None. [ he pulls back out of the way of that flick before it gets anywhere near his head, despite being blind, because he's a freak and able to read motions and shit like that based on wind, but. ]
Though, it did give me an idea, if you're intent on our usual.
[Yeah, he figured as much. Literally what's even the point of stealing Gu Yun's glass besides irritating him??? If it's anything more than a prank, clearly whoever did it doesn't know the extent of his abilities, and Childe pities them T B H.
It is a little more concerning than he'd let on in public, though, because he's pretty sure Gu Yun normally wouldn't sleep through something like that??? Which makes him think it must've been some kind of ability... which is uhhhh Not Great.
But all he can really do is keep an eye out for it (haha, an eye out), and he figures it's a given that he'd do that so there's no point in saying it out loud. Instead, he just tilts his head.]
[ it's fine! he's irritated about it. gu yun's on the same wavelength as childe - that it was likely done on purpose with a power, which is deeply concerning. but, he's not going to concern himself with it right now, instead reaching into one of his pockets and pulling out a length of silk that is clearly a blindfold.
he gives it a wiggle. ] Thought I ought to level the playing field a bit.
[Wow. There are immediately a thousand quips that come to mind, and Childe very obviously wars with himself over which one to pick--but in the end, he just laughs, lifting a hand to brush his bangs out of his face.]
My goodness, how far you've come since that first week.
[every day I think about impending unlocks and I get tired]
anyway. he snorts, pulling the silk taut and smacking childe with it in the arm. he cannot see a single one of those expressions or his reaction, so he just laughs, pretends (?) to play deaf and waves it, walking breezily past him. ]
[He shakes his head, but turns to follow, because of course he does.]
Who am I to turn down a challenge from the Great Marquis himself?
[The loft looks about the same as ever--Mr. Cyclops and chopsticks are on the bedside table, and sad chair-kun is still legless in the corner, though two of the chair legs he'd kept under his bed aren't there anymore. There is also no sign of his stupid jacket... apparently he's just never getting it back.
He's not too worried--the Abyss was very dark, after all. Surely this will be just fine and not at all a repeat of Childe underestimating the difference between survival and sexytimes.]
[ it's bold of you to assume he can see any of that
anyhow. luckily, he knows his way around childe's room, because he's been here enough, so he makes his way up to the loft with no trouble and gestures in the vague direction of the bed, stopping near the foot of it to pull his hair up into a ponytail with an elastic to get it up and out of his face.
dryly; ] If you wanted to be ordered around while we're at it, that can be arranged. [ dont call him marquis in bed. or maybe do? you know its fine.
gu yun stretches out the blindfold and wiggles his fingers against it. ] Come here, then.
the whacking doesn't bother him any - he snorts, though, grinning a mischievous little gremlin grin at the idea, because that might actually be very fun - but steps up into childe's space. his palms briefly frame his cheeks for a moment as he gets the silk into place, over the bridge of his nose and up, purposefully extending the gesture a bit more than necessary. ]
I think that'd be very entertaining. [ for him, maybe. gu yun takes the final step forward to pull the silk around his eyes and tie the knot, his fingers quick and deft. ]
Do let me know if you can see anything, hm? Don't cheat. [ as he pulls his hands back, he gives childe's cheek a pinch. his fingers likely feel extra gremlin cold at the moment, unfortunately. ] Ever tried fighting like this?
[ but after the question, he'll let those chilled fingertips drift down, briefly cupping the back of his neck, winding into the curls at the back of his head, tugging, testing reactions. ]
[STOP LISTEN I DON'T TRUST GU YUN TO NOT BE THE FIRST DEAF MAN TO USE ECHOLOCATION.
He only has a moment to roll his eyes before he has to hold still, ducking his head just slightly to let Gu Yun tie the blindfold on. He makes a face at the pinch, though he doesn't jerk back at it or anything.]
Similar. Not exactly like this, though. [No blindfolded training montages for him, but he spent his most formative training period fighting in the same unnatural darkness Gu Yun saw in his memory, so it's not exactly uncomfortable.
That said, he does reach out to rest a hand lightly on Gu Yun's chest--gauging distance, tracking movements from the shift of muscles and skin. He tilts his head slightly as his senses adjust, allowing his head to be tugged backwards for just a moment before resisting and pulling forward again.] Did you?
Only once. I was in disguise, and it required a blindfold. Not something I'd repeat. [ like he hasn't done it literally his entire life.
he seems pleased at the pushback, expecting nothing less from childe at this point. gu yun keeps his hand there, providing the tension as his fingers curl a little tighter to hold him in place. ]
It's quite a test of your other senses and skills. The threat of danger makes anyone react in certain ways, as I'm sure you know - this situation perhaps isn't so dangerous.
[ or is it? a little teasing, maybe, but things between them like this always have edge. he lets childe keep his hand on his chest for now, and steps into his space, moving to back him up into the bed, each move measured and purposeful. ]
I'm sure you know your way around the dark. [ he knows from experiencing childe's memories, anyway. ] You have to learn other ways to see, whether you're prepared to or not.
[ with that, he gives more pressure, this time pushing his thigh between childe's and quickly moving his weight into his to knock him back into the bed. ]
