[His lips twitch. Yes! Yes, someone had gone after him once. Who is it, Ambition? Why go after him? Why is anyone going after him at all? What did he do to anyone besides kiss ass?
She presents a good deal, but what happens if he decides to leave? Is she going to heap the blame games on him? He'd cry, actually cry.]
Are you certain that you can get one of your followers to go to him?
[He says this in a curious tone, and it's not meant as a challenge.]
[Doesn't that make her followers sound like simple-minded lackeys with a conditioned response to rewards? If he goes to Ambition, can he get a reward that doesn't just involve being bullied less?]
You've really thought this true. All right. I will consider your generous offer and make my decision before the night is over.
Truly, Great Ambition lives up to her divine name. Qinghua will leave now and think carefully on what to do. I-in the meantime, please enjoy this one's humble offering.

[Ambition crosses her arms.]
My followers adore me. Besides, if I tell them it's a task, I can reward them for going to him instead of cursing them. Everyone wins.

Make a smart choice. It's what your old gods would have wanted for you, isn't it? I'm going to win this. You can, too, if you join me.

[She pulls the snacks closer to herself.]
Thank you. [Her voice is a little softer now, at least?] ... I'll try these when I can take my mask off.
