"Oh and those gatherings I was telling you about, we had one a few weeks ago over at Petal Dancer Pavilion to determine the rights to a spattering of Spirit Jade mines as well as Qi Wellsprings, and that one got very heated extremely fast.
All that is just for me to tell you... whenever these gatherings happen, we're 'friends' with everyone until we begin competing. Then you'll see that the friendships we have with one another are strenuous and surface level only."
Angelina sighed and said "That's not entirely true. We have many friends in all of the Sects that actually care about being close to us for more than just the benefits that come from knowing someone in our Sect.", causing Maria to chuckle as she gave me a shake of her head and mouthed 'Nope'.
