[she appears! teleports in, as usual. she looks mostly the same as always, with her gloves, lava hair and other things. there are more cracks along her face, though.
anyway! she darts up behind him and takes his hand in hers, leaning forward to smile at him, and he'll feel a burst of affection and something a little desperate in sincerity, mixed with anxiety.]
[ the sound of footsteps is easy to pick up on, and gu yun turns his head back a bit just in time to be met with a smiling wrath. hand in hers, he's hit with all of those emotions at once - and it is a lot for his stupid little emotion pea brain, but she gets back a similar rush of affection, and a touch of worry, too. ]
Hello, baobei - I truly do feel spoiled, getting to see you so often this week. [ fufu ]
he couldn't actually until yesterday, but he's been keenly watching wrath, so. he wasn't about to say that at the meeting. his emotions are mostly neutral, because he's good at keeping them under control - self control in most aspects is one of his things - but there's a soft, immediate tinge of worry and care. ]
.. They mentioned today that it was because of indulgence -the more people that indulge in your aspect, the more it causes you to change. Similarly, the more you indulge, the more it affects you. Is that true?
[ he squeezes her hand, once, tight. there's a flicker of worry underneath a lot of sharp as iron resolve. he's processing, filtering through his thoughts - and trying to pick what to say, too. emotional fortitude has never really been his strong suit. ]
To gain our desires, to prevent our comrades from being 'consumed', to do anything - the key to it is indulging. But, indulging causes you to transform like this, too.
[ what a mess. ]
... What do you want, Lup? [ not necessarily her 'desire', per se, but - ] What can I do?
[ a pause, and he glances around briefly, then stops walking, giving a gentle tug on that gloved hand. it's funny - that's the second time this week he's felt that exact combination of emotions from someone else. his own respond, affected, even if he doesn't show it on his face. ]
...Let's go upstairs. [ that's not home, obviously, but it's - more private, maybe, than open on the beach, to have this conversation. ]
[she holds his hand tightly, and teleports them - upstairs, to her room. it looks the same as ever, but he's probably observant enough to see that there are a stack of what look like letters on her desk. her bed is also an unmade mess.]
once they're up here, gu yun takes off his liuli glass - he's popped the lens out in favor for a cosmetic one from the infinity closet so he can wear it around, since his sight is good enough that he doesn't need it, then pockets it with his free hand, glancing over to the letters. he wants to ask, and will, putting it away for a moment and instead letting her lead the way - wherever she wants to go. ]
... How long have you been here, Lup? Besides just a while.
Edited (eh ill get to that in a minute ) 2021-03-23 17:52 (UTC)
[she just pulls him to her bed, really. it's the only place to sit other than her desk. she sits him down, and then sighs before heading across the room to the little bathroom that's connected. she's going to change into pajamas. this is a pajamas talk.]
[ this is absolutely a pajamas talk, yeah. gu yun nudges out of his boots so he doesn't get any sand anywhere, but otherwise just shifts to sit on the bed, watching lup as she makes her way across the room to go change.
seven months...six weeks with them, then. ]
... I went to do a little investigating, earlier, and I believe I saw a memory of yours. You'd been here for three months, then, and it felt - rather like this now. [ like the indulgence center. like she was a participant, considering what all was being talked about. death threats. ] What happened, that brought you from there to where you are now?
[ scooting over a bit to make room on the bed! but. ]
You were talking to a girl with bushy brown hair. [ he makes a gesture roughly, at her height and also her hair. ] That you all had lost track of time - and about someone named Fenris, who made a death threat against you.
[ lup will feel his immense displeasure at that pretty much immediately, a fierce sort of protectiveness. ]
Ah, yeah. [...] Hermione. The girl's name. [a little wave of wobbly sadness, grief.] Uh, Fenris mostly - we were all there for so long and he just did not like me. I pushed him a bit too hard once or twice and he just figured I'd be an acceptable uh, target.
It wasn't like this, back then. Your set up? We didn't have any of that. It was way more lawless.
[i can't remember if i've described how weird her hair feels, but. it's a silky, almost liquid texture. she still seems to enjoy it, though.]
Like uh, no Thursday night kills, for one. People just decided things were taking too long and tried to murder each other. Sometimes they got caught by other people, sometimes they didn't. Sometimes we didn't even find a body until a week later.
... You know, I just found this out recently. Fenris was going to kill me. He asked Despair to help him.
[ yes because he likes playing with it! even if it's lava, it feels nice, particularly to his already sensitive sense of touch, so. stroking through it and watching it move around his fingers is a nice metric as he thinks about the circumstances. no real emotional reaction besides the furrowing of his brow, but.
... then there's that flash of displeasure again. gu yun dislikes this person on principle actually. ]
That plan wasn't successful. [ his tone's a little sour, there, sharp with sarcasm. it better not have been!!!!! ]

Room afterwards, I think.
Meet you there.
[ and he will be at the beach in a few!! still in his robes, though he's carrying his boots, long hair pulled into a loose ponytail. ]

as lup gets comfy, he reaches over to run his fingers through her hair, just because it's close by. ]
How so? [ he can sort of get a picture, but. there's still that nagging feeling of dislike fuck this guy in particular, but as an emotion. ]
