It's been so long since I read SWBtS that I can't remember what Baoxiang was actually up to at the Spring Hunt but this is a lovely little tragedy-averting vignette, although I don't suppose the leopard shares this sentiment. Esen being all girly about a smile from Ouyang is both hilarious and yet believable. And I'm glad to get more of Baoxiang, who I remember really liking.
