[hi. daan will spot asa clumsily maneuvering a very old, decrepit shovel around in the cemetery, a couple feet away from the actual graves as to not disturb someone's final resting place. her wooden box sits on one of the gravestones while she uses one of her feet to push the the tip of the shovel into the ground...
and then the shovel promptly snaps in half the moment she tries to lift it.
ah.]

No, but uh... I have some strips of cloth. If the break isn't too bad, maybe you could treat it like a broken arm and splint it to keep using it...
...Or use it as a cover to protect yourself from the splintered end, if half of it is still long enough to use.
Were you looking for something around here?

[there's a split second where her eyes quickly dart to the wooden box sitting on the gravestone and then back, before she shakes her head.]
Uh, no. [will she elaborate? also no.] It's only the shaft that broke, so maybe we can tie it together like you said. Let me just...
[she crouches down to pull the half of the shovel that's still sticking out of the dirt — except the shovel head immediately comes loose and now she's just. holding the stick.
gazes.]
Are you kidding me right now?

[ ARE YOU MISSING AN ARM!! ASA!!! ]
...Not for me, personally. Just wanted to check in on everyone, I guess? Since we're all here together...
...
Maybe you should take a bit of a break. Sit somewhere where there's a bit more sunlight peeking through the fog.
[ Have a sit and photosynthesise. ]

she looks like she is deeply considering telling him to buzz off. but then she looks down at the broken shovel and her already pretty beat up hand, and she sighs in defeat.]
I need to dig a hole. About... [she lifts her arm.] This length. And deep enough that a wild animal won't dig it back up later.

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. ]
Good size?

[sometimes... you ask for a shovel and the only one in the setting is super rotten. rip in fucking pieces.
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...

[ Flicking dirt off his hands... ]
As long as the dirt is packed firmly enough on top that the scent of anything like food doesn't seep past, it should be fine.
...
If you have those flower crowns still, they smell pretty strong. Strong odors can help keep them away too.

I'm sure a salt covering would work in a way too, if you could find that much.
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.

I'm not going to waste whatever little spices we can find on leeches...
[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.]
Right. Um, I'll see you later.
[and then they were roommates.]
