anyway. ] I don't know. Probably. People seem to think they'll be able to squeeze information out of you, as if you knew anything.
[ gu yun clearly does not think that's the case. deeply deadpan: ] Though, I do know that you'll gladly put out information to spite others, so. What do I know.
[ once again he just sounds vaguely annoyed by this instead of anything else. for the four hundredth time this thread i hate this so much. ] If you do stay alive, you're going to be very closely guarded, I imagine.
[He rolls his eyes.] Come on, wanting to save my own neck is hardly spite. I did what I could as countermeasures, knowing who I was working against yesterday. Would you not have done the same?
[It's hardly even a question--Gu Yun told him as much when he said he wouldn't keep secrets from Harrow. Plus, Childe is simply less trusting than Gu Yun is, for obvious reasons.
He laughs a little at that, though. Ah, back to being public enemy number 1. How nostalgic.]
That's smart of them, I suppose, even if they were foolish enough to bring me here. [Finally, tbh. But he waves a hand.] I have no interest in trying again, though--this was far more trouble than it was worth. [Gave it a try, had a good run, but eh. Not worth a repeat experience. He almost certainly won't make it out of the execution ring twice.] Anyway, I still want to speak with you about what we learned from Shi Qingxuan and the others.
That's exactly why I know you did it. [ because he would've done the same! he sounds a little amused, though. ] If there's anyone I should worry about attempting to kill me, now would be an excellent time to let me know, considering I put my own reputation on the line to try and back up your alibi, and used the connections I did have to keep people away from your room and your knife.
[ but, yeah. gu yun agrees with the rest of it, making an absent noise and then pauses, stopping to get a chair and drag it over, dropping into it and sitting back. lets talk plot. ] What about it? Talk away.
You deal with your troops, and I'll deal with mine.
[Running his mouth, as Gu Yun put it, will gain him nothing at this moment. But Childe, for his part, is happy to put this all behind him, since he has the chance to do so. The others might be furious with him for playing the game as intended, but that's their problem.
Also, Gu Yun used his knife, so keeping them away from his room was the least he could do. They're even in that regard!!!
He shakes his head a little.]
Tomorrow. It's been a long day, and I need to think a bit more.
[ but yeah it's the game. it's whatever. it really be like that - he's not that worried about it. ] If anyone comes after you, it won't be because of that.
[ no just the whole.... public enemy number one thing. he waves his hand though, dismissing it. ]
There is going to be a meeting tomorrow. The subject will likely come up, besides everyone deciding what to do with you. Keep your phone on you, and do try to be subtle about it. [ not that he expects anything less. ]
He rolls his eyes at "what to do with you", but doesn't seem surprised.]
If they don't come after me, I won't go after them. [But he doesn't really need any tricks or tools to put up a good fight, and he'll do that without remorse if needed.]
