[X] Ask Ilsur if he'd been sufficiently prepared for the restrictions that the Alaniar place upon their men prior to marrying into and joining their society. Start a conversation on the differing gender roles and then segue that into a discussion on why his father felt the marital alliance was needed.

This only applies if you believe the world to be a zero sum game, which it isn't, it's very much the case that you can gain more total utility from cooperation than if you just fought for resources.

I agree with you that the world is more than a zero sum game, but even the idea of zero sum games is fairly new. For the vast majority of history people have treated existence as a zero sum game, so it is completely reasonable for people in this story to do the same.

[X] Why where you uncomfortable around Cai Renxiang?
[X] Ask him something of his people and their ways, it's fairly clear that your own knowledge is incomplete.
I think that these are the best for purposes of worldbuilding, which is I think the best goal for this conversation, both as a reader and for Ling Qi.

[X] - stagnation/corruption are the cost of our system, but in trade our connections are quite easy to maintain. How do the nomads manage to maintain connections with how free they are?

Its simple fact for hunter gatherer nomads.
There is only so much to take. If you need more you have to take from someone or something else. The only resource they can build up is the skills and numbers of their tribe, and in order to do that they must prey on weaker tribes(if they are strong) or any tribe(if they are weak)

It's... NOT a fact for hunter gatherer nomads though. It's a thing for pastoralists. With hunter gatherers the costs are high and the rewards low, because everything another tribe has is on that tribe's persons, and hunter gatherers do not generally possess much in the way of surplus. With pastoralists the costs are much lower, because a small number of people can look after a large herd, and the rewards are high, because herds are extremely mobile.

Seems like a waste, I thought it was pretty strongly implied what he saw as the difference between Ling and Cai
He probably views CRX as representing everything in the empire that he steals from and has enough when he was starving. But feels some sort of solidarity with Ling who has been a thief herself.
