[Added to the list of knowledge Inigo apparently doesn't have--tigers, lunatics, the vast insubstantiality of what's going on with Iris and Li Lianhua--how to handle revelations like this. Thinking about it too much and then going so uncommonly far as to ask questions and say things, just a bewildering array of things, when that's not even what this conversation is supposed to be about. Some information is to be just accepted like a rock into an overgrown pond, with no ripples. Why is Inigo thinking about it when Di Feisheng himself is not. Why is Inigo having an opinion about it when Di Feisheng is mostly not doing that either.]
Then don't think about it. It's just part of the explanation.
[This is wretched. He should throw this device into whatever Li Lianhua cooks next, or see if he has any tables that need propping up with it. This is vile.]
They are indeed nice to me. They are still dangerous, particularly to each other. That's why I negotiated for a kind of responsibility for either side. So Iris asked me to explain, as a neutral party. Li Lianhua thinks she will turn on me and that no good can come of associating with her, even if she means well now.
[Unfortunately, the rest of the explanation is not readily at hand, and it comes as yet another shock.]
I don't actually know what Iris thinks of him, besides that he makes a good opponent in things that don't matter. Maybe I should have asked.
