Everything must be a feeling a bit out of control atm. *pets him*

Yeah, no wonder he's so frazzled!

I think they probably took a taxi.

Ha, I forgot for a minute that taxis exist. *g* That's definitely also a possiblity!

Oh, I thought Shen Wei was being deliberately evasive and not talking about the war. (I was guessing the Yashou allusions were to Fu You and Ma Gui?) Do you think he was being candid?

The thing is, I honestly can't tell at all what the Yashou allusions are supposed to be about, so it might be YOHE stuff or it might be something from after. In one case, Shen Wei is being evasive; in the other he genuinely may not know. Ambiguity! *g*

Hmm, technically maybe. Ya Qing begs to differ, I think? *g*

Ya Qing already has decided the Guardian Treaty's prescribed neutrality is bad for Yashou, hasn't she?

And Zhao Yunlan is smug because he assumes she won't win, and whoever does become high chief will be able to rein her in?

Yeah, I don't think he considered that she might win! To be fair, he also couldn't have seen "election" via a piece of wood coming. *g*

I feel like their whole set of procedures around confidentiality and covert agencies needs a serious overhaul! ;-p

Haha, too true!
