gu yun rubs the back of his neck, now; his expression softens a little more, like he's remembering. ]
...I found him, alone in the woods outside of the town of Yanhui, where he was being attacked by wolves. I was able to rescue him before he was harmed, and return him to his family. Since I lived nearby, he formed quite the attachment to me, and I helped teach him, along with my older brother.
His parents passed on a few years later, and I took full guardianship of him immediately after.
and that comment makes gu yun laugh, propping his chin in his hands. ] Oh? Maybe, somehow, I'll find a way to introduce you. He certainly could use more friends - he's quite the shy bookworm.
[ oh, gu yun immediately starts grinning like a terrible little gremlin. ]
Isn't it? [ fufufufufu ] I can't resist teasing him sometimes - it's just too easy, and the reaction's cute! He gets so exasperated with me. Yifu this, yifu that. [ he imitates a teenager's embarrassed eyeroll and flustered huff, and then laughs, very fond on his own.
the real adult in this situation is not gu yun, actually. wow, imagine he could introduce chang geng to yuel. he'd love her! what a great father figure. ]
[ She laughs at his imitation, delighted by his relationship with his son. ]
Her name is Societte! We've been together for as long as I can remember... She always used to hide behind me when we met someone new. They'd ask her name and she'd just freeze up. [ She giggles, her feet swinging under the table. ] Sounds like Societte and Chang Geng would make a funny pair.
Training with swords and iron puppets, though he's not very good at it yet. [ then again... he might be now... what does gu yun know..... ] Cooking, too.
He didn't have much of a chance for a childhood - sometimes, I think he's a little old man instead of a teenager! So responsible.

Teenagers don't tend to have much in the way of hero worship, I don't think - but I'm glad you think so.

[ Her eyes slip closed, remembering home. ]
But the way they freeze up is what makes 'em so irresistible.
