[ casino time! gu yun's over by the ticket exchange counter, gathering up... sticky hands, it looks like? he's fancily dressed thanks to the effect of this room. he's also got his liuli glass back!! thanks harrow!
hearing someone else come by, he looks up! and then gives her a little nod of his head. his emotions go from recognition at being spotted to... something else along the lines of understanding. ]
Sheila. You look lovely. [ also emotion week does mean you can tell his compliments are very sincere. the marquis of order is a gentleman! ]
[Congrats on your eyesight, Gu Yun! Sheila herself is dressed in a glitzy gown, with only her left leg visible through the slit on her dress. Her right leg is completely buried in the material, but she avoids stepping on the hem when she saddles up to him.]
Aw, thank you! [Flattered, happy, amused. Positive emotions here, man. And then, genuinely:] You look pretty dashing, yourself. And—
[She gestures at the liuli glass.]
I see you got your monocle back! How'd you find it?
[ wehehe!!! yes. and thank god, honestly, because sisi was tired of writing that. he reaches up to adjust it on his nose. ] Harrow managed to get me a new one from the Avatars. Apparently, she got it early on Sunday, but it was "withheld for bad behavior until after the execution".
[ he says this like a child who has been scolded and has to repeat what their mother told them, except it is incredibly mischievous and silly. fufufu. sheila can probably tell he's grateful to harrow, even if he's teasing and joking about it. ]
Nevertheless, I'm thrilled - I've been exploring the floors from last week and this as much as my eyes can take it.
[ with a laugh; ] Honestly, it could be anything. I think I do things that classify as her definition of 'bad behavior' each time we converse.
[ his emotions loop right in with hers, equally fond. gu yun stans harrow, tbh. ]
Thank you. [ yaaaay ] It's been quite interesting to explore everything up here, too. I'll admit, this place is a bit modern for me, but a gambling den is a gambling den no matter the time period, ah?
[ hmmm... thoughtfully, he turns, looking out at the casino itself. ]
Those. [ pointing to the slot machines. ] And there is a surprising lack of mahjong. Otherwise, the rest of it seems rather familiar. Are you a gambling woman much, Sheila?
Oh - it's a game. [ DOES HE GET TO TEACH SHEILA SOMETHING, FINALLY??? ] Usually played by four people, though. The goal is to match together ivory tiles by design and type in pairs until you get a 'mahjong', four melds and one pair.
It moves quite quickly! [ putting a hand to his chin and laughing. ] I've seen wars started over games of it.

[She is very fond as she talks about Harrow, tbh. She stans one bone girl.]
I'm seriously happy for you, though. I mean it! I was starting to worry you'd be stuck like that.

[A very serious girl who accuses men of murder midtrial and gets it right. What a champ.]
Nowadays, we just call them casinos. What's new to you, anyway? There's nothing I don't recognize on this floor.

[Maybe she should schedule a trip to Las Vegas after all this... That would be fun.
After a beat:]
Wait. What's mahjong?

Huh. So... like dominos, but with a higher rate of violence?
