I don't know that it exactly matters - perhaps they were just trying to get under my skin for their own amusement - but I get the impression they don't really have a concern for any lives here. Something or other about serving some other master, definite implication of eating souls, and they rudely got their bad energy all over my deck.
[He looks down at his glass. thinks of the Eye card, sitting on the table.]
[ hmmm. less the deck itself, but, the description... ]
...I'll keep it in mind. Suppose that would explain gluttony.
[ soul eating! hate it! maybe they vored kaz. who knows. ] It's not that we really know any of their motivations regarding us or this place, either, and I doubt that's going to come to light anytime soon.
Did you do that for any of the others? Read them, that is. [ curious... ]
Told me that my lies and dark shadow would one day consume me, or something! Pssh! What of it. Did get an interesting pair of boots out of it if you'd like to see them on me though.
[stop joking to escape the feelies,]
No. Not yet at any rate. Maybe only if they promise not to flip shit.
[ bleak. ] Suppose that would make two of us to that, though, so, at least we'll go down together. [ stop joking to escape the feelies... two!
anyway. ] You'd think being a hooded, faceless being to us would make them [ as a whole, anyway ] a bit less sensitive to the whims of fortune telling. [ but then again!! gu yun also hates fortune telling! so what does he know. ]
[Oh, there's a twitch in his expression and he reaches over to flick him in the forehead at the Moonweaver comment. Not hard, just an admonishment. Some loyalties do lay beneath it seems.]
Ah-- Harrow. I was told I could either sleep properly or lie down and die, which I believe was meant as encouragement. And I'm not . . . exactly avoiding it, as much as when I just lay there, thinking of nothing, I start thinking of things I don't particularly want to dwell on. It isn't my favorite.
That does sound like Harrow. She told me something rather similar earlier this week. [ "if you're in pain, stop being an infant and own up to it". bless her heart.
there's a quiet, thoughtful moment as molly finishes, though. it's not an unfamiliar feeling, lying in bed awake at night. ] ...I suppose the true solution, then, is not giving yourself time to think, between wakefulness and sleep. The sort where you blink, and then it's morning. [ drinking. nearly dying in a battle. simply staying up until you can't anymore. things like that. ] There are healthy ways and unhealthy ways.
[ there's a beat; molly's hand is still over his, and gu yun shifts, lifting his wrist to turn his hand over, palm up, under molly's. ]
Does company help? [ ...it could be something like being kept up talking to someone, too. ]

[Then he laughs.]
Anyway, I've been threatened with going to speak to one of them about sleeping properly. So Sloth is likely the choice there.
no subject
anyway, ] Ah - though, so you should. Who's threatening you into sleep? Seems like a wise person.
[ says gu yun who doesn't sleep much either. ] Is there anything that helps, particularly, or are you trying to avoid it on purpose?
no subject

He laces his fingers with gu yun's, the red eye on the back of his hand shifting with the skin.]
Company helps.

[ so...
if company helps, then he'll provide it. a part of him is embarrassed; the tips of his ears are red.
but he squeezes his hand. ]
