so, yelena is wandering around the castle, taking time to poke her head into every door she's able to. when she finds the servants' laundry room, she'll do the same. ]
[ here is xie lian! he is standing in front of the little laundry area looking
hopelessly confused as he's holding the top of his white robes, still bloodied from the execution. at the voice, he jumps, surprised, and then turns to look over his shoulder. ]
Oh - hello, Miss Yelena. [ sweats ] Am I in your way?
[ he nods!!! if nothing, xie lian is a very good student, so. he carefully lays his bloody clothes down, and follows after yelena like a baby duckling. ]
If there is anything at all that I can do, I'll do it. I'd like to learn, so...I will do my best to be a good student.
[ sometimes you are just so wildly out of your depth doing basic things, but. he is very sincere. ] Do you often have to get blood out of ... ah. That isn't a very good question...[ sweats ]
[ he doesn't! at all. but he nods along anyway, watching curiously as yelena hops to it. ]
I suppose the same has happened to me, but Mu Qing always was the one who did the wash. He's always been so handy with those sorts of tasks... but, I will surely bring home any tricks to him!
[ and maybe he might actually be happy about it!!!! his tsundere ] I always thought you simply just... washed it, and stains and such would just... come out.
yelena is walking with natalia, who is in dog form. she doesn't seem to be paying too much attention to where she's going, and natalia barks when she sees xie lian.
[ xie lian is meditating! he's sitting cross legged on the edge of the stage, straight backed and strong, his daemon still a qilin at his back. at the bark, he opens an eye, and offers yelena a small, tired smile and a bow of his head, a proper greeting as ever. ]
[ he smiles at natalia, gentle. she's so cute... san lang lifts his head and huffs in her direction, hopping down from the stage to greet natalia. hello. ]
Mm. Especially after something like that, I think. [ ... ] You did so much today, to help - and really, you have done much to help even beyond today. Thank you very much, Miss Yelena.
...Kind. Nervous, even. He is a soldier - that much you can tell, in his movements, and the way he carries himself. He cares very much for his friends.

I do get injured a lot, yes. And sometimes you have to learn how to deal with these things without bleach.
[ does he know what bleach is. oh well. ]

No, unless it's like... something relatively minor. But heavier things need some type of extra help, especially if the clothing is light in color.
[ getting stains out of white things rip ]
no subject
I see... [ ... ] Mu Qing really was quite good at this. I bleed quite a bit... I guess I never realized how difficult it could be.

Hello, Miss Yelena. Out for a walk...?

Nothing I did couldn't have been done by someone else.

[ he tilts his head? genuine!!! san lang will also sniff. he is very large. ] Even if that is the case, you were the one who did the actions.
no subject
yelena glances at them again. ]
You did a good job too, then.
no subject
That is kind of you to say. Even so... it does not feel that way - there is little to celebrate, in the capture of Bertolt. Only more questions.
