[gently tags you first even though i'm trying to go mostly in order of receipt to be fair bc our tag schedules!! weeps

anyway. she's bundled up as well, in a cloak pretty much identical to the one in this icon, and she's grateful for it because wow it's cold as heck out here in winter. she's investigating the new areas, and when she spots vax, she heads over.]

...would you like some help with that?

[daggering]

[ oh! jiuqing... vax gives her a little smile in greeting, and then glances at the tombstone. ]

... Oh, you don't have to. You sure...?

[countermeasures]

I'm sure.

[she smiles back at him! the dead deserve respect, too; there's no point in just letting the graves be a mess.

anyway, provided he doesn't insist that she refrain from helping, she'll get to work.]

[daggering]

[ he will not! it's just a little surprising, but, can't complain. there are a couple of clothes and some kind of cleaner nearby - he nudges it towards jiuqing. ]

Help yourself.

[ and will get to work! though.. ] ...thanks.

Feels wrong, to leave this place in that state.

[countermeasures]

It does.

[she agrees with that, her expression a little solemn as she uses a cloth and some cleaner to deal with some grime on one of the stones.]

...we may not know who's buried here, but this is their final resting place. It ought to be a place of peace, not...

[well.

this.]

[daggering]

Not this.

[ he'll say it if jiuqing won't, it's fine. his nose wrinkles, as he looks up at some of the crumbling stones. ]

...Places of death are always sort of like this. Solemn, yeah? But they don't have to be decrepit.

[she nods]

...they're for remembering people who have left us. They shouldn't fall into disrepair.

[it seems disrespectful? ...and also deeply sad.]
