anyway the mods forcing molly to sleep is the only legitimate reason for curfew ever. his brow furrows, considering that - likely adding it to a mental list - and then nods. ]
Sounds less unbelievable than mine. [ with a snort. ] The china in the tea room was dancing.
[He picks at the collar (is it a collar if it like. goes down to his navel.) of his shirt - he's already got his coat slung off and hung over his arm, so he just places it over the back of one of the chairs before he sits.]
Mn. I thought I'd just had too much to drink, at first. [ gu yun hates magic for the 100th time ] There's also this.
Here, these're from the tea room. [ he nudges one of the cucumber sandwiches across to molly. ] Trust me enough to try it? And tell me what it tastes like.
[ hmmmm. he puts the rest of the sandwich down and goes to poke around in the mini fridge for a minute, looking for literally anything to wash the chocolate taste out. stinky. ]
Was he? [ interesting... ] I didn't talk to him much. [ aside from like pretending that he was blind. poor guy. ]
I heard there was a sweet smell coming from the kitchen. Think those are related?
Grell was horrible and-- probably dangerous. I don't feel particularly strongly about a person like that not being here anymore. I suppose I don't want anyone to think I did it. I certainly didn't think of any sort of retribution.
gu yun straightens up from where he's retrieved a bottle of water, and makes his way over to sit at the other chair, unbothered by the feet on the table. (though take your shoes off inside you heathen)
he looks serious as he settles into the chair, though - the contemplative face of the marquis of order. ]
...I think it's likely the accusation will come up. But... ultimately, just with the plain facts I've seen, even if I didn't know you as well as I did, I wouldn't think it you.
Plenty of people jumped at her on Sunday for her actions. [ gu yun also thought they were shitty as hell but i sisi was only half at my computer, so. ] Considering the situation, you handled it gracefully, and to point fingers at you is the lazy answer.
[ he pops the top off of the bottle, finally, expression steeling a bit further. ] I intend to find who actually did it. I don't care particularly whether they come to any justice for her, or not. [ gu yun voice And Nothing Of Value Was Lost ] But I'm not accepting any other answer than the correct one.
[ a little snort. ] It doesn't matter. [ does he think molly's capable of doing a little stab? oh yeah. does he think molly would've gone after grell in bloodlusty revenge? probably not.
he puts his hand in his, though, once it's offered, grin returning. ] We seem to be making a habit of this.
[Molly will just gently try and tug him over closer. stop being over there with your little water bottle and smug little grin and be over here, please?]
I'm well known for my abundance of caution. [ that's such utter bullshit, and he says it as he's getting back up, making his way over to where molly's sitting and keeping his hand in his, coming to stand beside his chair, instead. ]
...I will be. [ and, eventually, the more serious answer comes too. it's a little different to look down at him like this; it feels a bit indulgent, but, gu yun reaches out and ruffles the fingers of his free hand gently through molly's dark hair. ] Though the same goes for you.
[It's all loose, soft curls, quite different from the ink black flow of gu yun's. he actually takes his feet off the table at this point, leaning his forehead against gu yun's middle, squeezing his hand a little too tight.]
And if anyone fucks with you let me know. I can do something about it.
My hero. [ he feels that, the tight squeeze - the slightly unintentional ruffle turns into a full on pet, now, soothing his fingers through those curls. he gives a little tug to let him mush his face in his stomach more fully, if he'd like. ]
Did you get something? [ from last week - yuri had mentioned that, too, during the trial. ]
[He would like to do that, yes. He lets go of his hand to just wrap around his middle instead, a bit childishly. There's a glance upward while he clearly debates continuing or not, but he does after a moment.]
I've been trying to keep it rather close to my chest, so I haven't brought up any specifics to anyone. [ the whole "people getting murdered" thing. gotta keep yourself safe and all. ] I'd wondered if perhaps Grace and White would have the same as I.
[ but for it to be matched by pride... ] If that is the case, then I'll check in with a few others to see what their results were. Likely, it will come up tomorrow, but people have no reason not to lie about it.
Truthfully, I fully intended to lie about it. Quite the powerful little charm, that, best kept in a back pocket.
[He huffs a bit of a laugh to himself. Also, now that he's gotten his one iota of emotion out of the way here, now he is just vacationing in gu yun torso-land and will just slip a hand in the front of his robe there oops.]
I actually thought of using it on Grell, but I worried she'd. [makes a face.] Enjoy it, or something.
That makes two of us. [ liars! what do you expect! ] Imagine, I become more magical by the week. I'll be unstoppable.
[ who let him have any sort of powers? ridiculous! bad.
if molly touching his skin bothers him, he doesn't really show it, as long as his fingers aren't too cold - though, if he gets anywhere near his sides, he squirms a little. otherwise, he just idly continues following the curls of his hair, thoughtful on their situation as a whole.
and that. there's a pause, and he makes a face, too. ] She probably enjoyed being killed. [ eugh. ] What a dreadful person.
[Not that cold, no. Though he is evil enough to go after that squirm, hello. gu yun is trying to solve crime and molly is now thoroughly distracted. hope law walks in on this embarrassment.]
no subject
He . . . seems fine, mostly. Maybe a little less tired than he had been during the week, what with the Enforced Bedtime.]
No, not this time. Only that when we woke up, the fuckin'-- All the healing pods were open, and it was hot as balls in there.

Just soggy bread, mostly.
[so like a cucumber sandwich.]

Chocolate. [ ugh. ] Everything from the tea room, tea included, tastes like chocolate.
