[Rinkou rumbles a bit but doesn't otherwise react negatively to San Lang's presence.

Rin similarly falls into a more concerned look when he hears the word 'survivors'.]

That...they must have seen some shit down there. What happened? And what're we gonna do with them?

[yueshen]

[ san lang hops a little closer.

and then puts a single bunny paw on the wolverine paw. :( paw.

but, yeah. xie lian looks away, for a moment, his expression unreadable. ]

...they have. And... we took them to the citizens on the outskirts of town. They seemed amenable to helping them settle in.

[aono]

Oh...well that's good. We'll be leaving this world soon, so it's for the best that they stay here.

[Still, Rin seems a little sad to say that.

Since Nameless Child isn't here, Xie Lian will get just one bowl of rice held out towards him.]

Here, eat up.

[yueshen]

[ he gets it, but. xie lian nods, a little sad, too.

however, before he can think too much on it, the rice is a surprising offer - xie lian looks up at rin, a little surprised. ]

...Really? [ touched... ] You didn't have to do that, Rin.

[aono]

I didn't have to, but I wanted to.

[It's the thought that counts, right?]

It's kinda plain since that's better when you're healing, so I hope that's okay.

[yueshen]

[ his smile is gentle, and very genuine. ]

..Mm. Thank you. [ weh. ] Plain is better, anyhow - I confess, I don't have much of an appetite, after all of that.

[ but, xie lian will pick at the rice anyway, obediently. a good boy. ]

[aono]

I don't think anyone would. But you gotta eat something, or else you'll feel even worse.

[Which is why Xie Lian gets plain rice. Good job eating it too!

Since there's no child to eat the second bowl, Rin will start nibbling on it instead. Now they both can eat!]

Did they tell you that there's others missing too?

[yueshen]

[ xie lian's brow furrows, and he nods. ]

...yes. Miss Susato informed me of those missing - and that you all thought for a little while that we were dead, as well.

[aono]

Yeah. Though this is the second time a group of four has turned up alive, so that might be a pattern.
