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

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Narratively I think this makes a LOT more sense for them to talk about. They've both spoken of the past before, but now that we're moving forward with the adoption future planning becomes more important.
I don't think there ever has been an on screen discussion or acknowledgement about the fact Ling Qi's mom was a prostitute and all their mortal servants were prostitutes and part of the deal is socially people are gonna shit on the Ling's for that?

Now, saying that

First vote woot woot, I'm really looking forward to her reactions to the ling qi dice™️

Maybe I've just been paying more attention than before, but has Yrs' prose improved? The actions and thoughts that accompany the dialogue feel a lot more "bouncy" and alive.
 
It helped that in her presence little threads of protective qi wrapped invisibly around her mother and sister always. Against a peer it would be nothing but against regular everyday harm and accidents, her family might as well have been wrapped in steel.
What ability is this, mechanically? Does our domain confer armor or similar? I just checked the character sheet and I can't find it.

There were a couple discussions in-universe (not huge ones) that went over how openly accepting former prostitutes would effect Ling Qi's status. Basically Qi decided that helping out the women who helped/stood by her mother overwhelmed any issues caused by gossip.

Our domain confers dodge. It's why Biyu always seems to escape her nannies. Ling Qi has also stated that her domain just in general bolsters health. It's why our servants could enjoy the hot springs Zhengui made or why her mom could more easily do her exercises. Its not something that would help against peers, but it does seem to exist.

I think the escape from nannies is more the immunity to bind and root effects.

mechanically persistence seems the best choice since we have more chances to raise freedom. and narratively we have a rough idea of Yu Nuan's past already, and it feels like LQ's history is a bit of a beaten horse at this point. Discussing the future and where both of them want to go forward feels more important in the beginning stage of the ling clan.
