You make this too tempting to resist.
Seriously, though, this is the wrong time and place for such things.
Armaiti is a member on our team, and a great asset of the Fire Temple. Intervening on her behalf is our duty both as a Fire Lord and as her friend. It is not just her business. As for the difference in how you do it, B carries heavy undertones of 'you are committing a grave mistake, let me show you why' - which I suppose it
is, while C, even if we manage to pull it off, carries the undertones of 'ooh, this is going to be fun, why don't I join?' The thing is, the situation is decidedly not fun, and I don't want to treat it as such - not to mention that with C the risks are much higher, for you and Armaiti both. This is extremely irresponsible of you as of the leader of your group.
Besides, I don't think Jing thought this one through. If we win in C and beat Zhang senseless, as the choice suggests we hope to do, what is the next step? Kill Zhang? Order Armaiti to step down?
Maybe something unexpected will happen to turn choices and consequences on their heads (for example, I can't see A working as intended - isn't the challenge sounded already? Even if we talk Armaiti down, what is there to talk down Zhang?), but right now I just don't see much in terms of favorable outcomes for C.
This flop was short-lived. Back to
B.
