[ listen if he could magically summon flowers from his dreams he would!!! alas you get the flower of the northwest only.
gu yun makes a 'tsk' noise at first, when molly starts to reach for his arm. if he pushes back the sleeve of his robe, which is being worn loose today, he will find gu yun still can't move his left arm, but maybe more importantly...
his hand's a skeleton hand instead of a stump! outside bones. he doesn't quite wince, but, does look away at like, anywhere but molly's facial expression right now. ] It's not done yet. I'll spend the night in there again tonight, I just couldn't any longer.
OUTSIDE BONES OUTSIDE BONES NEVER FORGET YOUR HAND IS OUTSIDE BONES
[ terrible! he seems mostly blase about it, at least. honestly, he's got the basic structure of a hand now, so he's feeling absolutely good enough to go snoop around. he's fine. ]
You might have to, anyhow. If I go back in there, I'll be pulled back into the healing pod - it happened to all of us this morning, and when I stepped back in to fetch something, I was pulled right back into it. Either someone's playing a trick on me, or it's another one of our odd effects.
[ gu yun lets him check out his new outside bones though, without any trouble. ] How was your night?
[He will inspect the outside bones for a moment before he lets him put his sleeve back down. then he just bonks his forehead against his shoulder. who knows if gu yun can even feel that.]
I woke up alive, so as fine as one can expect, really. [He glances up, just briefly.] Do not tell Harrow I told you this, or she'll turn my hands into bones as well, but she was quite upset too.
[ he absolutely can not feel it, nope. stab him with your horns, molly, he won't even notice. ]
Hah. [ gu yun's laugh is dry, but, he sounds fond. ] She told me to shut up last night when I pointed out that she cared.
[ eventually, he reaches up with his good hand and pats the top of his curls, briefly, because they're there. at least his right hand like. kind of works. ] Did you two stay together?
[the horns are on the side of his head he's fine!!! molly will eventually pick his head up from gu yun's shoulder anyway, but he's still pretty. touchy feely.
[ touchy feely is fine, too! gu yun lets molly lead him off where he likes, eventually going to drop down - he doesn't need to sit, he's fine, but he goes obediently nonetheless and stretches his legs where he's sitting, leaving his bone hand useless in his lap as he counts off, recalling. ]
Mm... Childe, Law, Misa, myself, and both Wrath and Despair.
[ a whole party. ] We all woke up in the pods in the morning, not just Childe and I.
[He just sits there for a second - honestly, he'd asked, but he's barely listening. There are so many problems everyone is having and three people are dead and he's so fucking worried about so many of you fucks?
just reaching over to put a hand on gu yun's face, turning it towards himself.]
I still haven't been given flowers or jewelry, so I'm still allowed to be angry.
he's not really expecting that, ready to move into business mode - as his face is turned towards molly, his expression is just a bit surprised, though he meets his gaze easily, mouth pulling into a wry smile as usual. ]
When I learn to summon them in my sleep, I'll bring you a mountain of plum blossoms. [ with a soft huff, and a twinkle in his eyes: ] This humble servant is deeply apologetic.
Good. You can carry them to me with your fucked up little skeleton hand. Bastard.
[Business is stupid, and also for two minutes from now. People are dead. People could still die? He does not trust the record of the past two weekends. He would like at least one kiss that is somewhat good to start with actually. Doing just that, leaning in gently and giving him just a chaste brush of the lips.]
Fine. Accepted. Let it be known, the Dragon Emperor knows the meaning of mercy.
[ is it rude to laugh in the middle of a kiss? probably. it's a soft, amused noise, gentle, the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile. whether if that's for the first comment or the last, who knows. ]
How lucky, to serve someone so benevolent. [ that comment comes dripping with sarcasm, but the undercurrent of fondness that goes with it is near obvious. (also, because, there's only one emperor he's quite so pious towards; it's easy to fall into the affectionate nature of the comment.) as molly pulls away, gu yun follows after, and kisses him again, just for the sake of doing so. it's soft, just as gentle. the kind of kiss you definitely share with your bro. ]
I am something of a bastard. [ a huff. ] But, if I disappear like that, I intend to always come back. Skeleton hand or otherwise.
It's alright because he's laughing too, not hard, just that same sort of soft and amused noise as he's chased.]
Good to know. Maybe just give me, I don't know-- five whole days without having to frantically worry about someone or other disappearing or otherwise coming to harm?
[... Anyway! That got a little real. Sitting back.]
No promises. [ considering the chaos of this place, he's going to go like. two days before worry, probably. there's sincerity to it, though, a gently amused warmth that colors his tone.
....but, yeah. agreed. let's move on and away from the customs of sweetly kissing your homies in flower gardens. the motion to sit is a little more awkward than he would like - the damned lack of sensitivity in his arm is throwing him off, and he ends up just leaning back against the bench. a dream, huh. ] What'd you dream about? If it's me, I'm flattered.
[On personal request, Mollymauk will now gently take that numb wrist and hold it.]
Only every other day.
[Then lifting the arm and gently smacking gu yun in the face with his own horrible little skeleton hand? don't be obnoxious.]
It was of eyes. Not red ones, in case you're wondering. Sloth knocked me out cold with a kiss and I can "see where a piece of evidence" is now. Or something.
[ gu yun feels the sudden inexplicable urge to smack ming yi with his skeleton hand ]
[ i mean, no, he doesn't. being hit with your own outside bones is a weird sensation when you can't feel them. mostly because he can still feel it on his face? rude. his nose wrinkles up, eyes shutting, a little exaggerated and altogether amused with himself and his little jokes. ]
... Oh, who's the favorite of the Avatars now? [ a bit teasing. ] Sounds useful, though. I imagine we'll be busy tomorrow - best to hold onto it for the crucial moment.
They should have given this one to someone actually smart . . .
[now he has like. 12 eyes? it's too many goddamn eyes.]
I thought - should we end up in a situation like last time. Being told to look around the room we are in for evidence. Perhaps it could be of use there. Or if we're struggling to think of places to search.
[Who knows if it functions exactly like that, though.]
Probably. [ he's fully expecting to get smacked with his own skeleton hand again for that, though it devolves into snickering because he's clearly kidding. ]
In all seriousness, I think that's what I'd likely use it for, too, so. Sounds like it was gifted to the right person. [ you're FINE molly, help us find that evidence with your special eyes. ] I'll try to do as much as I can tomorrow to organize things.
[ maybe the third time will be the charm? we failed tutorial so i doubt it ]

[anyway hi, molly is here in the biome, it isn't like it takes very long to around this place - just immediately checking gu yun's arm? rudely.]
Don't take any roses, Pride'll end you.

Oh. That's a look, that.
[He doesn't seem that freaked. It's kinda fascinating, actually?]
Guess I can come sit outside it if you're bored.
i knew you would enjoy this the most
