I mean this turn is kind of the best time tbh. If we have follow-up then we want to be opening that up, and tying our networking into our preperations. The setup for this with things like Meizhen and Luo Zhong has already been done and having it be delayed longer just gets silly.Just bc we can't avoid it doesn't mean we have to do it this turn.
There's also not really any better alternative, as in contrast Paying Respects is really something best left for near the end of our time at the Sect, and that's still months away. That's a turn 17 action imo.
