[Spar time spar time--Childe's sleeves are rolled down for once, but he doesn't seem to have any problem launching into the fight, and doesn't ask any questions.
Once they're through, he takes a seat, resting one arm on a drawn-up knee. At Gu Yun's words, he glances over, raising an eyebrow.]
[ fuckin knew it!!! TRICKY ASS FLEA ] He didn't use any power on me I hadn't already confirmed as one floating around from our art adventure last week, so, I assume that's how he got it.
I cleaned your knife and returned it. I doubt there's anything unique to it - people will likely think it was a kitchen knife.
[ there's a pause, and he fiddles around in his pockets for a moment, then pulls out a pair of truly ridiculous glasses ]
Then I have some sort of ability to lead them to a different one to get them off of your trail. Or just bring it with you and pass it off, if people remember to check pockets.
And if that doesn't work, I'll just confess to it. It was in self defense. I'm not particularly afraid.
But he sighs, leaning back to lay on the ground and press the back of his hand against his forehead.]
You're the only one who knows I have it, so I'd rather not bring it along. It won't look good if they find out I've had it for weeks and only now decided to start carrying it.
[So he's counting on Gu Yun to keep his word, here. There's a complicated look on his face, as he mulls that over--trust is such a difficult thing for him, after all.
But, eventually--]
I'd imagine people will focus on Aoi the most, anyway. [...he extends his foot to kick Gu Yun's, lightly.] Still, you'd better not die on me. Do you have any idea how bored I'll be?
I'd like to focus our efforts on Aoi, as well. There are others who are aware of what happened, both of whom are common contributors to trial, so as locations become more and more available tomorrow, they will know which ones to look at with a less careful eye.
[ so! though. he doesn't think it'll really be a huge issue, either. gu yun snorts, quietly, as he's kicked, and tilts his head over to look at childe the best he can while he tucks his stupid glasses in his robes. trust is a difficult, impossible thing for him to - it's strange, how trustworthy childe is, in his own way. like recognizes like, and all of that jazz. ]
I have no plans of dying. My plan is to not get caught - and if I'm caught, then I can easily use self-defense in my favor. [ so, in typical gu yun fashion, he has a plan, and a backup plan. what else is new. ]
...Oh. I want to test something out with the pod, as well, so I'll likely seek you out for another spar later this evening. It'll spread out the injuries a bit, if I'm theorizing correctly, so it'll appear like we just sparred a few times this week. Since we normally do so often, I think it'll work nicely.
[What if I stopped losing my tabs, that would be nice]
I can take a look as well, if you'd like. Seeing as one of our comrades will probably be keeping an eye on me, after what you said earlier this week.
[FUCKING MINEO, ASSUMING HE KILLED ELEANOR... tch... maybe Childe will actually get off his ass and do an investigation this week for the first fucking time.
He nods, though, sitting back up and lowering his hand. With his hair smushed weirdly, Gu Yun will probably be able to see a lovely little bruise on his forehead... or at least he could have if he wasn't fucking blind HAHA.]
You aren't worried about that little dye trick? [Though--] Well, I suppose Molly and Harrow wouldn't bother you about it anyway.
[ looks at the timing of this thread... his phone buzzes, and he pauses, for a moment, taking those ridiculous glasses and setting them on his nose. gu yun pulls the phone up very close to his face and squints at it, and then removes the glasses. yes, feel free to laugh. ]
You spent last night with him, didn't you? Did he have anything with him? Or, more importantly, I suppose, did anyone have anything different on them this morning?
[ and then, to the dye trick, he lolls his head to give childe just. A Look. he's blind as a fucking bat and it still manages to get across "are u dumb" ] Or you could just recognize where the needles are and avoid them when you open the handle.
[ USE YOUR BRAIN CHILDE!!! anyway. he's just being an ass as usual, so. ]
Look if you like. I heard the house is a location for one - it has nothing to do with me.
Edited (that wording was funnier ) 2021-03-20 02:45 (UTC)
[Childe doesn't laugh outright, but he does snort. Please wear them all the time? Hilarious.]
Who, Mahito? He had a gift from Wrath, but that's really all I noticed. I was mostly there for Endorsi, since I'd already checked on Shi Qingxuan and Medb. I didn't realize it would be such a crowd, or I would've gone elsewhere for the night.
[Since he doesn't usually like to hang with a huge group of people, because the whole point of curfewing outside his room is to help spread out and get more info... god. The curfew struggle. AND LOOK don't give him that face, sir.]
I'm never going to use them anyway, I haven't thought about it much. [Besides the admittedly hilarious fact that it "caught" two people in a row, except that one of those people was innocent. God.] I'll think about it, though. Then again, that would be even more effort just to help you out.
[He can't start being ooc now, he has his "King of Annoying Gu Yun In Public" reputation to think of :\]
Good to know. [ a pause. ] If you need me to cover for you having used your power, I can do that, as well. [ at least he can return the favor, in some small way. gu yun wrinkles his nose. ] I'd rather not owe you too much.
[Childe's brow furrows for a moment--then he remembers the conversation from earlier this week, and rolls his eyes. MINEO PLEASE GET OVER THE HICKIES.]
That's probably for the best, yes. I swapped it out, so I won't be able to use it if he asks.
[This goddamn power has caused him so much trouble for being so fucking useless??? But he'd rather just fake it and get Mineo off his back than have to sit there and field accusations about a murder he didn't do on the basis of another murder he didn't do.]
Mm. [ a wave of his hand WHICH I FORGOT he will see something purple on his palm... and would have seen it during their sensory bang too... ] I need to visit the healing pod two more times, so. I'll come find you again this afternoon. We can spar, first.
What'd you swap it for? Insomnia? Abyssal Celebrant?
[ those seem like the best choices of all the powers that were offered, so. he is curious. ]
