I have never gossiped a day in my life.

[ (x) doubt ]

Besides, you were the one that told me about that. [ reaching up to poke him gently on the forehead. ] With Wrath's tattoo.

Oh, did I admit that? I forgot, honestly. Thought you had just seen it yourself.

[poked, letting his head loll back a bit as he pretends its the strongest poke in the world.]

I'll try very hard to resist the urge, but it might overtake me. Just tell you its a beautiful flower and you'll press the correct ball to turn in the direction you want.

[ he's like going to scoot into that space, actually, to smush his cold nose into the column of his neck as vengeance (?) but molly goes and says that, and he tilts his head to give him such a Look ]

I will never forgive you. [ DON'T YOU DARE HE'S PRETTY ]

[just looking that same amount of self-assured smug that he always does? this seems like a great and wonderful plan?]

You would.

[Smug!!!!!!!!!]

[

starts to roll away like he's leaving ]

[sorry just laughing! bye! go ahead, follow through. leave your warm spot.]

[ wait a minute

rolls back over. reaches up. honks his nose. ]

This is my room. [ :T

he's clearly not actually that bothered but he will murder you if you put a dick on him deadass ]

[honked! grabbing that hand and kissing it, and then trying to tug him back in closer now that he's got the arm captured. stop throwing a hissy fit.]

A few more hours of my wonderful voice and this is how you want to spend it? Yelling at me about dick tattoos that haven't happened?

I'm just making my opinion perfectly clear.

[ it's... a little sobering, to think of it that way. for a while, the idea had moved to the back of gu yun's mind, distracted by the simple glee of a night like this, but, it's brought to the forefront again here. he lets molly pull him in close again, tucking close against him like it's easy. ]

...Few more hours. How should we spend it, then, oh wise Dragon Emperor? We've been rather busy.

[He hadn't meant it cruelly or anything, just. that. yeah. maybe best not to waste it. Or is it a waste at all, to laugh like that? Probably not.]

Isn't as if we can't be busy next week. Won't stop me if you're still up for it.

.. I will be, if you are.

[ he tilts his head up for a moment, just. looking at molly, taking in his features while he still can. ] Suppose you can add that you've fucked a blind and a deaf man onto your list.

I'm very impressive, aren't I?

[He isn't normally opposed to be looked at, he loves being looked at, but he can tell there's something searching in the gaze and he suddenly looks a bit shy, which is a weird expression on him of all people. fidgeting with the piercing in his septum and moving to lay back down.]

... Harrow asked me a funny question the other day.

[ what is that face?? he's mostly blind at the moment, but he looks... almost shy? huh.

well, no time to focus on it. settling back in. ] What was that?

[Just feels like a lot to be measured up for romantic Last Looks! What if his makeup is streaky (it is) or he's got a zit (probably not).]

After this is all said and done, what's your plan? What's the thing you're going to do when you get home?

[ ... that... is a funny question.

he blinks, for a moment, and then looks away from molly's face, his brow furrowing, thinking. serious thought. ]

...Well... if my desire's granted....

[ ............................ ] I.

...Retire? I guess I'll have to retire?

[ ??????????????? ]

[WHEEZE LAUGHING, rolling onto his back and bit and covering his mouth with a hand while he just loses it a bit]

You're going to wish yourself out of a job! My gods! Smart decision, Marquis!

[ DIDN'T THINK THIS THROUGH.PNG ]

I - oh, shut up, I wasn't exactly thinking about my livelihood! [ AAAA HE'S HAVING A CRISIS sometimes you accidentally erase your own identity because you just fucking love your country so much

he just kind of sputters a bit, like a machine out of power. ] I've never even - my entire life has been the military. What am I supposed to do, run off and open a makeup shop in a village somewhere? Settle down and buy some cows? What sort of problems do normal people have?

I always thought I'd be dead before I made it to retirement. Not that I'd be 23...

[He just curls closer, kissing him on the cheek. there there, whiny baby.]

You're asking me what normal people do? I'm a carnie who picked up a pair of swords and decided to be a ragtag adventurer. What in the hells do I know about normal people problems?

[huffing softly.]

Suppose that's good though? You've got time to figure it out. What you want to do. Could be a makeup shop and a few cows? Though I don't see that really being your style. Is that your style?

[ thank you for the quarterlife crisis

jesus. he's thinking about it now, though, trying to push past the "error 404 answer not found" because his literal entire life is constructed around the peace of great liang. that's why he's here. it's why if he's successful, he'll. be out of a job apparently. ]

In a makeup shop, I suppose I could look at beautiful people all day, that wouldn't be so bad. [ ... ] But... I think I'd be bored to tears.

[ he frowns, like he's realizing. ] I don't even have any hobbies, really. Short of trying to pick up music every now and then. I don't really... I don't know what I'd do.[ no one should encourage this hobby because he's tone deaf.

gu yun shifts, tilting his head to look at molly. a little... lost, almost? not badly so, just. processing. ] Maybe I'll become a ragtag adventurer myself.

[ that at least sounds more exciting than cows. ]

It's certainly exciting when you aren't being impaled.

[haha]

You could run off and join the circus!

Are you calling me a clown?

[ playfully sticking his tongue out! ]

I'd know, wouldn't I?

[sticking his forked tongue out back at him]

[ he just ends up grinning, which is stupid. ]

I'd be in good company, I suppose.

What about you, Molly? Did you have an existential crisis over the same question?

Nope.

[He sounds so certain so quickly. Just kicking one leg over the other, tail lightly smacking the bed.]

I was promised a month off in Nicodranas. Place by the ocean, apparently. And to get to meet Jester's very attractive mother - The Ruby of the Sea. I've been looking forward to it.

[ what's it like to have it so together??? can't relate.... ]

Sounds lovely. [ he closes his eyes, for a moment, trying to imagine a life relaxed, out by the coast. he doesn't know what any of those places are, or what jester looks like, short of the faint memory of when they shared them, all those weeks ago.

... it sounds nice, either way. ] And well deserved.
