all right! so we have at least one riddle to stump the koi, did you have a question lily would want to ask?

wei wuxian's suggestion would be: who should we trust to get all of us out of this region and eastward alive

or! he can say asking what The Merchant's gains are out of helping them out... he'll try not to be offhand because that'll be how the wombat went for him!
