[ wehehe. he's feeling a little cheered after a remarkably shitty two days. ]
What can I say? I've planned a few secret crossings at Chencang Roads over the years. [ sometimes, strategy requires you to be a little underhanded. gu yun is really good at it - it's why his black iron camp has thrived. after all, he's fresh off of a huge disguise plot involving a fake invasion that he pretended was happening... ]
I don't intend to be caught, and I certainly won't make it obvious. However, if I am, I'll be able to rely on the use of self-defense to plead my case. I'm not the only person who has had suspicions of Mahito as perhaps a bit less than savory. That, and if I allow a couple of people to see that I can't see well - perhaps I'll claim my liuli glass is stolen early in the week - then I can hinge on the fact that I'm simply blind, and therefore, would've been an easy target for someone. This humble, blinded Gu Yun only just had to fight back for his life, you see.
There are a few factors that are less easy to predict, and things I need to plan out carefully. I'll need to get my hands on some sort of weapon, for example, though I suppose I could use my bare hands. I also won't be able to talk much, but there are a few people I can rely on on Saturday if necessary.

Wrath said she'd look into another option, but. If I hesitate for too long, then I'll miss the window of opportunity.
[ ... ] I'm not going to this week. There's enough going on right now , and I don't have enough time to set things in motion properly. If she's able to find another way for me to get my medicine, then I'll take it.
But if by the end of the week, there's nothing, and Mahito's not already been killed by someone else, then I'll move forward with the plan.
[ naturally. he's not sharing the plans of any of this with anyone quite yet - there's still a week to go, after all. even then, he's built something of a tenuous trust with pride since the last time he fucked it up so. gu yun's careful about his information when it's necessary, anyway. like plotting murder! very necessary.
the second part makes gu yun huff, a low noise. ] She is certainly full of surprises.
[ his is much fonder sounding, though he keeps it muted. he trusts wrath to find it, if it can be found. ]
I won't put the cart before the horse quite yet, but that is how it stands. [ see look he had a plan arent you proud ]
[ he shrugs his shoulder. ] About thirty percent of my vision, give or take. The liuli glass helps, but it's useless once the vision's completely gone.
It'll lessen out over the week and be gone by Sunday night.
[hopefully that thirty percent is good enough for this, because finally, pride takes down his hood!
underneath is a man! a small, kind of gaunt man, with coarse black hair that's pulled back into a ponytail. his gold eyes are catlike, a slit pupil. he has long, pointy ears, dark circles around his eyes, and fangs that poke out from his mouth. but the most important thing to note is the thorn crown made of pure gold around his head. it seems to be growing in and out of his skull, and digs in painfully here and there.
it's a little rusty in parts.]
Then I suppose it's good that you got here before Sunday.
he's genuinely surprised, actually. gu yun blinks, opening his mouth and closing it, because whatever he was going to say just goes right out of his head. the last person he's expecting to give in a little early would be pride.
... ]
... I hope this isn't a sign you're somehow aware of a fact that I'm going to die this week, or something. [ that's. a joke. this surprised him so much. ] Huh.
.... [ hrgh ] Thanks. For showing me. [ and then, with a little more of a grin. ] You'll have to again once I've gotten my senses back so I can get a clearer picture. [ fufu. ]
he laughs, a little gremlin, pleased with himself but also just sort of delighted in general. amazing. ]
What! You were. I won't forget what your face looks like so easily, you know. I'm an expert at memorizing things, they don't just disappear when they're gone.

I doubt Wrath will find anything. But she's surprised plenty of people before. [the way they say this makes it seem like this is not a compliment.]
