[X] Hold here, a hard wall together with Suyin and Piper, break the parasites offensive thrust, and strike back when it is reeling from the deflection.
I am extremely tempted to go for the ambush, but the argument for not using yin qi while pretty much all our sneaky ambush arts are yin is holding strong.

I am absolutely delighted to see just how much Communcation is doing for us.
We are among peers, and still Li Suyin is basically unable to communicate with the spirit and even Sixiang has a lot of problems talking to it properly, while Ling Qi not only effortlessly does it, she is even able to try and refine the communication in real time to improve her diplomacy efforts now and in the future by modifying her tone and approach.
It was extremely rewarding to read.
