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.

[cluedin]

[ it is! especially since i'm pretty sure dead leeches with salt start to break down like fuckin slugs do. haha, fun. she pauses, though ]

... Akechi?

[survivaltricks]

Hm? Yeah. It was his arm that was covered in leeches.

[why???]

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

A moment, sir.

[ she just?? leaves????? and comes back about a minute later ]

I see. You were both in the basement together, then?

[ ...what was that about ]

[survivaltricks]

. . . [?]

Y-- yeah? Why?

[cluedin]

It simply seems an odd place to ... "hang out", sir.

[ they are still cleaning in the bg of this im not describing it ]

[survivaltricks]

We weren't "hanging out," we were having a civil conversation.

[it was not civil]

[also thanks I don't want to describe it either]

But why did you suddenly leave?

[cluedin]

An odd place for a conversation.

[ ... ]

I needed to check something, sir.

[ like who the fuck akechi was ]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . wait]

His portrait?

[didn't she do that with Haruka during the trial]

[cluedin]

[ .......... ]

Please scrub harder, sir.

[ does she not want to admit it ]

[survivaltricks]

[welp]

[he will SCRUB HARDER but he looks like he's on the verge of laughter]

[cluedin]

[ don't laugh too hard akira there's a 90% chance she doesn't remember your name either even though you told her about five minutes ago ]

You did not answer as to why you were having a conversation in the basement, sir.

[survivaltricks]

[HE EVEN MADE HER TEA??? PLZ!!!]

Oh. That.

He was mad at me for making puns during the trial and decided to express that with a gun.

[he says that so casually]

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

I see. Is that a normal reaction from him, sir?
