a picture book, huh. gu yun scoots forward to look at the pictures. is this...a Lore Book? or a random book... and for the first bit, he shrugs a shoulder, sounding mostly nonchalant, though he does scoff. ]

Not particularly. It's just logic - and besides, magic isn't real in my normal circumstances. The closest we have to it would be having your fortune read by a charlatan, and I can tell you with no uncertainty that I would rather leap into a cactus and cover myself in vinegar than spend more than thirty seconds in the presence of anyone who claims they can magically discern what's to come.

[ gu yun

has some strong feelings about this. he's too pragmatic to lean on the mystical practices of the temple of his world, and this place is no exception. he's only going to be using any sort of time magic by force or necessity. ] It seems a fool's endeavor.

[ as for my new retainer the otter, gu yun makes a thoughtful noise, tapping his pen against his book. ] I did. We had an interesting conversation. Did you?
