>>6129792>while you wondered why the mental image of Ao wearing a collar and you holding a leash came to mind as you said that.Ao would either love or hate the idea, there is no inbetween. Goodness. Huan. Pls.
>>6129795Oof this is a tough one. I'd really like to keep Ao in our back pocket since no one outside of our sect truly knows he's who he is and free of his prison. I'd love to just go up there, too, but we'd lose a ton of face just vanishing before the tournament ends. I also want to trust Monu, but the more you can stack a deck in your favor the better. And finally, asking Xia to go do it means basically asking him to possibly lose out on prominent recruits from the tournament and giving him a vague promise of being nice to him later, effectively a favor.
Damn.
>Grab Xia Jinse-Shayu and tell him he has a chance to earn your favor in a big way....The lesser of evils. He'll probably only ask for something stupid anyway. Like a date with Monu. I'd really rather not slight all of the masters we invited here otherwise I'd vote to go ourselves.
