Well, you would've had much trouble killing me with it. Though, I can't say I blame you for the sentiment. [ a motherfucker is too used to being blind... tragique. he also understands, considering playing deaf is one of his favorite games to get out of answering questions he doesn't want to answer. so. ] I'll use this well, though - it may be just what I need. I'm expecting Mahito to have a power or two of his own, so between this and Wrath's pin, I should be alright.
Ha. [ he will try. ] I'm not sure if His Majesty, if given the option, would rather fling me out to the farthest borders of Great Liang or keep me in his pocket.
[ gu yun's relationship with the royalty is #complicated. he still, occasionally, thinks about his little adventure off through white's brain and then represses it very, very hard. ]
...He's been trying to dissolve my camp, the emperor. Much like his father before him, and in as many underhanded ways as possible. Politics, and such.
[ though the dry, idle way he says so seems to fade a bit, when mentioning the emperor before li feng. ]

Thank you, Pride.

and then remembers, awkwardly.]
You're... welcome. [hehrhrhrruughghh.]
no subject
Hard, isn't it? I'm trying to remember to mind my manners, too.
[ pride!!! it really be like that. ] You're more than welcome to just tell me to fuck off, if you prefer.
no subject
Fuck off. [but his tone is like, not very serious.]
no subject
Fuck off to you too! [ yes much better. ] I much prefer the coarseness of the military camps to the politeness of the Emperor's courts, I think.
no subject
Mm. Military camps tend to be more honest.
no subject
[ despite his own tricks and game playing - really, gu yun's a pretty honest guy. ] It's a life I wouldn't trade.
... Though. Mollymauk did point out to me, should I successfully achieve my desire here, I'll be out of those. Quite out of a job, actually.

Guess so. What would you do otherwise?
