[ Yuri can finally do her god forsaken laundry. There sure are some blood-stained clothes, but it's on black clothing, so it might be easy to miss it. Either way, she's there, tossing clothes into the washing machine and then sitting down on a bench with a pot full of soil on her lap.
Then she sees Nodd, and gives him a little wave. ]

[ stops talking. tilts head. thinking deeply for an instant. choosing his words with great intention. ]

Yes, I know. That's why I told Shouxue it was fine... it's not as if you did that to bully me.
[ She remembers his profile, unfortunately. ]
... I'm not saying to do it again, but if you learned something from it, then that's all I need.
no subject
I've never learned a gods-damned thing.

Yuri merely looks down at her pot with soil before raising her head up again. ]

If you bite on this root, you'll be calm for a while. It's bitter, but it looks like you're struggling about something, so maybe this should help...

bite this? the pink root? ]

[ Yuri looks back down at the pot she still has on her lap. ]
You can sit next to me if you'd like. Standing while waiting for the machines to finish will make your feet sore.

the pleasantly forced calm down help nodd think through his response. ]
I'm very busy today. Lots on the ol' agenda.
[ ... willing to abandon his clothing to preserve what's left of this cr. ]

[ ... ]
... I'll keep watch if that helps any.

You--you are... I am... yes. Okay. I am fantastic at expressing gratitude. Really natural about it.
[ smile. pleading in his eyes. ]

[ She says simply, genuine. ]
I'll be here, so go on.
