Yeah, the big question I have is really what art will fight best next arc in the Foreign Quarter discussions.

My feeling is that Winter's Crown works fine in either arc. Boundaries Untrodden to a degree depends on what's going on with the espionage plot, though also arguably fits worse with everything coming to a head (if that happens in the final arc and not this one)?

In terms of the discussions my feeling is that Boundaries Untrodden probably fits better here in the transgression of boundaries through cultural and information sharing maybe?

Also not sure what the other art options would be for next arc anyway. FFS is fine, but most of our arts don't really fit well here or we want to do elsewhere imo? Maybe Fortress of Tsu 2 given the whole bringing people together thing Tsu had? But also tbh BKSD will have a great time in the War arc anyway, and it's about the wolf god that we've already largely failed to actually show off so doing it again in another non-violent arc wouldn't be great, and finding good sneaky-time opportunities for LFWT meditation is harder than you might think.

So idk I'm kind of inclined to go with Boundaries this section on the grounds that it's probably a better place for it and Winter's Crown should be good next section?

It is early yet, for celebration, yet… for your efforts, I will allow it," Cai Renxiang said. At the table where they sat, she alone did not yet have her drink, because naturally their liege had insisted on hand brewing her own tea. The pot was bubbling away, but not yet ready.

"We aren't there yet," Ling Qi agreed. "...I'll need Hanyi for this next part, she had better behave."

5 "yet" concentrated in such a short bit. Might be best to trim a few off @yrsillar

My feeling on this one is that meditating on the concept of transgression is a risky focus during the culture segment, while Ling Qi's understanding of Cold is incredibly relevant to her ties to the ice ladies.

Also:

"Hey, I'm not that bad, I'm just relaxed with you," Ling Qi said. And a little tipsy now maybe, she shouldn't have drunk that so quickly. She furrowed her brow and circulated her qi, kicking her toxin processing organs into quicker and more efficient function.

I find it funny and also incredibly appropriate that a mildly intoxicated Ling Qi sounds much more like Sixiang.
 
 
A thought occurred to me, with Hanyi's involvement in the information sharing and cultural discussions, Hanyi having a human father will come out. That fact with Ling Qi binding her will surely be a mark against Ling Qi and a flashpoint for members of the Imperial side. I could see the Polar side asking about whats going on with Hanyi for a way to bind their own Ice Children, which to the Imperial side would be them asking for techniques that they will use to bind humans. Expect favorabillity loss from the Emerald Seas Nobility and Ministry of Integrity.

Nah it's clear to any high realm Imperial that Hanyi is a spirit.
 
Yeah, it's Cleared, and anyone with any real senses will know she's a Full Spirit--that she has a weird origin is just, well, her own business.

Moar Hanyi? Yes please.
Time to show what our ice gremlin/winter lady can do.
Probably bit early for a international tour, but just you ait, Idol Hanyi will take the Polar nations by a storm once she is done with ES, and after that, Thousand Princes.

Winter's Crown feels like it'd go better as the finale to this whole arc
