He did. He was... very kind to other people, but he was not very kind to himself.

So... I hope others treated him kindly in return, and that he was able to learn to see himself the way we do.

[she nods. her vibes are Bad, but:]

I think - I hope he was the kind of person anyone would have trouble being cruel to. But I know that was not always his experience, where he came from. [...] This place itself is cruel, but I have to believe that the people here have been kinder to him than what he's known.

[she reaches for vin's hand to give it a gentle squeeze]

I know he's been experiencing more kindness than he knew before. He had you at his side, after all.

[allomantic]

...He should have had more.

[in the end, despite the reasoning she had, despite the fact that there wasn't any option that would have saved him - it doesn't change that she put a dagger in his chest.]

[yeah, no. vin is getting a hug.]

[allomantic]

[her eyes are getting a little wet again, but she's trying very hard to keep both the tears and the bad vibes at bay. it is not quite working.]

[vin :c

jiuqing's heart breaks for her when she feels her trying to stifle the bad vibes. there's a protectiveness in her own feelings, and sympathy, and love - the type you'd feel for family. a good family, that is.

(i feel the need to specify because there is like only one member of her birth family that doesn't suck.)]

[allomantic]

[she doesn't let go, but - those feelings are mirrored in her own, too.]

[i guess they will just hug it out]
