You see me as quite virginal, huh? [ twice now! that remark is very good natured, though. he takes it from him, taking a moment to decide if this is something he really wants to do...
... and ultimately, decides with the present company, it's alright. so. inhale. the smoke is way strong, especially for his sensitive baby nose and palate, but he valiantly is refusing to let himself cough (pride, two) --
and then molly says that and that gets abruptly ruined. gu yun coughs, wheezes. ] -- Molly, timing. What?
[He does laugh a bit at the virginal comment. It really is mostly teasing. He treats everyone as a bit virginal compared to himself, which probably isn’t fair. But it is fun to see their reactions.
At the cough though, he just reaches over to pat him on the back. Taking a long drag himself, holding it, before blowing it out. There’s a long pause before the reply, like he’s trying to figure out how to phrase things. Sort them in order.]
I’m dead and in the grave. So, as it stands, this is the time I have left.
[ giving a guy his first weed AND dropping deep philosophical information on him all at once!! this is a lot.
anyway. wheeze. that was terrible, actually. he lifts a hand to wipe his eyes, and just looks at molly for a moment, leaving the joint in his hand for now. gu yun's quiet, thoughtful too. ]
...That's a shame. I'm sorry. [ it's not the best response, but it sort of encapsulates the feeling. logically, it brings up questions, of the powers of this place, the skills of whatever brought them here, why they were brought here - from the far away eye of someone who deals with death every day. to be a soldier is to know it intimately, after all. that same logical, curious part of him wants to know why. wants to know what happened, but it mixes in with something else, too.
...short time or not, gu yun's grown to really like molly - an instant friendship indeed. a shame is putting it lightly. ] Suppose that puts making the most of it in a new light.
[ there's another pause. he watches the smoke rise in the planetarium, up, up, up to the artificial stars above. ]
I was supposed to die when I was a kid. [ six or seven, give or take. it feels weirdly freeing to just say that out loud. ] And, if those bald headed donkeys at Hu Guo are to be believed, I likely won't live much longer. No Gu ever does, and I'm the last one left.
[ ... ]
So. [ finally, gu yun offers him a grin, this time more sly. ] Guess we'll have to live it up together, while we're here. As much as possible.
That wasn’t what I saw in the cards. So who’s to say. You’ve got two opinions now.
[His expression had tightened when he said it, but he relaxes again fairly quickly, moving to lay on his back, looking up at the unfamiliar constellations instead. Easy and unconcerned. Maybe he feels a bit better after having said it out loud to someone so clearly.
He turns his head to look at Gu Yun though when he starts speaking about his past, just trying to give him an easy grin.]
Oh! Speaking of. Did you know Pride gets an alarm every time one of us fucks?
he doesn't flop back right away, staying seated with his legs crossed, gaze far away. there's a lot to unpack there, and a lot of emotions he'd rather not talk about, and....
...thankfully, molly gives him the out! he chokes, again, sounding somewhere between scandalized and delighted. ] - What? [ OH MY GOD? ]
I'll have to get on your level - I haven't rung them once! Maybe that's why they were willing to chat.
[ that's a yes, though! one of the first people he spoke to. ] Pride seems an interesting person, to say the least, though they do have good taste in wine.
Haha - we have the same taste. [ though, at this point, is this even surprising? ]
I had a good time with Wrath. They're rather warm. [ which, for gu "my circulation is utter garbage i have corpse fingers" yun is always nice. he hums, thoughtfully. ] I haven't had the chance to speak to the others, but I think I'll try to later this week.
From what I gather, they've been stuck here for a while. Apparently, it's been boring.
[ for all they know, it could be people they knew - at least gu yun had thought over the idea. still, most of them seem magically inclined, and... again, he is not.
he doesn't say that though, instead giving up and flopping backwards to join him. he's still dangling the joint between his fingers, having not taken a second puff. ]
What's your friend like? [ like lust, obviously, but besides that. ]
Sounds like a nice girl. [ he just pictures someone who looks exactly like molly but like. in a skirt. i'm sorry jester he's ancient that's the best he got.
it gets an unexplained burst of snickering out of him, though that might just be the weed. ]
[ the gigglesnorts continue for another minute or so before he settles again, still smiling, letting his eyes flutter shut for the moment and feeling... relaxed, actually. it's kind of nice. this was a good idea. ]
This - [ gesturing with the joint ] - seems an odd present from someone named Wrath.
that has him grinning, though, gesturing with the joint again. ] Agreed, agreed. Apparently, [ here, he rolls onto his side and props his chin in his free hand. dramatic. ] they seem to think me charming.
[ because you are which is horrible. ] Despite an immunity to charm effects. Whatever that means, but I believe I'll take it as a compliment.
[ He is being very charming right now? Rolling over to match his posture, facing him. He laughs, a little with him, a little at him, but extremely fond right now. ]
Can’t be Charmed? But I’m so good at that one. Does seem to end up backfiring a lot, though. People can be so shirty about it when they come out from under the effect.
[ this is not gonna mean anything to someone who has no idea about magic ]
See, I don't need that. [ you MAGIC USERS and your SPELLS and your HANDICAPS ] Can't say there'd be much reason for me to, either - I spend all my days surrounded by soldiers.

Every day of my life. [ that's an understatement. ] What time I have I've gotten on spite.

Apparently I kept waking them up.
[So, so smug about this.]
Have you spoken to them yet?

[ that's a yes, though! one of the first people he spoke to. ] Pride seems an interesting person, to say the least, though they do have good taste in wine.

[He also looks smug about this. But, anyway, he just sits there quietly for a long moment before he turns back to looking at the constellations.]
Wrath and Lust are rather nice, however.

[Now just enjoying his Weed, lazily closing his eyes to talk Shit about the NPCs.]
Reminds me of a friend, so I . . . well I couldn’t possibly say no.

What's your friend like? [ like lust, obviously, but besides that. ]
no subject
[That should explain a lot right there.]
Sweet. Funny. Knows a good joke or two in Infernal. I think everyone loves her, but it isn’t hard to see why.
no subject
The one who laughs at your deadly insults. [ that must be what that language was, infernal. sounds... hellish. (heh). ]

[Heh!]
She’s tiefling too.

They’re quite sweet unless you tease too hard. And even then they seemed a little embarrassed about it.

Well, you are rather charming.
[ maybe he just didn't hear the last part? who knows. (no he just has no idea what he's talking about. again. non magic discrimination) ]
no subject
Oh. Well, only sometimes. I have a spell called Charm as well.
no subject
See, I don't need that. [ you MAGIC USERS and your SPELLS and your HANDICAPS ] Can't say there'd be much reason for me to, either - I spend all my days surrounded by soldiers.
