[hellooooo, percy!
i should have asked where percy will be but i didn't and now i'm here so you know what i'm just going for it. you can say where this is. wherever he happens to be going, she'll be there already, practicing with her newfound powers since she doesn't know shit about magic.
there's a flash of an almost crystalline shade over her palm, and then a moment later she brings it up to look at it. she's got a small amount of ginger root there, and she looks pleased with herself - upon hearing footsteps, she looks up with a smile.]
Oh, hello.

Oh, hello.
[ assuming emet the selch has allowed jiuqing in already here.
percy is returning from a visit elsewhere, stepping into the door way and already shucking his coat as he steps in. which is when he sees jiuqing with whatever book (or books) she has begun to pour over in their study. he offers her a smile. ]
Well this is a pleasant surprise. Good to see you, Dr. Su.

[imagine if i just started every pc with jiuqing on percy's couch and no explanation of how she got there
i was just joking but actually that's funny so here she is in his apartment again, reading another book.]
Oh, welcome back.
[she says, as if she belongs here. she does not live in this apartment? hello?]

[jiuqing is, once again, sitting on percy's couch reading a medical book because someone else let her in.
but this time, she looks a little frustrated. she seems to be rereading the same lines over and over again - she doesn't flip the page, and her gaze doesn't seem to be going all the way down the page, either. just a bit down, and then up, and then down again...
finally, she makes a noise of frustration.]
Why doesn't any of this make sense to me? I know I know how to do these things...

[jiuqing is... wandering around after bandaging up her hand! i don't actually know why she wandered to the art room, but that's where percy is, so that's where she is now.
when she spots him drawing, she tilts her head to one side.]
...Percy? What are you drawing?

[it's touch week, and jiuqing hates it!
she's not strictly opposed to physical contact - sometimes it's nice, to know that someone else is there - but while she likes the majority of people here well enough, she's not really comfortable enough with them to be okay with the level of casual touch that's going on here.
so! she's in search of a quiet place to hide out for a while. the office looks promising, and she gives a cautious, cursory glance around as she steps through the archway.
little does she know percy had the same idea...]

[ the medbay is precisely where percy knows he will find jiuqing, he moves quietly, the only sound of his arrival being the door opening and heralding his steps. he moves towards her and stops short, like he has to stop himself from careening ahead. ]
Dr. Su...
[ his voice is soft: ]
How are you holding up?

[when jiuqing finds percy in the library among the books, she doesn't even ask first.
she just picks her way through the piles and sits down next to him, shoulder to shoulder. she doesn't reach for his hand just yet - the closeness is fine for now - but she's. you know. here.]

[honestly
if teej had told me to pc at emet's apartment i was going to start this off with her just being on the crystalline apartment's couch again but. he did not.
so instead, jiuqing finds herself outside the apartment's door. she holds up a hand to knock on the door, pauses, and then goes for her phone instead, sending a text -]
by any chance, are you at your apartment right now?

[ they're reading side by side today in the library! the sun is shining, the 3d printer is making my little ponies on skateboards without fail, and percy is just turning one page and then the next, content with his study buddy.
until they are vored by a bubble with a rather soft "pop!" as it closes in around them.
he adjusts his glasses quickly, brow furrowed, and reaches to gently tap jiuqing's book to get her attention ] Oh dear...

[jiuqing bolts from trial pretty much immediately.
...and comes to see percy pretty quickly, too. i imagine vax will get here first, but she's not too far behind after him if he does. what does his jail realm look like, i don't know.
her expression is anguished when she enters through the archway.]
Percy...

Percy...
[today has been so much.
waves hands in time. they probably headed to the medical bay at about the same time once everyone could move, but there wasn't much time to talk - there are three of them that will be needing them and only two pods, so like, (waves hands in timelines) - but she definitely expresses that she's so, so, so glad he's alive before they sort that out.
once they're both not in any imminent danger of dying, jiuqing looks to him as she finishes wrapping real gauze and bandages around her neck. it's easy enough to manage on her own.]
...Percy.
[you're here.]

[ it's probably theeeee afternoon when there is a knock outside metallic and something left at the door. the sound of footsteps walking away and the general wave of both anxiety and delight sort of flutter around the vicinity even when percy is gone, an after image.
on the ground, wrapped in simple linen is... a hairpin. it is not sharp, but it's long and thin enough to carefully wind through long hair. at the decorative end, there are a few, carefully shaped in metal, flowers in the shape of forget-me-nots.
at the center of the largest one is a small amber stone that provides small waves of calmness (but does not produce warmth). ]

[here they are at the dojo/target range! has jiuqing come here to make sure no one is being too mean to anyone else while they spar? yeah... maybe.
what's percy up to.]
what's percy up to.]
good morning, percy! i was wondering if you and sir vax'ildan might join me for breakfast? i'll be inviting miss rose as well
[after breakfast, jiuqing asks percy to hang back. vax is probably waiting outside i don't know his life.
anyway, once they're alone, she hugs him tightly.]

[that was a lot
later on in the evening, jiuqing can be found in the gardens by the meeting hall, contemplating some of the flowers there since their greenhouse has been wrecked. she's deep in thought, and though there's a sense of muted calm in her emotions - that's probably because of the hairpin - she also feels pretty sad, too, as she stares at one of the flowers.]

[percy better be in the medbay or so help me god
anyway, jiuqing is looking for him after the trial, where is he]

[ percy is. overwhelmed by the purikura archway, okay. he's just standing here like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh??? he is wearing just a simple fit and just testing out his newly-grown leg as he picks up one of the wigs from the display in the room and kind of chuckles a little bit.
it's not the worst addition.
it's not a fucking volcano, for one. ]
