A Simple Yari Timing

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing.

I need a clarification for this.

After Hida Yiu enters play, can I react first with A Simple Yari to attach it to him and then react with his ability to bow someone with less than 8F? I think it is possible as I choose the order the reactions are triggered but I need a confirmation.

Thanks.

Hida Yiu 5F/1C Reaction: After Yiu enters play: Bow a target Personality with lower Force. Until that Personality leaves play, his next straightening will be negated.

A Simple Yari +3/+0 Reaction: After one of your Personalities enters play: Attach this card to him, paying all costs.

Both Reactions trigger off the same effect, so you may indeed choose the order in which to take them.
