[they don't clarify that they mean not only wrath but mollymauk as well, but they don't think it's necessary to elaborate either. gu yun seems to understand precisely what the point is.]
...Pride, most likely, won't let you fail. And Wrath provided what she could. [but now there's a tinge of curiosity in their tone.]
[ yeah. yeah!! he is aware. (': he made molly a promise, after all. no one left behind.
anyhow. the question is fine, and gu yun doesn't seem to mind admitting it. ] Mahito.
I've been warned specifically to mind what I say around him, because he's a wild card, and dangerous when he feels like he's been put in a corner. So, it follows that if I were to goad someone, he is an excellent choice.
For choice of target, or for the plan itself? I have a second target in mind if necessary, but I'd really rather not, even though it would be easier.
For the plan, I've got a couple of ideas. It will depend a lot on what Pride gives me, but at the moment, I'm working off the idea that I don't have that, and will have to plan accordingly. I also want to wait until I can get a sense [ ha ] of whatever new locations will be available to me, in case I can use them to my advantage. So, I'll have more concrete back up plans on Monday, I imagine.
So, at the moment, I have a solid first plan, and more flexible second and third plans. I don't like to run into issues unprepared.
Be sure to detail your plan to Wrath as well. I imagine she'll want to know what you're doing before it happens. [and greed is going to stay out of it.]
[ points to eyes points to greed we're going to be friends now ]
Thanks. [ he's a little amused, it seems, huffing. ] ... How long do you think until your vision heals over properly? I can give you some tips to handle it until then.
I was just thinking, that you and I have something in common, is all.
[ amused!!! ]
A few months ago, I was nearly blown to pieces in a battle. Survived it, [ childe was exactly right he is a fucking cockroach ] but my troops were nowhere near out of the woods when I regained consciousness. I asked my doctor to strap me into my armor so I could go back out into the field and command them - I knew it would stabilize my broken bones enough that I could carry on.
[ gu yun pulls a face. ] When I refused to leave once things had settled -- there were still directions to be given and movement plans to be made -- my second in command put some sort of chemical concoction on a cloth over my mouth and nose so I fell unconscious. I woke up in bed.
[ he literally had to be chloroformed into not working ]
I agree with you. I was fine, it wasn't as if I was directly challenging Barbarians, just reminding them that I existed and they had better watch their back. I wasn't going to leave my men stranded without a commander.
Completely disrespectful. [they sound mildly scandalized? they would hate that. so much.]
I suppose it's their way of showing they "care" or what have you. But I don't see what's so wrong about continuing to work when there's clearly still work to be done.
[ finally someone who gets it!!!! i hope wrath appears out of the ether and smacks them both upside the head. ]
Exactly. I'm careful. It's not like I was going to get blown up again. If my body is still capable, then I should be completing my duty. And if it's not capable, then I'll find a way to make it capable. It isn't that difficult.
It truly isn't. There are ways to learn how to work around set-backs. It's when you don't even attempt to utilize those that you fail yourself and those around you.
[ something crosses his face that's just a little more serious, at that, as he glances up at the faint pinpricks of the planetarium's ceiling, stars he can barely see. ]
...Agreed. [ setbacks - that's something he's worked around his entire life. ] I've never let anything slow me down, and I won't now. I didn't become the Marquis of Order by sitting on my laurels.

I imagine it will mostly be restored by Monday if nothing else happens. Or, at least, those are my hopes.

If you have a means of continuing, then there's no excuses. [yeah they're similar enough about that regard, gross.]
I suppose once your troops noticed they also overreacted?
