[ smiling!! like, genuinely good natured. ]

So, Envy, hm?

[commedia]

[Oh, now that makes them grin.]

Envy? Mmm, what about him?

[liuli]

You two seem to get along especially well...

[ fufufu! chin in his hand!! tell him about envy!!! ]

[commedia]

Ahaha, well, of course. I do belong to Envy, after all. Look...

[And they gesture to the scratched eye on their shoulder. Though almost healed, its certainly there!]

[liuli]

[ oh ho?? he adjusts his liuli glass to peer at it properly. ]

Is that what that's for? I'd thought it was interesting at the trial, but I didn't think to pry.

[. . .

with a little grin. ] ... Is it alright to pry a bit in private? I am curious.

[commedia]

Mmhmm. They made it the first day we talked, one on one, priest and Avatar...

[Now that makes them chuckle, smirk twisting up to the side.]

Private? What, do you want to know if we had sex or not?

[liuli]

[ CHOKES ON HIS DRINK ]

No - not that kind of private, I just meant I wasn't going to ask about a mark like that in front of the rest of the trial!

[ JEEZ

ahem. anyway. ] They were the one who scratched it on you? Was it just because you connected so well?

[commedia]

[That just makes Douman let out a peal of laughter, highly amused.]

Oh, come now, Gu Yun? Don't tell me you become like a blushing maiden at details like that! [And they hum as they move to sip at their drink.] And yes, they did. Envy is truly a fitting title - and they show it well. They want, and want, and want. And I'm happy to provide.

[liuli]

Of course not. I just wasn't expecting that answer...

[ you just startled him!!! rude!! you know now this is a lie from the dms but that's okay.

anyway. he takes a sip from his drink, pleased with the gossip TM ] So, it's an agreement of sorts? Did you do the same...?

[commedia]

Uhuhuhuhu. This is a place for indulgence. Steel your ears a little more, Gu Yun.

[How very amusing.]

And yes, I did. I bit him on the neck in return.

[liuli]

[ a beat, and he reaches up, cupping his hand around his ear. ] Hmm?

[ --and then laughs! playful. ] Well, I suppose congratulations are in order for such a thing, yes? How nice.

[commedia]

Congratulations? Ahaha. You make it sound like we've engaged in a marriage ceremony. We only just emphasized that we know each other's place.

[???]

[SOMETIMES RELATIONSHIPS WITH CLOWNS ARE CONFUSING]

[liuli]

[


the look on his face is somewhere between "oh my god i want to know" and "i don't want to know at all" ]

Well - I suppose that's something to celebrate in and of itself, isn't it? Who says you have to say congratulations just when you've bowed three times and put on your red silks? A good connection's worth celebrating, too.

[commedia]

...

[There's a strange look on their face at that?]

Well, I came here for connections, so...yes. I suppose it is worth celebrating.

[liuli]

Connections like those? [ tapping his fingertip against his own shoulder, where douman's mark is. ]

Or in general?

[commedia]

No, not like that. Its more...

[Their brows furrow.]

Ah, its complicated. I am simply seeing if I am...if I am capable of something more.

[liuli]

[ hmmm...gu yun looks him over for a moment, expression complicated. ]

You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to. [ with that furrowed brow look, anyway. ] But, do you think it's working so far? Since arriving here, that you have been?

[commedia]

I'm not sure.

[And they drink.]

That yearning, sad feeling that its supposed to be... [And they trail off.] Mm, but I have learned that holding hands feels better than expected.

[liuli]

[ aw, buddy. ]

That's a start. [ haha! he lifts his glass. ] Cheers to that, hm?

[commedia]

Ahaha. I suppose.

[And a raise of the glass.]

Kanpai!

[liuli]

[ cute. ]

Ganbei. [ clink! he will drink to that. ]

[commedia]

[And knocking back the drink!]

Mmm. But anyways...one will hope all of this won't get in the way of that wish of mine.

[liuli]

[ a bit dryly: ] Miserable failures of trials, and all that? Or...?

[commedia]

Oh, yes. The trials. The murders...the chaos...ah, I can appreciate chaos, I can, but I will not appreciate it if it disrupts what I'm working hard on.

[liuli]

You and I are in agreement, on that.

[ gu yun, a man who never thinks there's enough chaos in the world, ]
