Dress.

As the two days pass, she goes to take the dresses from HaiTien's shop, acting as shadily as if she had been organising a death attack against Sterile Mr Volp, in the middle of the wilds, at midnight.
She can't help but feel embarrassed about the entire matter of making herself pretty for the party, she doesn't want anyone to know until the end, basically.

As the returns to the palace, she acts even more sneakily, until she brings the bags with the dresses safely to her room, in her residence. Probably guards and servants who saw her are confused as heck, as she walked on the roofs instead of the ground.
With that done, she decides to go to invite Zhongli to the party, since she clearly took very seriously the fact that her friend asked to bring more people.

She heads to look for Zhongli.

CloudRetainer «Indeed, discussing with those who were connected to Shiinden in its years of activity could be the most fruitful.»
But Yang, on the other hand… XD «One is certain that the tailor will prove to be professional and reliable even with the children. Let us not have pessimistic thoughts even over these small matters!»
She nods, after hearing what he says. «One is not going to get involved, do not worry. One has not mentioned the matter with anyone else, either.» Probably due to the fact she has not met anyone who would be interested in that kind of stuff.
«A block head? Naturally you are not…» She wouldn't even joke about not complimenting him for a moment.

MORAX "I'll summon them all." All the old farts gathered together. "This needs to happen soon, as I wouldn't want Dawn to hear of it too...we have to send our people in as soon as possible.
You are right. I'm already troubling my mind way too much." He makes a slight smile.
"Then continue that way. You can always feel free to go to the school of course and eventually, we'll have to share the news with people as well, so we can indeed start gathering possible knights. You could even consider teaching there!
I am, that's also what other Archons said." He is amused though.

CloudRetainer It will be the most awkward and politically incorrect gathering Lianxi will ever experience!!
«You know best how to handle this matter, one is not as experienced.» She wouldn't know how to proceed, she is only enthusiastic about the finding.
«No, no… talking with Domitius, one realised how unprepared one is, in the field of teaching. One would first have to be taught how to teach properly…» The only thing she is not confident at, for some reasons.
She lightly pokes his nose at his words. «Other Archons spoke nonsense, then.» She smiles.

MORAX There'll be factions and even a war between the old farts!!
"I just try. Even to me, this is new...I can't say there were similar situations in Liyue.
You are so knowledgable, I find it difficult to believe you wouldn't be prepared...I thought you'd be perfect to explain the Knowledge element." He too looks up to her a lot and he means what he says.
"You are too good to me, Cloud Retainer..." He smiles slightly.

CloudRetainer They are the new Qiren, Grandpy Qiu and SongJin!!
«But you seem to have a clear mind and to be handling the situation impeccably. One knows that you are perfectly capable of adapting to new situations, when you want to.» Because she knows he will never adapt to use a phone.
»You think that one would be suitable to teach…? It is a huge responsibility, though… especially in the eyes of the Lord Suhiir…» But instill, that's pretty much the role of a Zimox of Suhiir, to spread knowledge as much as possible.
She snorts. «One has never heard those words from anyone else, though.» Probably because she is this good only with Zhongli. XD
