[Altius keeps at his scrubbing, but slows as he looks at her for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face. He sure as hell is not going to suggest Koharu has to start learning the language of violence.]

There's no shame in that, my dear. We have our own way of helping, don't we?

[cupidsammo]

[ The words are meant to be encouraging, she knows, but if Koharu were to be perfectly honest... she feels utterly useless in this scenario. What could someone like her really do? ]

Um—well, probably. But for now, I think I'll just stay out of the way.

[chimericalclaw]

[He lets out a soft chuckle that's almost exasperated. Too vague?]

... it was a rhetorical question. What do you think we're doing right now?

[cupidsammo]

—Oh.

[ ... Well. Point taken. ]

This mess was mainly my fault to begin with... But thank you for helping me! Are the stains coming out? I didn't even think they would be able to.

[chimericalclaw]

Of course.

[He is in fact happy to help, even down to his hateful, utilitarian core. Looking at this mess is just unpleasant and demoralizing for everyone.

And he is finding some success with the scrubbing; he's still got several more minutes to put in for this spot before he moves to the wall, but it's definitely progress.]

Luckily it just takes a bit of know-how and effort. There are all sorts of ways to clean things. Have you finished with the glass?

[cupidsammo]

—Oh, yes! I have it all in a pile right here.

[ Which she does! It's decently sizeable, given how much got shattered that night. ]

At least, it should be most of it. Just, ah... don't walk barefoot around here.

[ The tiniest of shards have a way of hiding until the worst possible moment, after all. ]

[chimericalclaw]

Good. Hopefully there's no one foolish enough to go without shoes on a city street.

[Not impossible, but what are they going to do, set up a barrier? He'll clean things up, certainly, but preventing every possible problem afterwards isn't in his list of priorities.]

Perhaps you could help me finish scrubbing this area, then we might find a bag for the glass?

[It shouldn't take long for them to sort all this out at this rate, but it wouldn't matter much to him if it did take a while. Though he's certainly gotten busier than he was, he still has more time on his hands than he knows what to do with.]
