[Sounds good!!

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.

[countermeasures]

[this works for post-execution i think]

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.

[aitou]

[His brow furrows, then, though he walks with her.]

Me? Why?

[countermeasures]

Well... I wouldn't have blamed you if you'd preferred to have some time to yourself, after everything.

[she smiles faintly]

So I'm grateful to you for spending your time with me.

[aitou]

[Oh--he smiles a little, though it's fleeting, and doesn't reach his eyes.]

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?

[countermeasures]

...I'm glad to hear that.

[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.

[aitou]

[redacted..... I see]

You think so?

[countermeasures]

[she nods, fiddling with the hems of her sleeves.]
