>>the options boil down to 1. more exposition, 2. let's work together, 3. let's work together, 4. let's work together.
The options are.
>Be a complete dick.
>Passive-aggressively reminder her that Lou is in charge, and her role as Prince is a farce. (It's all about social dynamics. Ryong does NOT like being told this.)
>Offer directly to help her with her problems.
>Don't commit to anything, but say you'd be grateful. (God, you're a sap and a pushover.)
All of these have knock-on effects on how Ryong (and Safia and Tolly, who are standing behind you) are going to think of you long term. Similarly, take Safia.

Safia is running her mouth. (She's pretending to be a ditz, don't trust her. It's all an act.)

You can gently remind Safia that you don't want people calling you Nomad. (Cat's out of the bag...) Or you basically tell her to shut the fuck up. Or, if you're so inclined, you can allude to Safia that maybe later you could fuck her brains out if she's a good girl and stops talking. These all have impacts on the other characters. Ryong will remember that you tried to fuck Safia the moment you met her. It will mark you in her eyes as a certain kind of vampire. Similarly, if you put the little Tremere that nobody likes in her place, Ryong will remember that, too.
