[there's no telling what's going to happen tomorrow. jiuqing can't imagine anyone is going to take what's happened to ryunosuke lying down - they're going to want to look into what happened. there's only so much they've been able to find today, but tomorrow is another day.
so it's better to be prepared.
jiuqing smiles, and it's a small, tired one that doesn't quite reach her eyes, but she is grateful for the offer. in daxing, she might have insisted on handling this sort of thing herself - but in daxing, she had her knowledge of her past life to guide her.
here, she doesn't have any such thing, and she's too smart to think she can do it all alone. so.]
Hey, if it's something I can do, then I should do it, right?
[a little wink for jiuqing, for once without a come-on intended behind it. this is a bigger revelation than usual, considering how Itsuki likes to hang in the background and let other people do the heavy lifting.
...it seems wrong to do that now.]
Anyway, want me to make you something to eat? It looks like you'll be here for a while.
[her smile warms a little at that. if it's something i can do, i should do it... hopefully he actually means that! if there are enough of them that think that way, they'll be mostly okay.
but only mostly, because a man is still dead.
at his question, she almost looks like she might decline, or tell him not to go to any trouble. she doesn't have much of an appetite, but she knows she needs to eat something eventually, so she will - but before she can say so...
her stomach growls.
even without an appetite you can still be hungry. considering that her stomach has spoken for her, she gives a small huff that's almost a chuckle.]
...if you wouldn't mind it. Something light would be nice.
...You know, usually I'd be all for an opportunity to share food with a cute girl... [his smile's fond instead of suggestive, at least.] But this is for you. You need your strength.

...thank you, Itsuki. I'd appreciate your help.

Okay. One meal coming up...
[something light, something light... hm, but something filling too.. he'll summon a pork bun for her... bao except it's not alive...]
Here you go.
no subject
Thank you.
[she brings it up to her mouth, but pauses before actually biting into it.]
...are you hungry too? We could share.

The verdant color is pretty handy, huh? I wouldn't mind getting to keep it.
no subject
It is. I'd have liked to be able to use it, myself, but... Crystalline has been working well enough as a substitute.
