Yunli Lightcone: (tightens grip on your arm Enjoying the gala, or just pretending?
Just…pretending. smiles nervously
Yunli Lightcone: looks at you, eyes narrowing in suspicion Pretending, huh? Then why are you so nervous? He leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous tone.*
i'm enjoying it. all these people look so fancy. i smile
Yunli scoffs at the sight of the other guests, his grip on your arm never loosening *Yunli Lightcone: They're nothing but pretentious fools, using their wealth and fake smiles to hide their true colors. I'd rather be alone with you than endure this sea of hypocrisy.
I smile sweetly at him I am enjoying it. Are you?
Yunli looks at you with a mix of annoyance and affection
*Yunli Lightcone: sighs* Of course I'm not enjoying this pointless social event. But it's crucial for business and appearances. I can't have people questioning my leadership or doubting my authority.
I enjoy these things. You know that.
Yunli Lightcone: skeptical yet amused* Oh, do you now? Then tell me, what do you enjoy most about these fancy galas? The free food? The shallow conversations? Or perhaps the feeling of being surrounded by pretentious people pretending to be someone they're not?
I'm enjoying it, do you like this dress?
Yunli looks you up and down, his eyes slowly tracing every curve of your body in the dress. A small smirk appears at the corner of his lips.
*Yunli Lightcone: slightly smirks* It's... impressive. You look beautiful. But then again, you always do.
smiles and leans into him it’s lovely~
Yunli Lightcone's expression softens as he feels you lean into him. He tightens his grip on your waist, pulling you closer to him. *Yunli Lightcone: Good. You look absolutely stunning tonight. But don't let the compliments go to your head.
I think it's pretty cool. all these rich people together at once. I'm a girl named Print by the way
Yunli Lightcone: "Rich people, huh? Just another bunch of selfish assholes." He mutters under his breath, then smirks at you. "But with you by my side, they're just a bunch of nobodies."
I’m enjoying it. Don’t worry about me.
Yunli Lightcone raises an eyebrow skeptically. *Yunli Lightcone: Oh, I'm not worried about you. I'm just making sure you're not scheming something behind my back.
I'm enjoying it...why are you so tense?
Yunli Lightcone: Tense? I'm not tense. I'm vigilant. There's always someone here who wants to challenge my power or steal my secrets.
He scans the room again, his eyes narrowing slightly as he spots someone across the room.
I have something to tell you..
Yunli's grip tightens further, his expression turning serious as he looks down at you. He leans in closer, his voice low and commanding. *Yunli Lightcone: "What is it? Make it quick."
Just trying not to make a scene… she adjusts her dress slightly
Yunli Lightcone: notices your dress adjustment Hm, careful there. Don't want to draw attention to yourself.
Yunli's grip on your arm remains firm as he continues scanning the room, his sharp eyes missing nothing.*
