She smiles lightly. 

"I'm glad." 

"So if I recall the plan, next is the basically-a-cultivator girl, Lu Si Na, who needs to safely land an unfortunate fall off a cliff. Plan at this point is to be a traveler of a completely different tradition and try to travel with them until the fall. Maybe frame it in terms of learning from each other, even if we can't teach each other the actual abilities? Dunno."

She shakes her head and grins. "Thoughts on that and an outfit? My usual styles won't be legible here."

"Silken robes are traditional - though I will say that nothing prevents you from simply wearing whatever you personally prefer, given that you are aiming to come across as somewhat alien."

She hums lightly. 

"I think that's a reasonable plan? I would consider seeing about scouting out the area and the trials that she'd likely undertake, if you can, but following along with them seems like a reasonable enough framework."  

"Hm. Could maybe apparate ahead in the direction of travel, do a few sky-high apparations to get an overview of the terrain and then pop back down? I suppose I could ask about the route and trials."

She hums and nods. 

"Those options are hardly mutually exclusive - I'd expect it'd be well within his capabilities to influence the details of the trial considerably beyond what you'd otherwise encounter, there." 

"Think they're likely to have negative opinions about snug, stretchy clothes I can move in? As for presenting as alien, I can't really avoid it to an extent. My abilities aren't likely to fit into their system at all, nor will I be able to learn theirs properly."

"I do think it's not entirely impossible to emulate the talents of this world within your budget, but it's unlikely you could truly convince him that you are a worthy peer, so I don't think there's too much benefit in trying to blend in courting his favour." 

She closes her eyes in thought for a moment. 

"I don't believe so? As I understand it, it's not too unusual for a martial path to have odd requirements or to attract eccentric practicioners - I think it would only be a problem if you plan on fitting into the common folk's expectations."
