Aren't you supposed to be an excellent cook? Have you been feeding me teeth? Lup.
[ this is very stupid, but he eggs it on anyway, because it's just a fact of life that the happier and more at peace gu yun is the more annoying he is. therefore, he uses one of those stuck limbs to dig his fingers into her side. hehehe no escape ]
Sometimes they do, depending on how early in the morning. [ stop
he does stop poking at her though, settling his hand back against the flat of lup's back instead and making himself comfortable. of all of the options of people to be stuck to, this is a pretty ideal option. ]
You know, you're welcome to sleep here whenever you like. Whenever you're finished, tomorrow, and return - I'd be more surprised not to find you in this bed, I think.
[... well, see, that just makes her exhale slowly.]
Fuck. [she says, and then she laughs, a hiccupy little noise, leaning up to kiss him against the jaw.] I - not fuck, just! That was intensely romantic, babe.
[for her, anyway.] ... I need to tell you, though, I - I'm sorry. For all of this. For not telling you.
[ it was??? well, no surprise reflects on his face because he's good at hiding it, but -- apparently that was romantic! huh. well.
he glances down at her the best that he can, though, and then huffs, feeling a wash of fondness before he closes his eyes again. ]
If it makes you feel any better, I didn't trust any of you, at all, from the start. [ this is a little dryly. ] That never stopped me from enjoying spending time with you, or from getting to know you, either. I can't say that it surprised me.
Similarly, though. I can't say it surprised me either, that you wanted to help. So, apology accepted. [ the difference between lup and 'wrath', isn't it?
she'll hear his voice soften a bit, after that. ] ...I can say without a doubt that I've never met anyone like you before, Lup. [ the people in great liang are wonderful but also. kind of boring! things you learn through inter-dimensional travel murder games. ] So, I'm glad we met, as well.
[she curls her fingers a little more tightly, closing her eyes. it's not burning and it won't hurt, but the flame half of her is bright and alive, the cracks in her skin glowing. as always, it's hard for her to not feel as much as she does.]
Thank you.
[for a lot of things. it's really all she can manage to say.]

there’s a pause. almost imperceptibly, his arm tightens around her. ]
...are you all planning to go do something like Pride and the others did, last time?

Nah. I'll be fine. I just have some stuff I'm going to fix.

his palm flattens out against her back, and gu yun frowns over her shoulder, worry creasing his brow. ]
Don't pull teeth from tiger's mouths. [ and be careful, though he doesn't say it. ] Perhaps you'll be giving me a gray hair, this time.

I'm going to feed you your own if you don't stop poking me! [this means nothing because she would never.]

And ruin my smile? You wouldn't. You love my smile. [ what a fucking goblin ]

Unfortunately. [she tells him, teasing.] Stop poking me. You're my pillow, pillows don't poke.

and then she sinks into his side with a sigh.]
... I might take you up on that. [she murmurs.] After everything, I'll uh, I'll take what I can get.
[whatever grace he'll give her.]
no subject
that's better, anyway. he tips his chin up, resting it on top of her head. if they're stuck there, it's fine.
for a moment, his eyes flick open, looking at the wall across. ]
So take, then. [ a little softer. ] You may be surprised at what there is to give.
