[X] A fine, midnight blue choker, from which hung a thumb sized clear gem, set in silver.

Gotta be the choker. Choker is pretty. Qiyi, don't eat it!

The choker has the better power to be sure, but it's a real shame to turn down a serpentine ornament given by a Bai princess. It feels like more of an honor somehow. (Yeah, yeah, I know we're not 'turning it down' in character, just deciding what the gift is. You know what I mean.)

Sure it's more of an honor, but it'll also confuse the Bai delegation about which tall gangly foreigner their princess is dating. It'd be an honor, and very funny, but we shouldn't do Bao Qingling dirty like that.

Considering the theme of this entire meetup has been lighthearted teasing, it makes sense Meizhen would get us throat armor in case we needed to block any more knives.

An absorbative antitoxin talisman, meant to protect against even the venoms of the Bai and the impurity of the ith

Yeah, anti poison measures seem like the way to go right now.

[X] A serpentine hair ornament of dark jade and silver wire, meant to be woven into a braid.


I like ornament more by its aesthetics, but I find choker's ability more useful ;(. But both are fine...

Going to see plenty of poisons going ahead and hopefully we don't need to be smelted to deal with it.

The aura of the Ambassador, the simulacrum of Bai Suzhen and all of their guards was simply too overwhelming, making it seem to her senses as if a vast white serpent was simply climbing Xiangmen rather than a whole procession.

I suspect it'd work like they were her too when it comes to her defensive and counter arts.

"It is," Bai Meizhen said, fighting down her smile. "I will say despite some misgivings…. It was good to return home for a time. I greatly enjoy the Emerald Seas, but I think it is important to return to your roots and… re-establish some things from time to time."
"Oh, now you're just being mysterious on purpose," Ling Qi said. "Just what did you get up too in Zhenjian?"

"That would be telling," Bai Meizhen said. "I merely spent the time reacuainting myself with my many cousins."

...the cousins who spent their childhood bullying her for being a motherless cultivation nerd?

Mostly the practical use, poison resistance is great against Ith, and just generally very good to have. But I also really like the message of giving something to protect from her (and her families) most famous tool. That's an expression of trust there, and a statement. Because we totally are a target for Bai intrigue. Have been, and as the best friend of the likely future heir, that's only going to ramp up.
