[ the kitchen's a popular spot today, huh! gu yun's been in and out, and at the moment, he's squinting at his options on the vending machine screen, still trying to subtly figure out exactly how this thing works...
hearing someone else enter, he glances briefly over his shoulder, and then inclines his head. ]
Do you have any recommendations for this thing? I think I may be paralyzed by indecision.

Hm? I don't know what you like. But it you're paralyzed...
[She moves closer to the machine and just slams her hand on whatever option is closest. Hopefully it's not something hideous! She's helping.]
There.

There.
[As she watches this happen:]
Oh, I've heard those are good. Of course, I'd never eat them, they're way too fattening for a girl like me.

[Lightly:]
Aren't you a man?
[A muffin comes out.]
Aren't you a man?
[A muffin comes out.]
Aren't I?
[ in an equally light tone, almost idly.
anyway!!! a muffin! he's never seen this before either. gu yun picks it up, examining it thoughtfully, turning it around in his hand. he had a cupcake yesterday, so this is kind of? similar? ] This looks a bit too sweet.
[ smack. this is fun. ]

[A bowl of roasted carrots comes out.]
Oh, those are good...
[god she loves food]

[
ugh vegetables. well, they're not green, i guess. ] I'll take your word for it. Really, these ought to be mixed into something.
[ to hide the flavor of the vegetables. are you five? yeah. ] You're quite the connoisseur... let's see. [ recalling, recalling... ] Endorsi, right?

Ah, bad taste! How unfortunate.
[She's taking these carrots, thanks. She nods, though!]
And you're Gu Yun, the military leader. [...] Ah, speaking of those profiles, when it says daddy issues... Does that mean you just don't get along with your father? I've never heard that term before.

I get that a lot.
[ the bad taste part anyway. he laughs at his clever joke, turning his attention to the screen, and there is a brief moment where his hand stutters in smacking the screen again to make more food come out.
these profiles are the worst actually. ]
My father's long dead, so if there are issues, they must be buried. [ are they, bud ]

Ah... That sounds complicated.
Ah... That sounds complicated.
If it is, I haven't noticed it!
[ that comes with a laugh and a grin!! he has no issues! none at all. none relating with any older male figure in his life, ever!
the machine pops out a bowl of granola and some yogurt, which... is foreign but looks fine, i guess. he takes it, heading over to take a seat somewhere nearby.
there's a beat, though, and then he frowns. ] --Unless, I suppose, it was referring to Chang Geng? That's rude. Who wrote these things anyhow.

[Juicy! Her gossip... She takes a seat.]
Oh? Do you have two fathers?
Oh? Do you have two fathers?
[She does not know the heavy and cursed connotations of the word daddy, so she just nods along. It's better for everyone.]
Oh! Do you cause him or her a lot of issues, then?

Fifteen? Oh, right...
[She looks briefly puzzled by the age before she remembers that all of them are babies according to the profiles. Wild.]
So, younger than even the youngest people here?
[Just so she can get a vantage point.]

That's right. It'd be a bit odd if we were any closer in age, don't you think?
[ considering gu yun is pretty young himself. he takes a bite of his yogurt, gesturing with the spoon after. ] Actually, it's only recently that he's even started to lose the baby fat off of his cheeks. It surprised me, the last time I saw him.
[ he does sound fond, there. and a little like. bemused. it's fine. ]

Honestly, all of your ages seem odd to me in the first place...
[why is she surrounded by infants who look older than her
Anyways, she pauses.]
The last time you saw him? Do you not see him often?

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult. [ that comes with a laugh. he's young and spry, please.
but! to the second part, he nods, expression shifting a bit into something more thoughtful. ] Mm. I'm a commander, like you said. Not much time spent at home.

It's just a statement! Don't overthink it.
[Normally she might ask why she has someone as his ward in that case, but that kind of situation isn't too unfamiliar to her, so.]
Is he especially strong?

[ gu yun tilts his head, thoughtfully... ]
He's certainly special, but I don't know if I'd say strong. [ snickering a little fondly to himself. ] I've seen him lose fights to a training dummy too many times to count.
[ oh, if only it was a crau. ] That's an interesting question to ask, though. Why do you want to know?

[She taps her chin.]
Well, where I come from, the most important families only adopt children with especially great skill and talent! How else would they elevate their family name?
