too, given her enthusiasm about her betrothed, though we can't make presumptions on that yet
Depends on what you count as a benefit.Tigranes said:There is no clearly expected benefit from this either
She definitely isn't happy about the dude and her arrangement. She most likely feels loyalty towards her new "family," after her separation from the Ashina, but definitely not to this guy. Her reaction just screams "I want to enjoy my last years of freedom in peace!"“I am here to escort you back, O Holy Maiden. It was unfortunate that you were separated from us during the ambush at Wufushan, but we did all we could to find you again. Our Lord of the Light was rather concerned. He would much rather you did not consort with strange men.”
“And I thank you for your efforts, Vahista. However, the date of betrothal is still three years away. He need not concern himself with my actions just yet,” replies Yunzi steadily.
Vahista laughs loudly. “Oh, you misunderstand me. Our master knows that you will return to him in due time. It is just that he needs to understand the company you keep, and how it will affect his plans.” There is a sudden wave of killing intent from him. Your brows furrow – will it turn into a fight?
None of them have any ulterior motives, though, Yu just wants to reconnect with the prostitute he fell in love in, and save her from whatever troubles afflict her (a moment of silence for our comrade in the freindzone ) and Yunzi jsut wants some asses to kick and some answers. Letting this serve out of control by pretending to be The Spymaster isn't such a great idea, Jing cannot into deep intrigue. Earnestness and trust ahve gotten him far more than LARPing Shulgi ever did.We did it at the tournament and it worked out OK for us, but that time, we were just worried about possible ulterior motives on the part of Qilin et al. This time, we know for a fact that both of our interlocutors have motives that run directly counter to ours, and that at least one of them is very emotionally invested in it (and Yunzi could be too, given her enthusiasm about her betrothed, though we can't make presumptions on that yet). So the lesson is not the same here. There is no clearly expected benefit from this either, except for BROTEAM HAREM YEAH BABY.
You think if we don't tell him, then he is going to stand by?Zero Credibility said:What if the WiB is still working against the Prince - we are ready to off her right there and then, it has been said so. You think that scholar is going to stand by and watch this happen?
And if we don't, she will magically change her mind? She is heading there, with or without us.Zero Credibility said:And Yunzi herself might decide to kill her anyway if we tag her along
There is such a concept as fate in the universe of the LP. According to lady Ji, we were fated to meet Qilin at the mansion (and by extension, we were fated to save Yu), and as for Yunzi, we are destined to marry her because we have given an oath of eternal devotion before the stars and all that fluff.Zero Credibility said:Why the fuck did you declare these people of all a "bro team" or our friends?
Of course we can't guarantee an optimal solution, we can't guarantee that in any of the choices here. The only safe bet is to ditch them both and go do our own thing with Changfeng. However, C3 at the very least puts us in a good position to work towards a good solution: we get both of them on the same page and lay our cards out on the table. If they don't agree with us, they will ditch us here and now (Yunzi is too straightforward to play intrigue and Yu will be outraged if he doesn't agree with us. With our 8 PER, we will pick up any hesitation). Let's review the other choices:That's one the fucking problems - you don't know if there is a possible reasonable solution. What if the WiB is still working against the Prince - we are ready to off her right there and then, it has been said so.
How long are you willing to wait, though? It might become too late for the revelations once passions will run high.Smashing Axe said:Voting for an option other than C does not mean you're committing to never reveal the truth to them.
I doubt she realises what we got her out of just now, but it never hurts to remind her.Baltika9 said:An we did kinda save her life twice now, she 'owes us' in a way, so there's that.
I remember seeing a post from you (a pity that you had removed it) where you made a point about how Yunzi was different from the man we were about to kill and how that man was totally a Theseus when she wasn't.Lambchop19 said:We saved Theseus' life too. Naim's as well.
I'm almost with you there, but she remembers the battle well enough - she recalled it in our fight with the toad - without us telling her that we are working for the prince. Telling her who it is we are seeking in B and having her see her and remember will probably be enough and she's not a complete idiot.Yunzi was there when Changfeng attacked her tribe and us too. She needs to know the truth so that see doesnt do anything stupid, atleast not before we get some answers.
I just said that she wasn't Theseus and in that very post I said that I'm not advocating fear of her betrayal, but caution - so no, you're not.I may be quoting only the first line, but I respond to the general spirit of your messages.
No, she knows we were the prince's servant. We were exiled for our actions and she probably knows that or can at least guess - recall that her father knew we'd be in deep shit for our actions and now we are far from the prince rather than being at his side as we were before.We already made our name known to her, and there isn't much else we can reveal about our motives at this time that she can't guess on her own. She knows that we are the prince's servant.
And what does telling her about our mission from the prince have to do with that? Couldn't we tell her not to interfere in B as well?She does not "have to protect the prince" (where did you get that?), and I do not expect her to. What I hope for is that she does not interfere with our business there, and, frankly, that isn't too much to ask after all we've been through. She can have all the BDS to herself, but she must leave Changfeng to us. That woman harmed us far more than she harmed Yunzi, so this is also fair, as well.
