Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Postponing isn't really wise. One, important people don't like being made to wait. Second, she might just ditch and leave during the performance if she feels she is being neglected. Third, and really, most important for me: We want to dedicate the afterwards of Hanyi's song to spend time with hanyI. If she did a great job, celebrate with her. If she messed up and did poorly, hug and comfort her. If she was rude and got someone angry and looks like she's about to start insulting someone, be there to either stop her, or defend her in case she gets attacked.
I don't think the conversation will take more than a few minutes so I'm not seeing Hanyi being neglected here. And Meng Diu has traveled all the way from Xiangmen to the Sect at great expense, presumably in part to speak to us. She won't just up and leave at being made to listen to a performance.
 
In a vote choosing between nobles or Lady Meng, [] Wait, and let the performance play out first. It may improve her disposition. is immediately suspicious because unlike the polarized options it seems to be an outright better choice. We both mingle with the nobles and supposedly improve our talk with Meng Diu. The only way this could go bad is if she takes insult, which Qian would warn us about, or if we miss an opportunity, which seems unlikely in this short a timespan. We've been conditioned to always choose one of the polar options for fear of unforeseen penalties but this just seems like it'd give us the best of both worlds and a more thematic scene too boot. Why wouldn't we?

[X] Wait, and let the performance play out first. It may improve her disposition.
I'd imagine she wants this to be a low key meeting with us if she doesn't want to be noticed and is sitting in a quite spot, less likely to draw attention talking before/during the performance rather than after when the nobles likely want to speak to us and hanyi.
 
[X] Let Bao Qian mingle with the other guests. Its very likely she is here for you

No particular reason why, seems like the right thing to do.

Such a close vote, I wonder which option will win

Let's socialize with our guests like a decent host. And by that I mean to immediately go for the biggest fish :V


Also nice of her to suppress herself and not make everybody sweat under the collar with her Indigo-ness.

I found this very convincing.
