[ limbo can find luo binghe a bit later in the evening, after the trial itself. all things considered, he... seems to be in a really good mood? he's in the kitchen, long hair more ruffled than earlier, tending to what looks like a kettle. there's a little box of tea beside him, and a mug. midnight snack, maybe?
who knows. anyway, he's just vibin. what's up jingle man ]
[ a shrug of his shoulders, as he returns to minding the kettle, nudging the box towards limbo to pick ahatever tea he wants. if he doesnt know what an onmyouji is he doesnt show it. ]
We were able to catch someone, weren’t we? Despite all of the setbacks.
Well, One was an accident, one lost his mind, and I guess the last one was noble enough to confess...if that is what you indeed call a victory, then sure.
[Just reaches to pluck a tea bag from the box. Ooh, chamomile.]
Killing someone's still killing someone, no matter how you wrap it in a bow.
[ shrug. he doesn't really care about bedevere's noble cause, to be honest. chang geng was at least sort of culturally similar to himself - it was what helped binghe pick up on the clues to catch his killer. whether he was a good person or not, he probably didn't deserve death.... probably. it's the satisfaction of a job well done.
And hm? Oh, Ryan...Endorsi said that he was killed by an icicle falling down, right? If that is true, then really, an unfortunate accident. Karma must have caught up to him.
[ whatever. honestly if endorsi made it happen somehow.... she’s valid all the girls can do anything they want forever. ]
We don’t even know who he killed. Either one of the two swordsmen, or the boy with the rat. [ binghe learn names.
the kettle whistles, and he goes to fetch it, pouring the tea like this conversation is not about lots of recently dead people. ] If what happened to him is any indicator, the others will likely see karma, too
The ones who haven’t done anything? Who knows. The odds seem stacked for death either way.
As for Lucilius - [ his nose wrinkles, briefly, remembering. actually, it’s even better that limbo’s found his way here. ] You were the one who said you were at Cang Qiong, weren’t you? With him and the other one. [ the poison the poison for lucilius lucilius’s fuck poison ]
I was. Oh, and what a delight that little adventure was! You were quite the precious little flower back before you became what you are now, Luo Binghe!
[Limbo is this the time,]
But yes. He had the poison. "Without a Cure". But Belial informed me that the day he returned, they, well, took care of that problem. So it shouldn't have been an issue.
A descent to hell. Opening yourself open to powers beyond belief. The resentments...the desires, overflowing for revenge against your master...
[He lifts a sleeve up to cover his mouth, as if bashful, but the glint in his eyes is quite dark.]
I can't even continue. I must admit. It made my heart throb...ah, I can't even think of it more. This humble priest feels overtaken with emotions...I may lose my mind.
[ I wish I could say he’d be freaked out by this but his only response, as he leans back in his chair, is: ]
It’s called The Endless Abyss. [ with the kind of relaxed arrogance you’d expect from someone who took over the entire world. ] Hell would have been easier.
[He tilts his head, intrigued, a light flush in his cheeks.]
We were in that realm for a while. Quite a fierce place! Filled with monsters...and yet, you survived it all, didn't you? You were fiercer and more vicious than anything that place had to offer.
I was there for five years, but I ultimately defeated the demon lord and took it for my own. Every demon there submitted fealty to me or died. I returned from the Abyss not long after.
[ it's frustrating that some random strangers apparently got to go to his home and just like, vibe there for a day apparently, but you know what. whatever. ]

[Is all the warning that Binghe will get before the man himself appears, hair pulled back in a ponytail as he gives the other a smiile upon greeting.]
Ohoho. Enjoying yourself?
no subject
well. he gives limbo a brief glance, eyes flicking up and down, before returning to what he's doing. ]
Sure. [ he's just making tea!!! ] What are you doing awake?
no subject
[And a gesture.]
May I use some of your tea for myself?
no subject
Odd for a priest. [ but — sure. he gestures to the tea! ]
There’s enough water for both of us - why don’t you join me? The cups are up there..
no subject
[And a polite nod, before going to retrieve a cup for himself to then turn around and sit next to the other man.]
So, what's got you in a good mood?
no subject
We were able to catch someone, weren’t we? Despite all of the setbacks.

[Oh, very nice. Tea while talking of the dead.]
So if people like Lucilius are gone, than people like us are in real danger, hm?
no subject

binghe tilts his head, a bit of a glint in his eyes. if he disliked the precious flower moniker, any annoyance at that is gone now. . ]
And what did I become, exactly?
no subject
[please don't make that noise, limbo,]
A descent to hell. Opening yourself open to powers beyond belief. The resentments...the desires, overflowing for revenge against your master...

[A bow of the head.]
And then I suppose you went to get your revenge? With that sword, yes? We saw it, at the end, after those challenges with the rooms...
no subject
Oh? Did I? I'm not so single minded as to run after a target at full speed.
[ sips ] You met my shizun, then. How lucky for you. And challenges... I suppose that was the Holy Mausoleum.
no subject
[A smile in return.]
I did! And what a man he is. You'll have to introduce me to him, sometime. He's here, isn't he? He left quite an impression.
no subject
[ somewhere, shen qingqiu sneezes. ]
It is an honor to this humble disciple that I can serve my shizun once more.
