[ great liang is a surprisingly open place! usually moreso in the south, but gu yun travels around enough you catch word of all the things, and he decided a while ago he doesn't really care, not to mentioned [redacted] and [redacted]. ]

Oh, does it? [ you can't just say that and not explain wtf ]

[probe]

Oh, I was trying to hold back because I didn't know what you're into and I'm not that kind of uh, you know. Consent is sexy.

[they gesture absently while holding one of his hands.]

[liuli]

[ this answer is weirdly charming?! it gets him to laugh, a little surprised, and he ducks his head, grinning. ] Very.

I really don't mind either way - though, this'll be a first.

[ which part??? the magic warm hands? the fact that it's all happening quickly? the fact that he can't see their face?



the all of it??? ] Not knowing which, that is. [ it's the (checks date on this thread) all of it ] Don't hold back on my account.

[probe]

[sighs in the date of this thread

they hum.]

I won't. You sure I'm not going to make Mollymauk jealous?

[liuli]

[ he looks so completely thrown for a loop by this

?? ??? ????? ]

.... Yes?


[ STOP MY SHIP ]

[probe]

[they just dissolve into giggles.]

I practically watched the question marks come up over your head right now, that was hysterical.

[liuli]

[ THEY'RE STILL THERE YOU BROKE HIM ]

You - what? [ WHAT? ] Hey, stop laughing!

[probe]

[THAT JUST MAKES THEM LAUGH HARDER]

[liuli]

[ NO HIS DIGNITY ]

Very funny. [ this is where he would pull their cheeks if he could SEE THEM. the shameless gu yun, defeated! he's attempting to wriggle a hand free to pinch them in the side instead! ]

[probe]

[they shriek, just a little EEK! and then slap at his hand.]

You're right, it is very funny. [they bring a hand up to wipe at their eye, or - like, presumably they do that.] I'm just asking. I'm not into cucking, babe.

[liuli]

[ THIS IS THE WORST!!!!! dont turn the tables on him ]

Still don't know what that means. [ mutter, mutter. this is mostly just saying, because he can put together the context - and at spotting a ticklish place, he immediately does the exact same thing on the other side. ha! ]

Molly and I get on well. Do you think this flower so easily plucked?

[probe]

[oh my GOD, they bat at his hands, stop pinching them!!]

No, but sometimes all it takes is, uh, the right kind of bee? Pollen? I don't know what the metaphor is here. [sniff.] I like Molly, too.

... Hmmm.

[liuli]

[ . . .


he just raises an eyebrow.

i, sisi, am going to kill you, mod who i think i know who you are ]

[probe]

[:eyes:]

Well, there's always threesomes!

[liuli]

[ im too scared to guess what if im wrong

anyway, that's. roughly the answer he was expecting but jesus. are his ears a little red? shut up. ] You're really thinking ahead, huh. Am I not enough for you? [ he will stop attempting to assault them with pinches now, touching his heart. ] That hurts my feelings.

[ it doesn't ]

[probe]

[don't just tease the mods like this

they just hum, reaching up to rest a hand on the side of his face.]

The concern is more that I'm not good enough for you. [they say, cheerfully.] You haven't seen anything yet.

[liuli]

[ frogholdingknife.png ]

Counting yourself out already? [ hmm. he tips his head into the warmth of the hand, gaze flicking from it to the void of their hood, his dark eyes curious. ] While I'm flattered by your compliment, I do like to form my own opinions.

Besides. [ a sniff, closing his eyes, mouth quirked up at the corners. ] I met a tiefling. My knowledge is growing unbelievably other-worldly. [ while he's mostly ragging on himself for the fact that he knows nothing about magic, it's also pointing out that everything with magic is new and exciting. see, fire hands. ]

[probe]

[hums innocently,

they very carefully stroke his cheek with their thumb.]

I like to play a little harder to get, Gu Yun. [they tell him, solemn. but then, as a follow up, they just laugh.] Tieflings are rad.

We have a few demons here. Or, uh, demon adjacents.

[liuli]

[ he stays like that, eyes closed for the moment. it's still weird, to be touched so much, but hey! sometimes you get thrown into a game of indulgence. ]

Are you implying I don't? [ a beat. ] I'll have you know, I'm a flower in all sorts of ways.

[ is

is he telling the truth? ]

[probe]

[they just like touching, is all. also, a beat.]

... Aaaare you telling me you're a virgin?

[liuli]

Am I?


[


he is ]

[probe]

Don't tell me that, I'm going to break you.

[wrath, please.]

[liuli]

[ oh ho? ]

I would love to see you try.

[probe]

[their hands flash a little, a spark of a flame - it's not actually hot, just maybe a little startling.]

Hm. [they trail that hand down the side of his face, and trace his jaw instead.]

You will.

[liuli]

[ he doesn't even flinch. nerves of steel, baby! and then wrath broke his neck and freed me from playing a stupid obnoxious twink

alas that's probably not the case. gu yun's grin returns, settled, all peach blossom eyes. ]

What is it you said? You wanted me to hold something against you?
