[After all of That, Rin is left feeling emotionally drained and in dire need of something to keep his mind occupied. Which is why he's at the sculpture garden, looking at the giant hole in the ground. 'Fix your fuckups' is what his father always told him, and this is a fuckup that is definitely his fault.
First Rin scoops up a handful of snow and squishes it into a ball before tossing it in. The snowball breaks upon impact with the frozen layer of ice at the bottom. Then Rin picks up a bunch of snow in both of his hands and flings it towards the hole, with most of the snow lazily drifting down. This is when he sighs pensively.]
Well. I guess this'll keep me busy until tomorrow at least.
[But then he looks up to find Xie lian, and he stops there. Hi buddy.]
[ god, what a mood. xie lian is pacing through the ice garden today - he walks through with a steadiness to his steps, san lang in his arms in rabbit form, but his expression is a little hard to read. san lang's ears perk, though, when he hears the snow, and then rin, and xie lian turns. ]
...oh. Hello, Rin. Do you need help...?
[ he has a smile for rin, but it's tired, and doesn't quite reach his eyes. what a day. ]
[He sees that tired smile. He knows how bad of a day it's been. If Xie Lian just wants to pass through the gardens, Rin won't stop him to ask for favors. That said, Rin does seem open to having company, and probably would like it more than he's admitting to.]
Watch out for Rinkou, she's making a mess over there.
['over there' being about 3 feet away, where Rinkou is burrowing her face into the snow like a fox looking for a meal.]
[ ... honestly, the hard work seems like a nice distraction. he nods, and makes his way over, kneeling in the snow as he starts to pile some of it up outside of the hole. there is a method to this madness, apparently, but he doesn't share what it is, yet. ]
I don't mind at all.
[ san lang hops free of xie lian's arms when he kneels, and hops over to rinkou - then, shifts forms into his giant qilin shape instead, padding over to start digging next to rinkou. ]
and oh - hearing that gets a genuine smile. xie lian nods, emphatically, as he builds up his snow pile. ]
Most certainly. Well done, Rin. [ PROUD OF YOU!! ] Property - things like this can always be rebuilt, can't they? Foundations will fall, but we can simply build anew upon them.
[Praise aaaaa he's soaking it up like a sponge. Look at how happy and upbeat he is now.]
Right! Even if you mess up and do some property damage, you can come back and apologize and fix it up later. As long as you try to fix it, it'll be alright.
[People aren't as simple as property. People sometimes take longer to heal. But luckily nobody got hurt here, expect that mime but Rin didn't hurt the mime so it's fine maybe.]

Was this you? The hole.

Rin does see what Xie Lian is doing, so he'll start to do it too. He's curious! And he wants to mimic Xie Lian's methods.]
Yeah, I lost control for a moment and melted a bunch of snow. But 'he' didn't get control of me so that's a win, right?
