I was trying for series!WZX's way of putting things in black and white (according to his own opinions), and his tendency towards verbosity and exaggeration.
The former of which is fuzzed and the latter almost wholly eclipsed in subtitles. Useful to know.

Ah. I was wondering what those were, and how you got someone to let you move higher up the table. Stupidly hadn't realized it's not a European type table, right? Can't remember the banquet scene for the Feather Recitation but wasn't that kind of like a Japanese feast where everyone has his own small table in front of him?
