In light of that I now really want to prioritize [X] Me Time.
It's prehaps a bit unfortunately named - "Me Time" carries connotations of retreat from the world and passivity, when in fact we really need that Me Time to be able to interact with the world effectively.
Guys, we need someone who can change the world. We need Odyssial in all his terrifying Solarness. That doesn't mean he can't be Ulyssian as well (they're rather similar people to begin with anyway), but we better grasp those memories before they slip away.
I really, really like that thought. The most powerful sword in existence doesn't need to be as long as two men are tall and as heavy as an elemental pole. It is beyond that kind of empty boasting.

Why do I have to keep repeating myself? Lea is a first age Lunar where Solars having a harem was the norm. It wasn't confirmed but there is a possibility that we got intimate with both Pearl and Fairest. There were rumors of such in Odyissials time and who knows how accurate they were. Lea seeing as she never went yandere in that time must've have been okay and likely even joined it if we did have sex with our Siderael allies. We picked options that would make Lea sane and still affectionate towards us on the Age of sorrows. So she should still be fine with other women.
Most importantly her role in the Primoridal War required seduction and sleeping around with people other than Odyssial.
Rihaku confirmed this
See that? Word of god that Harems were the norm and Lea slept with
other people.
There's also how SHE LITTERALLY REWROTE HERSELF JUST TO SEDUCE HIM. She can do this all the time as this was her talent. Not as drastic as what she did with Ody of course.
As long as Lea isn't insane or hate us her reaction to any love competitors would be
"Oh Ody you haven't seen me in millennia and you still remembered our anniversary! That's so sweet of you!"
Then she seduced the hell out of them being a FIRST AGE ELDER LUNAR WHO SPECIALIZED IN SEDUCTION. WHO WAS THE MATE OF ODYISSIAL AND STRONG WHERE HE WAS WEAK SO SHE WAS LIKELY THE BEST SEDUCTRESS.
I will be legit shook if Lea got jealous. And a bit mad if Lea ends up insane and a yandere despite all of our efforts to prevent this.

Lot's of assumptions there. If those assumptions are true, well, okay then, but I'd like to check. We don't know what might have changed in those thousands of years. We don't know how well Lea has been able to keep her mind together. And a harem is one thing, emotional committment is another. The latter could be much more problematic.
And Ulyssian didn't refuse to marry Saerys in the original quest because he disliked her or because she wouldn't have let him get away with having an affair with Moon, you know.
Fair enough. Again, if that turns out to be true I have no complaints. As of yet, however, it is unconfirmed.
I also find myself somewhat amused at the thought of how everyone here will react to Lea's harem in that case.

Our Lea choices
We've been improving her sanity and her affection. All I'm saying is that if our choices pay off well Lea will have absolutely no problems with us being with other women. She might even encourage it.
Also last quest Ulyssian is different from this Ulyssian who now has memories from Odyissial. He could very well be more open to relationships with more then one woman.
But i agree we should see how things are. I'm just letting people know we don't necessarily have to go either or when it comes to romance.
Lea's harem would be a bundle of laughs no doubt.
It would certainly be better for Ivory interactions if he could get his memories straight. "Hey, Pearl! That's not your name?"
Right we need our memories to discern where fairest could be.
Uhh decisions decisions.
Can't we do Me Time later though? It seems that sorting through memories for possible advantages is something that can be done at any time and isn't time critical. Although if it is something that can only be done now I'd swap my vote to it.

Under different circumstances I might agree, but this...
...suggests to me that "latter" will probably end up becoming "never" or at least "too late" if we don't do this now. There's also the possibility that in order to get the full benefits we need to integrate the memories while they're still fresh, so to speak.
Damnit, I didn't even think of that! But yes, that makes Me Time all the more important.

Hora hora~
I prefer Grand Reaper Beamklave, personally - elegant, yet deadly.
Oh? So Ivory will have a positive relationship with us in any case, it's just the specifics that change?
Well then!
[X] Me Time.
Be it as a dandere, a tsundere, or a yandere, we'll accept all of your love, Pearl!
Though I'm still hoping for BFF, obviously.
Would've been nice to make up with our family, but the lure of Odyssial's memories beckons. This way, we can properly complain about how it was all much better in the good old days!

Rethinking it, our choices should be what would help further ensure that our disguise holds up against what Ayns is going to throw at us. Better charms might make our disguise more full proof, like say allowing us to actually burn things, while family might make it easier for us to block situations which might require us to force us our anima without preparations.
I honestly think Ivory is the least appealing choice right at this moment.
All of them have weight, but at least we know that our relationship with Ivory will be positive. The same cannot be said with our family. Integrating out memories also sounds like something that has to be done now for full effect, or else we're going to have to earn them back the hard way.

After some thought I've come to the realization of why not both? The biggest issue with leaving Ivory alone is that Anys will catch up to her and the secondary issue is that we won't be able to define the relationship, if we ensure she's either with Zao, Ulyssian or both the primary issue can be completely negated and the secondary can likely be fixed. If we have them all together we can also get our stories straight which is also pretty important, besides having some trusted people to watch over him while Ulyssian contemplates his existence would be pretty helpful to prevent any unwelcome surprise visitors.
Essentially we should just have Zao, Ulyssian and Ivory all go up to Zao's office and then get everything out of the way.
[X] Me Time at Night
Besides this way they Ivory can be around for the unveiling of Ulyssian's sword.
Ulyssian focused on his memories, determining which feelings were his and which were Odyssials. It was difficult to separate them, each memory was as vivid as any other to the point where he could not be sure whether he was Odyssial reincarnated or Ulyssian with the memories of Odyssial. Regardless his goals and feelings were the same either way so did it truly matter what name he answered to. No it did not, he opened his eyes to look at Zao and Ivory who had been sitting in Zao's office quietly conversing and watching over him while he had been performing his self analysis.
"Done are you?" Zao asked, he had no doubt prepared a perfect cover for his Exaltation and had determined the optimal steps to proceed with whilst his contemplations were being performed. Ulyssian answered, however Instead of answering with words Ulyissian reached out into his soul and drew his answer from within.
"I know what that is," Ivory gasped. "Odyssial's sword. This is the weapon of a Solar Warrior. Not as clumsy or random as a firewand; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Solars were the guardians of peace and justice in the Previous Age. Before the dark times... before the Usurpation."

The advantage with Ivory is that we get to learn about Anys. She can give us insight on Anys personality, methods, her goals, how she is likely to reacts. Anys is honestly our greatest enemy right now. Remember the woman has more influence then Zao and has been running the realm Dynasty game for centuries. She was already pissed that we ruined her plans for Flame & Moon before we exalted as a Solar.
The sooner we can plan for her the better. Also this way we can ensure that Ivory, Ulyssian, and Zao are on the same page with the cover story. We don't need all of our efforts to be ruined because something we say is contradictory to something Ivory told Anys. Remember that we will be under extensive scrunity so they will jump at an sign that we're lying(which we are.) We cannot afford to fuck up at all. Especially for something as silly as not making sure everyone is on the same page.
Hell talking to Ivory could possibly help with our memories and the Sword. Pearl was our companion for a long time and we both got the sword and some of its upgrades thanks to our relationship with her.

[x] Family Time
Might as well smooth things out with the family before they leave since I doubt they're happy about the whole faking-being-a-mortal-for-the-Last-Shogun-thing, and their support is sure to be useful, Night Time does interest me as well, though I really want to see what sort of conclusions Ivory will make for herself about this weird connection she has with him, her treating it as some sort of deep, millenia-old beyond the grave romance would probably be the most amusing to me.
