gu yun, in his kindness (?) figured that if anyone was going to be mortified about the events of earlier, it was probably going to be shi qingxuan. she gets flustered so easily anyway, it's probably not surprising. so!! he's summoned her to hang out in his room, emotion shares just radiating placid, easy amusement after a full bottle of wine split between them. ]
Think of it this way, meimei, everything you confessed to was exciting, at least.
I didn't even really confess to it! Molly and— and Ming-xiong confessed for me. I don't really remember what I was thinking at the time, but I think it was something like, "better not to sully their ears with all the sordid details"...?!
[she's just
mortified. yeah. and maybe a little more drunk than she should be off a single bottle of wine, but gu yun is not the only person who's tried to calm her down with alcohol in the immediate aftermath of All Of That.]
I am never eating that sort of cake again.
[
it's not that it was angel cake that's the problem, it's that it was a suspicious cake just left out in the open, you fool.]
[ gu yun laughs, at that, reaching over to just refill qingxuan's glass. he's also been drinking quite a bit - sobriety's not as close as he'd usually like it, but, hey! ]
I already knew. [ about the god threesome, anyway. that probably isn't surprising, considering the third participant. ] Terribly sorry, but I think it's rather something not to be ashamed of - though, eating random food despite all the lessons we've learned otherwise is. The cake was not the problem, meimei.
[ his emotions radiate amusement, teasing... though there's a little bit of exhaustion too, because good god you would think we wouldn't have to go over this all the time. he reaches out to give her a pat on the back.
and then leans in, a little conspiratory. fufu. ] I'll tell you a secret, I've had a couple of those, and you would not be able to guess with who.
[of course he already knew. there's a little bit of embarrassment at that - mostly just because she's not used to having her sex life discussed with other people - but there's fondness, too. she really can't be mad at molly.
...also, it's sort of flattering he enjoyed it enough to talk about it? that's something to unpack.]
Ahaha... well, you do have a point about eating that. [a beat.] I won't do it again.
[probably.
gu yun leaning in to share that secret makes her giggle. it also make her cheeks flush faintly, and she brings up her fan to lightly fan herself. maybe it's just that alcohol is loosening her tongue a bit, but - ]
I wonder which of us has had more of them? I bet you couldn't guess everyone I've had them with, either.
anyway. shi qingxuan's honor can be saved (maybe) because it wasn't talked about much in details. he just laughs, and immediately latches onto the way qingxuan flushes and reacts, grinning a little devilishly at the thought of a guessing game. ]
Goodness, meimei, have you been busy? [ teasing! ] I'll admit to the number - there've only been two for me.
Let's see... you've had one with Molly and Ming Yi. What about Meg?
[shi qingxuan's honor absolutely cannot be saved, because she actually smirks when gu yun admits how many he's had.]
Ahaha... I've had three. Looks like I have you beat, Gu-xiong!
[her cheeks are flushed, but she's trying very hard not to get embarrassed. if she treats it like she's teasing him, maybe it'll be fine? she just wants to pretend this is back in zhongguo where she's the most shameless person in the room (other than general pei).]
...okay, you've guessed one of them, but you really will never guess the others.
[ it's unfortunate that gu yun is actually the most shameless person in the room at all times so good luck with that shi qingxuan! imagine that you would've had pei ming otherwise.
anyway. he just grins, delighted. ] Well, by guessing, then I have you beat - two to zero.
[ so one to figure out! hmm... ]
Let's make a game of it, shall we? We are so very good at drinking games. Back and forth? I'll ask a yes or no question, and drink if it's no, and we can carry on.
[ ah... mmm. the fall of her face is kind of obvious, and there's a little immediate awkwardness and worry on gu yun's end, mostly because even six weeks into this he still absolutely does not know how to deal with that. ]
... I'm sorry to hear that.
[ downer but also
didn't expect her to say that because there are a lot of dead people over there that aren't good taste, ]
[looks at canon. her taste is questionable, we both know this.
gu yun, perhaps, does not know this, but he might.]
No... they're both gone.
[she takes a long drink of her wine (why??) and forces a smile. it's fine! it's fine. (she doesn't feel fine but she is Trying. she doesn't want people to worry about her; there's a flare-up of frustration that she keeps doing it.)]
Hmm... your other participant! Was it Primrose? You two seemed somewhat close, before.
well. that's a good distraction! gu yun downs his entire wine glass, wipes his mouth, and laughs. ]
You've caught me! Though, I confess, the other that I had was the much more interesting, in terms of gossip.
[ though the fact that gu "i want to shove childe's face in the dirt" yun and childe "gu yun is the most obnoxious person in the world" tartaglia banged is probably kind of interesting. ]
But I'm not good at thinking. You're the one who's good at thinking!
Unconventional... Unconventional... [a beat.] You don't like gods and temples, so sleeping with one would be unconventional for you... Did you sleep with Ming-xiong, too?
w6, post angel cake lol

Very well, that works. Do your worst!
no subject
[ might as well get that out of the way. ]
no subject
[wehehe.]
Let's see, who would be most surprising to hear you slept with... was Childe involved in any of yours?
no subject
Tragically, yes. I wouldn't recommend it, by the way. [ he will drink to his failed question though. ]
Were both participants in yours besides you the same gender?
no subject
[ohhh she'll regret that when she sobers up.]
Ah. Yes, they were.
no subject
gu yun props his chin on his hand. ]
Fufu. I see!
no subject
[she drinks, not because of any of the questions, but because her drink is there.]
Hmm... Were both participants in yours the same gender, Gu-xiong?
no subject
[ hehe, your turn! he's a true bisexual.... ]
That doesn't surprise me, anyhow. [ re: childe. he's kind of finicky. ] Did yours happen after the ones I've already guessed?
no subject
After one of them, before the other.
[hmm... who would childe agree to a threesome with...]
Was one of yours with Medb?
no subject
[ which in this place feels like a rarity..... lol. ]
Are both participants still around?
no subject
[given... how medb is and how he is? anyway, she drinks, and her face falls a little. oof.]
...no, they're not.
no subject
... I'm sorry to hear that.
[ downer but also
didn't expect her to say that because there are a lot of dead people over there that aren't good taste, ]
Is it just one of them that's gone?
no subject

no subject
Is that so? Ahaha, Gu-xiong, give me a hint, I want to know who it was!
no subject
Hmmmm. A hint, should I be so kind? [ teasing, teasing, as he's pouring himself another glass. ]
I've already given you at least one! A second... perhaps it may seem a bit unconventional. Think carefully.
no subject
But I'm not good at thinking. You're the one who's good at thinking!
Unconventional... Unconventional... [a beat.] You don't like gods and temples, so sleeping with one would be unconventional for you... Did you sleep with Ming-xiong, too?
no subject
he just bursts out laughing at this guess i'm so sorry ] No - no, no way! Are you kidding? Absolutely not my type, not even a little.
Ahh. I suppose it'll just remain a mystery. [ bullies ]
