[ i fell asleep writing this tag so i guess there really was no vore talk on flurryday
that gets him to laugh, actually?? jesus. it's probably a pride indulgence but it's also just kind of funny. ] Oh, I can assure you, there are plenty of things that hate me. Animals and people alike.
[ the entirety of the northern tribes, for example! the big hat western man! lots of people.
there are still questions he has to ask, but, as her anxiety fades a bit, gu yun stays settled. his emotions are still a swirling storm under all of that more familiar, light hearted cheer, but he seems to be alright in being something steady to lean on, for the moment. ]
[she'll stay there for as long as he lets her, silent, evening out. the swirl of emotion in him makes it that she can't really truly relax very well, but... she tries.
again it's mostly just numbness, and... acceptance? a gritted teeth sort of feeling.]
[ it's relatable, honestly. acceptance is the way to feel, at the moment, because it's all he really has, too. like so many things in life, it just has to happen - the bed's already been made.
there's a long ten minutes of quiet before he manages to push whatever he's feeling out of the way and focus again, closing his eyes and then opening them to turn that emotional tap again. ]
We'll achieve the impossible, somehow. I won't do anything less.

anyway when he brings his other arm up, she just sinks into him and closes her eyes, resting her head on his shoulder.]
Hard to believe anything could hate you. [does that count as giving him a pride indulgence
she's also slowly settling into something a little more relaxed. that low, thrumming anxiety has eased. mostly she's numb.]
