[X] Yes, you would be honored. (Gain technique Warhound's Cry).
I'd like a wallet of 75 to 100 anam for the Archive run, including allowance (which might take a hit from this). Sounds daunting, but if we plug away at sect tasks each week I think it's doable with what we'll get from our commission.
It tends to be more interesting to vote to do something than to vote not to do something.(Sigh)
Right, I'm out of here. People walking straight into the fucking briar patch and thinking the thorns are just marshmallows.
I'm going to be too fucking mad to enjoy this quest for the next month I imagine.

Mei Daiyu wishes that was true.If politics were more important than the friendship with her, it's a bit late to dump it now.
Mo Hanying's gaze turns weighing and judging, as if she's appraising your value. "Do you plan to continue your association with Nokai now that you know it is likely to cause you great discomfort in the future?"
You shrug and nod. "She's… I don't have many friends."
"Then there is only one path before you," comes Mo Hanying's answer. "It is the one I've taken, and while it may be one you shall have more difficulty with, I suggest you do the same."
"And what path is that?"
The response is startlingly blunt. "The path of not caring," she responds. "As the sky is not troubled by the rumblings of the earth, so must you not be bothered by the opinions of those who cannot see the truth. Allow me to demonstrate."
Mo Hanying stops and turns, cupping one hand around her mouth. "Nokai!" she calls. "Are you going to wander through the wilderness like a lost explorer or are you going to come over!"
Drawing from animals, all well and good, but we don't actually have a pack to draw from. It'd be more stuff we'd need to get the prerequisites for, and this time it WOULD be a constant drain, it'd be a ally we'd have to actively maintain...Which would not bode well for our Crafting demands.
Its easy for Mo to say when her status as a noble means that she can bulldoze past the social costs. And even then, I doubt Mo would learn a barbarian technique. Its called moderation. We can spent time and befriend Nokai while not letting social pressure stop that, while also realizing that the degree of social cost for learning a technique characteristic of the enemies of the Empire we live in is something perhaps prohibitive. The way you are framing it is disingenuous, frankly.So, regarding this decision, I'm reminded of this conversation with Mo Hanying after the duel.
It seems rather relevant advice with regards to our current decision.
No, it shouldn't. If we keep cycling Beast anam it will eventually do it, but one level of one technique shouldn't have any effect besides technique integration.Now that I've said that, I have to ask @Vesvius: Will this technique obviously alter our Anam Cultivation?
