I'm sure we can figure it out. The actual shovel part is still functioning so...
Hup. Best do it while it's light out.
[ Manual labour... not his style, but he can't leave a girl with ONE ARM and terrible RNG luck struggling. It's hard but he can maybe get a decent hole going? At least the dirt isn't too packed. ]

she examines the hole, shuffling a little bit nervously.]
Yeah... Um, maybe. Do you think it's deep enough that it won't attract the rats? If they think there's food inside...

That's fine. I do want a wash.

no subject
Right. I'll be careful, since it's not like I can pour salt on them.
no subject
But we'd probably rather use them on our meager food offerings, so you'd have to share.
...
Alright then, I'll go. I expect I'll end up seeing you again before long anyway, this place... let's have another talk at another time, Miss Mitaka.

[the leeches deserve to get salted but their tastebuds don't deserve to suffer like this.
anyway, she just. nods and awkwardly shuffles in place, waiting for him to go. i am so sorry for the world's shortest thread.]
