Is there any other option?

[ because he'll consider it, but, ultimately... gu yun knows himself, and his capabilities. he's got a solid network of people here, and even a few people who know what's coming next week. that logical, pragmatic part of him is already working to find the right angle to get his sight and hearing back.

because ultimately, the temptation to have it restored is too great for him to resist. the reward outweighs the risk, every single time.

he'll consider every option, though, as carefully as possible. a good commander always does. his voice is mostly neutral as he says it, too, eyes closed, thinking it over. ]

I will be.

[ she can't, but he can. that's who he is. the marquis of order, unflappable commander of the black iron camp. unstoppable.

gu yun tips his head to the side, to press a kiss to the hood's fabric where her cheek is. ]


I've fought off assassins without it. Multiple times. I can handle whoever's running around here causing trouble if they come after me.

I never do.

[ the pin's in his hair at the moment! he never takes it off, so.

the question has him tilting his head against hers, smiling a little at the twitch. cute. ]


Short of avoiding other people so as not to be forced to commit random acts of kindness in their direction? Nothing. Why?

[ somewhere pride's alarm went off for the second gu yun related time this week im sorry pride

anyway

that was?? a lot??? gu yun was completely fine with being climbed like a tree, actually, and it is a fantastic release of stress from a relatively miserable day, so. he's just sort of dazed, laying flat out on his back still, hair an utter mess, liuli glass off in the void somewhere

...

nice ]

Stop that.

[ he says, with literally zero heat to it, which is probably why the kindness compulsion doesn't yell at him for it too much - though, he lifted one vaguely boneless hand to pinch her in the ribs and it ended up just settling at her side, instead. he's also bright red, the flush on his cheeks from exertion only still just starting to come down and remember which direction is up. whew.

whew ]

[ laying like this, boneless and floating a bit, has him smiling back at her, warm and content, not a thought floating in that way too loud head of his. it is a nice way to live.

he watches her move down, though, and she'll feel a soft rumble of laughter in his chest when she kisses his big scar. ]
Are you trying to break me in half? I might, at this rate.

[ teasing, though, very gently and lazily. that scar does show the time he almost got cut in half, actually! funny!! it's the most stand out one, though the rest of his chest is just as covered in them. ]

You did say that, back at the beginning. [ wrecking...

anyway. yeah that sounds good. his ego deserves this after someone said kissing him was a punishment :(

with a chuckle, gu yun settles back as told, propping himself up a bit on his elbows to watch her. it feels interesting - warm, her hands are warm, and he's still contently fucked out from earlier, so it's more intimate than it is sexy, and it's. kind of nice, actually? his eyes are half closed, and he lazily lets her just touch all she likes.

just kidding i read the whole tag

it's all cute and romantic and then when her hands run down his sides he almost jerks, and a less than composed giggle bursts out of his mouth immediately -- ]
Stop, stop.

[ JOLTS AWAY FROM THAT ALSO ] Does that matter!

[ he's baby he is so ticklish. but gu yun will settle after being pinched, cheeks a little pink, flustered but willing to let her do what she wants again. no more tickles. ]

[ it super does not

anyway he knows lup knows that for later but, that's fine. gu yun is easily appeased; he settles his weight back onto his elbows to watch her and takes in a deep breath, chest rising and falling underneath lup's warms fingers. it feels good - the rare spots that are unmarked are occasionally peppered with goosebumps as she goes by.

some of the tension ever present in his shoulders starts to loosen, a bit. ]
Think that's from shrapnel. [ sometimes things explode in your vicinity a lot ]

Not sure how well that would work at home. [ some part of his logical, tactical brain does go brrrr at the idea of incorporating magic like the kind that's available through boons here but he keeps himself from spiraling too far off down that nerdy line of thinking, batting it away for now and shifting to watch lup.

she's got this way of making him feel rather... really spoiled? it's kind of funny. he's never been spoiled before. ]


I promise you, though, I'll give you nothing to worry over. [ comes his eventual reply after her kiss, as he lifts his hand to gently run his fingers through her hair, approving. he. he is clearly covered in former injuries. but there's nothing to worry about It's Fine ]

That determination of yours is quite dangerous.

[ gu yun says, amused, voice still low and comfortable. it feels like he's floating, easy and comfortable, not squirming away from the attention at all, and his mouth curls up in a lazy smile, gently reaching down to cup her cheek - and then pinching very gently at the bite. sitting back and enjoying attention like this, for all of his joking preening, is actually really nice?? this is great.

his lower half isn't much better off than his upper. scars lance over his thighs and hips, too - there's a puncture mark on his thigh that likely came from an arrow, right over an artery, and various smaller marks, too. burns, occasionally, in the spot where the ziliujin reservoirs of his black iron armor rest at his hips, and all sorts of other things. ]

[ im so deeply self conscious now im so sorry other mods

i mean!!! no, gu yun hums, the noise pleased, eyes fluttering open again to look down at her properly. ]
I rather like that about you.

[ they're both determinators, after all. gu yun's the same - unstoppable, once there's something he wants, the kind of person to see the clear line from point A to point B. as she comes up and settles back at his waist, gu yun tilts his chin up to look at her properly; it's a lot to be looked at like that, so gently, so softly, and his cheeks flush pinker than usual at it, eyes widening before his expression softens over a little, too.

gu yun lifts his hand and reaches up when she kisses him, fingertips brushing against her cheekbone, taking the joke and the stolen kiss to compose his reaction properly, pulling into a smile against her mouth. his eyes are twinkling again, gently playful. ]


Nonsense, I'll just be spoiled sweeter. [ fufu. ]
