perhaps activated charcoal?

i read about it in one of the books from the library. we use charcoal or will char plants when we need them to work a certain way sometimes in daxing, but from the books i read, "activated charcoal" can prevent an ingested poison from getting fully absorbed.

[allomantic]

Activated charcoal... I see. I will ask for it and let you know if it can't be obtained for some reason.

[countermeasures]

if it's possible, but you think of something else you'd rather have, that's also fine... i can try to get it too

[allomantic]

I already received a few things for myself, so as long as it's something the Residents can give, I would prefer to get something that might be of use to the entire group.

[countermeasures]

that's kind of you, vin
thank you

[allomantic]

It is nothing special...

[countermeasures]

[countermeasures]

[allomantic]

The cemetery

[countermeasures]

on my way

[and so she heads for the cemetery! looking around among the graves...]

Vin?

[allomantic]

[raising a hand in greeting!]

Hello.

[countermeasures]

[she raises a hand in a wave as she approaches.]

Hello to you, as well.

[allomantic]

[she's got the charcoal in her hand! it's just. in a lump, because that's how it was given to her.]

I apologize for the mess...

[countermeasures]

No, not at all...

[she digs through her bag and pulls out one of the cloth napkins from way back when to wrap it up in. ...then looks at her hand.]

...do you want to wash up?

[allomantic]

It would be a good idea.

[countermeasures]

...here. Please allow me.

[once the wrapped-up charcoal has been put away, she takes vin's hand in both of hers and focuses.




there is now some water cupped in her hand. about a cup's worth.]

[allomantic]

Oh - thank you.

[she uses it to wash off her hands, careful.]

Do you need something as well?

[countermeasures]

I think I'm alright. I used the napkin to handle it.
