Yunxu is as impeccable and charming as always, taking various accusations in stride and perfectly content to let others take center stage. More than once during the forum, he's approached by various kedan, quietly asking about the Chihuelan prisoners; his answer, however, is always the same. He's discovered the Chihuelan threat is greater than imagined, and is already taking steps to ensure no one else is hurt. The soul gem muggings, he will freely admit, have him completely baffled. Any help the Foreigners are willing to offer, he says, would be greatly appreciated.

Meisheng, Yunxu's second-in-command, is also at the forum. However, unlike before, she isn't at his side. Quite the contrary, she seems to be taking every excuse available to sit or stand as far from the leader of the Snakes as she possibly can. She looks exactly the same as she did during her previous console announcement, as if she hasn't shapeshifted even once all month - and for those who know her, that's uncharacteristic enough to be worthy of note.
