fluffier | 7rings: gu yun

[ Emboldened by her discussion with Sloth, Yuel immediately storms the kitchen, furiously running between all of the vending machines to churn out as much fish as she can possibly can.

There's just. There's a lot of fish. It's cooked at least, but it still smells very strongly of fish. ]

[ gu yun doesn't have any special powers, but he does have the absolute nose of a dog, so when the entire base starts smelling like fish, it draws his attention. he follows his sniffer out from wherever he's hanging out to the kitchen, wanders over, and leans on the doorframe.

sniff.

that is a lot of fish. ] ...Well, if I didn't know better, I think I'd just walked into the piers at Jiangnan. What are you up to, miss?

[ Yuel stops in her tracks to smile at Gu Yun, looking at him over the pile of fish on the kitchen island. ]

I'm indulgin'.

[ ...

this is so weirdly pure? he laughs, gently teasing; ] You might not leave any for the ocean, at this rate.

That's the plan. [ 👍 ] You can have some if ya want.

Oh? It does smell good - how kind of you.

[ gu yun smiles in response, and trots up to investigate, hands behind his back. ] Do you need any help? Seems like you've got quite the operation here.

[ She's going to pick up one fish and pick off some of the flesh to eat, looking around at the place. ]

I'm startin' ta think... that I can't actually eat all of this.

It is a lot of fish.

[ what's the most indulgent thing to do here. ] Perhaps just eat until you can't, and share the leftovers? Indulgent and thoughtful.

[ Yuel is leaving nothing but a pile of bones in her wake as she charges through the fish. ]

I kinda think bein' thoughtful is the opposite of what we're supposed to do? [ . . . ] Unless I stuff someone else full of food?

Maybe someone's a glutton for kindness.

[ the idea seems to amuse him, honestly. he's watching yuel just absolutely mow down this food, now, propping his chin in his hand. this is impressive?? ] Though, if you're looking to share, I wouldn't mind a meal. Yuel, right?

That's right! How'd ja know my name?

[ She has not being using her cell phone at all. ]

Magic. [ he winks.

...and then laughs, pulling out the phone. ] Actually, I've got a bit of a cheater's hand. Have you not looked through this odd thing?

[ She's going to crowd next to him to take a look. ]

It didn't seem that interestin'.

[ Presumably he has the contacts page up, and her eyebrows fly up. ]

We're all there. So yer Gu Yun? Or Zi Xi?

That's me. You can call me whichever you want - I'm not picky.

[ zixi is his courtesy name, after all. nice of them to put it on there for him!

he flips through the contacts and opens his own page to let yuel read it, if she'd like. ] There's information on everyone - you should take a look. I'm trying to memorize everyone's names.
