he's not going to acknowledge either of those. the first because he can insinuate. the second, because... well. pride is. Pride. gu "i'm fine please ignore that my entire hand is missing" yun can relate.
instead: ]
Come have a drink with me then. I can barely hear you anyhow, so it should be relatively peaceful.
[ a moment's quiet, and then, muffled, like it's through water, pride's voice. ]
Remember when I said you needed a bell? This is why.
[ his sense of humor hasn't changed much, though. deadpan, he pats the seat beside him. there are already two wine glasses and a bottle of red set out. ] I likely would've felt the wind when you moved.
and he just sighs and puts his hand on his forehead, rubbing between his eyebrows. there's like no heat to this: ] Oh, shut up, I don't get to regrow my head if I'm dumped into a vat of whatever that was.
[ SIGH. ]
I can tell you with honesty, I don't know why I expected either of them to react otherwise. They're the only two people who know about my senses, though, one by choice and one by memory, and I'm not telling anyone else. [ a pause. ] I talked to Molly afterwards, though.
That's correct, yes. I really hate losing, you see, so it's made me rather creative over the years.
[ the marquis of order... is actually kind of chaotic. this doesn't really come as a surprise, though. ]
I can absolutely make it look like self-defense. Nothing's changed. I told Harrow that I'd defend myself if I was attacked, and she insisted that I survive. Similarly, I told Molly my plan, and found we had, nearly word for word, the exact same plan, save with a different person. So.
I had a bit to lose, in that had them both staring at me as if I'd killed their favorite chicken and served it for dinner, but, ultimately, knowing I'll have people to watch my back in the upcoming week was worth it.
[a pause, and he sighs as he pushes his hood back in order to drink.
the crown looks... fresh? it looks like it's still growing out of his skull, like it isn't quite finished. he's also bleeding in several places, not that he seems to care.]
Mollymauk is also an idiot. [and he's not here so pride can trash talk!] They won't sell you out, but don't be surprised if they try to stop you, even if you did tell them what you're doing it for.
[ which is why he has to be sure it's self defense. or.. that it looks especially like it.
luckily, he can't see all that well without being really rude, though he does adjust his liuli glass on his nose, glancing briefly to the side. it's nice to see pride with a head! this is a marked improvement. ]
Actually... I think we all have some... things in common. That's probably why we're on this team. [ gu yun will finally go for his glass and take a sip, as well. he sees you, bleeding all over the place. it's what he would do! ]

Yes. Mollymauk is an idiot. [that's the thing you have in common. he can say this because mollymauk isn't here and he's IMPLYING it.] You saw what happened to Amane. Follow through.
[ he laughs, lifting his glass. to the idiot comment, likely, because at least they all recognize it! they're all stupid.
taking a drink, he quips, amused: ] You keep leading me on like this. 'Talk to me when you've planned something'. 'Talk to me next week.' 'Talk to me Thursday'. Didn't think you were such a tease.
...The only way that I'm backing out is if some other way to get my medicine shows up. And I sincerely doubt it will, since I'm sure Wrath would have found it, otherwise. I'm not staying like this longer than absolutely necessary.
he doesn't sound particularly annoyed by it, though, just shaking his head and taking a drink. ] So am I, though. I'm sure you can respect the fact that I'm a planner - and I'm already running into this quite blind. How about Tuesday?

The crown wasn't fully grown in until this morning.
no subject
I'm glad you're alright, Pride. Relatively speaking. Lust was terrified.
no subject
Or rather I suppose it is, but it's the first time it's been torn out by someone else.
... Lust will be fine. I'm fine.

anyway, he shows up at the bar, hood up. he's holding himself in a way that seems like he's still in pain, but is ignoring it.]
Don't know if you can sense me or not. [he says, louder than normal.]

I can still hear a little, for now.
no subject
[don't be a dick, pride. anyway, they sit down.] Would've solved your problem if you had just allowed yourself to fall, earlier.
Then you wouldn't have to deal with the consequences of choosing the worst possible people to tell about your plan to kill someone.

You have to understand that waiting until Thursday is putting a lot of faith in the effectiveness of whatever it is you're planning on giving me.
