Wait, when did this happen?
Last turn.

Ling Qi had long decided that she would not stop walking the path forward. Even when obstacles presented themselves. Even when things grew difficult. She had decided that on some matters there could be no compromise or retreat, that small endings were both acceptable and inevitable. But she did not want to be alone again.

The words and emotions of her family stung, and the pain in her dantian, that grinding feeling of something broken was real.

She needed to race forward without slowing.

She did not want to be alone.

Her melody faltered as her breath hitched, a sharp pain traveling up her spine. The distress arose from her, but its source was elsewhere. It came from the faint strands that stretched back into the house, away over the hills, where Zhengui rested and Hanyi composed. It came from up in the mountains, where her friends resided.

In moving forward blindly, she hurt others. Through others, she hurt herself. By hurting herself, she had slowed down. This thought circled in her mind, chasing its own tail. She half expected Sixiang to comment, but the moon spirit was silent, respecting her need for introspection.

There was something to that thought, Ling Qi mused, even if it did not soothe the pain in her spirit. It wasn't an answer, just an observation. It was a good one though, she thought. Yes, it might not solve her current problem, but if she wished to avoid further wounds in the future then she could not afford to let her vision be so narrow.

I want Ling Qi to have wings of her own. Not just ones granted to her by the beneficence of Cai Shenhua. Dress-chan may sulk when she wakes up, but willingness to compromise is the key to a successful relationship.

Because Ling Qi needs at least one other outfit.

Edit:Edit: Never mind. In the end I'm really interested in the dress reaction and I don't think it'll make a huge diff either way...seeing how close this vote is, I might change my mind again though...

If anything, I'd want the dress to react to the blessing of fang. Let Ling Qi have her own wings.

Edit:
That sounds like a thing that might expose her ankles or even calves in public.

Ankles are fleeting :p. Rubbing it into everyone's face that you can fly in the third realm without an incredibly valuable item is forever.

It makes a lot more sense for Ling Qi to do this, I think, than the other thing, even if mechanically, we could go either way.
