[. . . . well. . . . . .]

Myyyyy lower right leg did?

[cluedin]

Ah. I had seen a few stray limbs around today.

[ she says that like it's not... weird... she's still staring at his leg ]

If you wish to minimize bruising, I would advise gently rubbing a cold compress against the affected areas.

[survivaltricks]

Oh-- [he seems a bit surprised, and at that, Plum gets a smile]

Thanks. I'll try just that.

[. . .]

Sooooo what is in the lake, anyway?

[cluedin]

[ she inclines her head at the thanks in acknowledgement, but. ]

What isn't in the lake, sir.

[ she sounds so exhausted ]

[survivaltricks]

Draaaaagons?

[maybe?]

[cluedin]

[ she doesn't answer yes or no??? ]

I would advise against going for a swim in the lake from now on, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[SWEATS. . .]

. . . got it.

[a beat]

Is fishing out of the question?

[cluedin]

... Fishing.

[ akira is sending her ]

[survivaltricks]

[just wait until she hears about the leeches]

That was a half-joke.

[h-ha ha]

I'm sorry for not bringing you any tea before I summoned you, but the kitchen is a little-- [. . .] We can't make tea in there right now.

[cluedin]

[ she can't even answer the fishing thing because of what else he just said ]

... What has happened in the kitchen, sir.

[survivaltricks]

Before I answer that: can I borrow some of your cleaning supplies?

[it's okay the fishing thing is not important]

[cluedin]

[ . . . ]

Whatever mess you made, I can handle, sir.

[survivaltricks]

Nope. I'm going to handle it. It's my mess.

[. . .]

Technically it's Akechi's mess too, but it's kind of my fault that it happened, and-- anyway.

Can I just borrow your cleaning supplies?

[cluedin]

As it is the kitchen, sir, I would rather do it myself, to make sure it is done properly.

[ ... ouch... ]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . :(]

I don't want to make more work for you. . . especially when you had to deal with the mess from the weekend.

[. . .]

Can I at least help?

[cluedin]

[ she stays quiet, as if deciding ... but sighs eventually ]

If it would please you. What kind of mess is it, precisely?

[survivaltricks]

[a beat]

Dead leeches.

[SAID LIKE A CHILD KNOWING THAT HE'S ABOUT TO BE THROTTLED BY HIS MOM FOR DOING SOMETHING BAD]

[cluedin]

You brought leeches... inside the house, sir. To the kitchen.

[ HELLO? ]

[survivaltricks]

[LOOK. . .]

. . . we threw them in the sink. . .

[THE COUNTERS ARE SAFE. SO FAR]

[cluedin]

The sink where Peach washes the produce she serves everyone?

[ she hates this??? she shakes her head but apparently has decided it has already been Too Long for there to be dead leeches in that kitchen ]

Please wait in the kitchen while I go fetch the appropriate supplies, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[LOOK. . .]

I will.

[. . .]

When we're done, I'll make you some tea.

[SANITARY TEA]

[cluedin]

So long as there are no leeches involved, sir.

[ but she turns on her heels and goes!!

... akira's probably only been in the kitchen for a minute before she's back with all the appropriate cleaning supplies for this endeavor. do i know what they are? no do i look like i clean dead leeches out of my sink. either way there is a sponge and a bucket involved. and a second bucket with a bag in it. to throw the leeches away. ]

I would prefer if you would call a house staff to bring you salt next time.

[ since she can guess. why they went here. ]

[survivaltricks]

Preferably there won't be a next time.

[I'm really glad Zia doesn't clean dead leeches out of her sink frequently. real glad]

[also he has already procured some of those weird rubber kitchen gloves and is PREPARED TO ASSIST!!!]

[cluedin]

Preferably, there wouldn't have been a first, either, would there?

[ just. pointing that out. anyway she puts on her own gloves and starts by picking up the leeches to throw them away cries ]

Though I see you got lucky. These are on the smaller side for the lake.

[survivaltricks]

[totally helping her throw the dead leeches away. this is disgusting]

. . . I'll relay that to Akechi so he knows how lucky he was.
