What?
Who is this. What do you want from me, marquis? State your intentions.

Fine. Tell me what you want me to do. But know this, spirit. You've chosen the wrong person to haunt.
Hah. You think you can frighten me into passing along your curse? Think again. I'll cast you out myself, or I am not Harrow the First, the scion of the Ninth, guardian of the sacred body, the Emperor Undying's Hands and Gestures. Back to the River with you while you still have the means.
Your hauntings end here.

[Harrow can be found in the simulation room on Monday, in a dark rocky chamber, near a pool of salt water. She's sitting on a rock, her ankles submerged in the pool.]
[ this simulation room has been very interesting so far. when gu yun enters, he's not expecting another person - he announces his presence by clearing his throat, and then dips his head. how polite. ]
Sorry, Harrow - didn't realize it was occupied.
[ ... he can't help but look around, though. ] Is this yours?

Yes, it is. But please, no need to leave.
[It's kind of a gross place to choose to hang out in, but she seems comfortable here.]

We're below Castle Drearburh. This is the ceremonial pool my parents kept - we often met here to speak of family matters.
Unfortunately, I cannot say. The purpose of the pool was to discuss those things that must remain secrets of my House.
Not at all.
[She gives a wry sort of smile when he pronounces it beautiful.]
Do you think so? It is rather dull and dingy, but it is a place that makes it easier to be in my thoughts.

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?
I've never been a place like it, so the newness makes it unique. [ gu yun glances around them, taking in all the scenery. or lack thereof. ] I'm not sure if its where I'd do my thinking, but I appreciate it all the same.

Where would you do your thinking? You ought to show me. It seems a better use of my time to see other worlds, rather than mope in a pool.
Hmm. [ that makes him light up a bit, pleased with the answer. with a laugh, gu yun hops back up. ]
Well, you showed me yours - it'd be rude if I didn't show mine, hm? Alright.
[ up he goes!
where he does his thinking... gu yun takes a moment before he puts his palm on the simulator, and waits for it to work its magic. the room around them transforms, the area filling with light - before eventually, the scenery settles again.
the time of day seems to have changed to early morning - bright and crisp, with sunlight just barely peeking over the horizon. the ground crunches with fresh, new fallen snow, and just barely in the distance, near where the edge of the room would be, a line of white tents are barely visible, a black flag peeking out against the dawn. that's a military encampment, though it seems it's just before anyone's really risen for the day.
also, harrow might notice that the ground seems a bit farther away than usual?
that would be because she's on the back of a horse, much like gu yun.
he looks over, and offers a grin. ] Somehow like this, I think. I don't get much time to stop and process.

[She actually! Yelps! When she's suddenly on the back of a horse? And clings to its neck? Ahhh!]
[ surprise!!!
the horse is a very handsome black horse. it does not move or freak out upon harrow yelping, just kind of vibes. gu yun laughs, a little, though it's not meanly. ]
Sorry - suppose a warning would've been good. [ hehe ] Ever been on horseback before?

No, never.
[She's never even seen a horse! Yikes. She tries to sit up, while giving him a glare for putting her in this situation and then laughing!!!]

[ somehow, that glare feels really ineffective? he is instantly reminded of chang geng. +10 affection points.
gu yun gives the horse he's got a pat on the neck, and then dismounts, coming over to reach for harrow's horse's bridle instead. it responds easily to him, and he holds it still where they stand, reaching out with his other hand and letting it stay a bit behind harrow, in case she needs to be steadied. ]
He's probably more spooked by you than you are of him - I've got it, so go ahead and sit up, it's alright.
