[whew! it's time for a break now that they've gotten quite a bit of work done on the cleanup. jiuqing wipes her brow and smiles at meteion.]
We all worked hard today, don't you think?

[she accepts the cup of tea with a soft "thank you" and takes a sip.]
Yes. It's important to make sure we don't exhaust ourselves... if there's more we need to do tomorrow, we won't be in the right shape to do it if we push ourselves too much now.

[ the tea might be a bit sweet because of Meteion's mood, but at least not too sweet! ]
Back home Hermes told me that it's good to set a good pace for yourself. [ she sways her legs a little as she sits. ] Do you think... everything we're doing, is helping this place?

[jiuqing likes sweets so that is a-ok]
I think so, yes. Cleaning up might seem simple at a glance, but it can really make a big difference.

...well, of course I'd like to go home, but... I like to think I can adapt well enough to any situation.
[ here is one curious bird peeking at the newly Hot Springs from the front, she looks.. puzzled. When someone else comes along she perks curiously and-- ]
Oh! Hello Su Jiuqing! [ she's sheepish now ] I've never seen a Hot Springs before so... I came to look.

Hello, Miss Meteion.
[she is here for a nice relaxing soak.]
...if you've never been to one before, you really should try it out. They're quite relaxing.

...stubborn, more than anything. But thank you for saying so, Miss Meteion.
Just Meteion? Alright.
[i really need to start keeping a list of who has told her to drop the honorifics
anyway]
You'll want to rinse off, first. That's right over here. [she'll lead her over to where the little shower thingie is.] You do the actual washing up here, and then once you're clean, the springs are just for soaking.

[honestly i REALLY should]
Bathing once, and then soaking after.
[she peers into the cabinet.]
...although, I'm unfamiliar with these.
[they don't have swimsuits for hot springs where she's from? you just. you just go in.]

I don't, no... but if this is how it's done here, it can't hurt to wear them.
[she'll take a green set. it matches her eyes.]</small.

They're not uncommon. I don't get to use them as often as I'd like, though.
[she smiles. this is a real treat!]
[she smiles. this is a real treat!]
I'm alright.
[meteion!! jiuqing smiles faintly and holds up her hand. it's bandaged.]
See? All taken care of. In a few days, it'll be good as new.

[ gingerly touches the bottom of that hand, peering at it as if to doublecheck. ]
I hope so... [ she grows a little quiet, looking down before glancing back up. ] It's.. going to happen again, next week too.. isn't it? What happened to Kazuma.. and Ryunosuke.
[ she droops a little. ] Riff told me that... the Prism responds to everyone.. here. That it tries its best.. to give us what it thinks we want and need. What if... it took the "murder mystery" party... too seriously?

Yes, that's right.
[anyway! they get washed up and changed and whatnot, i'm not rping that part. time to head into the springs itself.]
The water's going to be pretty hot. Are you okay with hot temperatures?

...
[she reaches over to ruffle meteion's hair with her unbandaged hand.]
...maybe it won't. If it's really trying to give us what we want and need... I think it's fairly clear from our reactions that no one wants or needs this.
[she doesn't actually believe it's not going to happen again - that would maybe be foolishly optimistic - but she doesn't want to be like "yeah it sucks and there's nothing we can do about it" to meteion either. so!]
