Yasusada disappeared pretty quickly after the trial--unsurprising, most likely. But he can be found around today, looking tired, like didn't get very much sleep.
He nods to her in greeting, which is a step up from Friday, so that's... something. Maybe not good, but something.]
[unsure if i want this to be pre- or post- so tbh let's just get started and if it just doesn't fit with post-execution once we see what it is we can say it's pre-.
anyway! jiuqing nods back to him in greeting when they come across each other, but she doesn't keep walking. instead, she hands him one of the cups in her hand - it's tea.]
...Sir Yasusada. I was hoping you might be able to spare a little time to drink with me.
I should be thanking you. [the last few days cannot have been easy for him. that he's willing to spend time with anyone other than kashuu feels almost like a miracle.] Come, let's find somewhere to sit.

Yasusada looks briefly surprised--but there's no reason for him to turn her away, and he likes tea, so. He nods, accepting it with a small bow.]
Alright. Thank you.

Me? Why?

[she smiles faintly]
So I'm grateful to you for spending your time with me.

No, it's okay. Not last night, but... today it's a little easier. [To unglue himself from Kashuu's side.
Not much, though. He glances at her.]
...That was hard for you, wasn't it?
no subject
[it gets a little easier with time - though some losses are nearly impossible to accept. jiuqing knows that, and that's why she (redacted).]
It was, but... I do think it was harder on many of the others.

You think so?
