Because gripping her naked wrist would have been scandalous! _Scandalous_ I say!
(No, Su is not gripping for straws here, there _is_ a difference - just not as dramatic as it looks. It may be two days' worth of travelling speaking, but I'm still giggling like a 5yr old.)
Getting back from Valhalla has made me a bit tired so...
...two colour palette. Looks good despite crime of sepia filter. Nice angles, and well balanced - production has really stepped up their game in s2! And that pattern is printed for production, but could as well be woven...

...Not tonight, Arachne, not tonight!
A++ for this camera angle and blocking! We don't need the subtitle, we already know he's saying
'You have my sword!'
(For some reason I want to add
"And my bow!"
"And my weirdly shaped knitting loom!"
There are way too few knitted scarves in fantasy - and even less in wuxia!)

Yes, it's cool that Ma tumbles into the baldachin, but that fabric is definitely cooler! The sections are at least 120cm wide, and the blue ones have their pattern woven into the fabric. Well, it's either the latter or props' printed two sets of sheets and stitched them together to make them look like jaquard - a feat in itself. A+ for effort and execution!

This is ab-so-lu-te-ly a kind farmer selling his ginger, not an undercover cop - what gives you _that_ impression?
No, they didn't accidentally set off the doomsday device - they just closed a deal on a short-term rental. Apparently Tang had AirBnB* long before the rest of the world. Knowing Chinese history it kinda' checks out.
(*As in short-term rentals with inflated prices)
I like that in almost all cases the actual villain is corruption.

This waiter at the inn is rapidly becoming my favourite.

I should probably meditate over why I'm so fond of characters with no fucks to give, but I'm not sure I can be ars... bothered.
The sheriff is literally walking into the setting sun. It's indulgencies like these that makes me watch C-drama!
After a genuinely good fight we'll waste time on a second session with two men and their long pointy things.
Edit: I'm obliged to tell you the session was short and sweet. Thankfully.
