[She's wandering around (definitely not looking for him or anything!!), and when she sees him at the bar... She's grabbing a glass of water solely because it's kindness week and setting it in front of him.]
I know your tolerance is back, but you still might get a headache, you know.
[ yeah of course he's at the bar. someone gave him a big full jug of rice wine to drink from so gu yun's fine. when endorsi comes over, he cocks his head, and then offers her a grin, lifting the glass. ]
You'll have to forgive me. [ his voice sounds a little wheezy? too much smoke. ] I can barely hear a word you're saying. It was loud in there, so come a little closer, ah?
Thank you. [ lifting the water glass, though....!! ]
Louder's fine, too. [ endorsi please! he waves his hand, though. ] The explosion. I caught the beginning of it as I was coming through the door. Shook me around a bit more than I liked. It'll fade, I'm just still getting used to it -- I feel a bit like I got rattled around in a suit of Iron Armor that overheated, at the moment.
[ yeah, not at all. he sips from his boozy drink, not the water, neutral as ever. ] Even a convicted war criminal gets a chance to say their last words, whether people want to hear them or not. I wasn't going to let it go on any further than that.
Mnm. She wasn't a threat to me for a myriad of reasons. She hits me with her fists all the time when she's mad at something I say, and it feels like being pelted with pebbles.
Something like that. [ meimei, and all. ] I do think me being chosen for this was likely in the veins of 'entertainment', because of it. I wasn't going to give anyone the satisfaction.
Me too. Every time I've had to be nice to another person who doesn't deserve it, I've felt myself getting a worse and worse headache. I keep having to be kind to Childe.
[ friend (derogatory)
sighs. ] I keep thinking it won't be worse, which is perhaps my first mistake. Last week wasn't that bad.

[Something about the way he asks her to come closer makes her hesitate, which is probably just her being paranoid, but it's fine.]
Was it really that loud? The cracking wood, or something else?
no subject
[ at least it'll fade. ]
no subject
[A pause, and then:]
Well, at least you didn't hesitate as long as most of the others have. That could have been messy.

no subject
[the idea of letting someone have their last words?? wild.]
no subject
[ maybe. ] I like to run my mouth, so I suppose I'd want the same. Ha.
no subject
[don't just agree]
Well, I guess she wasn't really a threat to you, especially with that... choice of attire.
[misa isn't here so she can judge the fuck out of her even though she herself has worn heels in battle]
no subject
he takes a long sip of his booze. jesus. ]

You two were close?

no subject
I'm sorry, then.
no subject
Thanks. [ kindness week says.
there's a pause. ]
...This week is the worst, isn't it.
no subject
[her mean girls spirit has been suffering so much]
Hopefully whatever comes next isn't nearly this annoying.
no subject
[ friend (derogatory)

no subject
[She sighs, though. Kindness is truly hell.]
This might even be worse than the week with our memories...
no subject
You know how a cat looks upon its own reflection in the mirror, and swats at it? Feels a bit like that.
[ that answers nothing. ] But, I agree. I think this particularly unique form of torture was the absolute opposite of indulgent.
no subject
[Somehow, she understands that perfectly! And she gives Gu Yun a thoughtful look for a second before she shrugs.]
The two of you seem pretty different to me, but maybe you're seeing something I don't.
no subject
[ he grins, mischievous! ]
no subject
[there is an expression that says she would be saying that differently if she could, probably.]
Maybe it just is!
no subject
Maybe. Well, we can't all match horns with someone. [ wehehe ]
no subject
[she knows very well but also she will be memorizing his exact answer for when kindness week is over]
no subject
[ sorry
he's deaf! ]
no subject
[this is a dangerous smile........]
