IMMEDIATELY the nerves disappear and for once she digs her heels in, giving him a very stern look. anya never glares at anyone, but it's about as close as she gets.]
Нет. No. Never.
... I voted for me because Anya was not smart enough to vote with sureness. But I will never vote for you until I cannot believe in you anymore.
[but knowing anya that's like
fucking never]
Please do not ask me that again. Друг. You are my friend, even if I am not yours. Voting for you because I make mistake is not right.
[Wow! She can get mad! That's cool, but also Jin Ling is stubborn, so he only looks surprised for a second before he doubles down on the idiot anger. The, like, one sure thing he's use to doing out of anything.]
Don't be stupid! It won't matter! You'd at least have most of your fingers, and you'd have kept all of them if you did that! The only way anything would happen would be if more vote for me, or whoever. In that case, vote for someone else who isn't suspicious!
This isn't about being friends! It's about not being punished by this stupid game's rules!
I did not know punishment would come - but I do not regret. [even though she's holding her hand behind her - but even if she's a little embarrassed about how it looks, a little afraid for her future if she ever leaves this place, it has nothing to do with regret] I will not do it again.
But I will not vote for you. Or Toi. Иннокентий. No one innocent.
I will not make choice that might hurt them, even a little.
[what if other people have the same idea? what if a lot of people vote for who they think is the least suspicious? then if the votes are split enough, there might be a tie. it was so close this time.
and she refuses to be a coward when it comes to anyone but herself.]
None of us found who did the killing this time! You can't vote for no one if that happens!
[Girls are so FRUSTRATING and WEIRD. This is why his dad was a turbo disaster hetero. This is the exact reason because girls are Like This.]
You've already lost two fingers! What are you going to do if something like that happens this coming week? If we can't figure out who really was the one behind it?
[ - so if they have a repeat of this week, what is she going to do? that's what she's been wrestling with too. because she knows she can't vote for herself again, she's promised enough people that she wouldn't and she won't. it would be stupid to, when the punishment could be so much worse.
she bites her lip before she meets his eyes]
Then even if I am not sure, I will vote. And if I am wrong -
[if she can't save another one of her friends - she pauses, blinking a bit more quickly]
I... Искупать. I will... [she looks away, before quickly - as if frustrated with herself - catching his gaze again] Live with choice. Like others are this weekend.
[He really sounds like his Sour Grape Jiujiu, but he can't help it. Not that he thinks Anya will go off and do it--not unless she's desperate, and even then, it likely won't come to that... hopefully. Still. He's got the Jiang anger. It skipped right over his mom and slapped him in the face.]
And stop coming in here to mess around when you're missing fingers, or if get hit in the head! [He remembers last time.] You won't heal like that!
You can do that after you heal for more than a day!
[ARGH! Are girls always like this?! Very funny, though. Jin Ling is worse than this on his end.]
I didn’t say I was here to help!
[But that only means he is standing there while she does it, and then someone is going to walk in and yell at him for allowing it. Or she is going to tell someone, “Oh, I made it while Jin Ling watched!” and then they’ll yell at him.
but that said anya is just going to offer a smile even in the face of his anger, because she's officially decided she's going to ignore him when he tells her to do things that she doesn't want to do.
she'll slide him over the cutting board and the ingredients that need to be cut - green onion, komatsuna, and kamabako]
Cut please. Green onion into small size, pink into slices this big, and green leaf into medium size. [she'll use her good hand to pinch her thumb and index finger into the correct sizes for him to reference]
Спасибо. Thank you for helping. It will be more easy for Anya this way, if you are worried..
He goes at the green onion angrily at first, since he's frustrated. The cuts aren't bad really, just way overly heavy, but he wanna chop! He's really gunning for this onion's life. The mustard spinach gets the same treatment, poor thing.
But the cured surimi is different, and his annoyance by this time has finally abated into resignation. Also, if he tries to slapchop this, it won't turn out right.]
[Without looking directly at her, he looks a bit surprised for some reason. And then almost immediately, he frowns and looks back at what he's cutting a little more slowly and deliberately.]
[Bewildered, he turns his head to stare at her.] What...? ["Learn"?!]
You don't even know how to make it! [He's defensive, but it seems strangely so. About this soup.] It has to be spicy! It... It won't be the same anyway!

I am making soba for Toi.
[so she can't rest until it's done!!]
Not messing....
no subject
Hmph, whatever. You could have just asked Ayabe to make it, or help you make it.
no subject
tilts her head]
Why...
Anya can do it. Грамотное. Do not have to ask Ayabe.
[but
if he's done lecturing her, she's going to ignore him and go back to soba prep]
no subject
Do something else besides use your hands when they’re injured!
no subject
before shaking her head]
Нет. No. For rest of time, I will be missing two fingers. So I have to learn how to do things I was doing before.
[anya is pretty easily led around about 80% of the time - but she's pretty impossible once she's set on something
she gestures to ingredients]
Jin Ling can help. But Toi is more hurt than Anya, so I will cook.

What even is this thing? It smells like a fish.
no subject
Mm... Обработанный? Processed...? Fish but prepared different...
[it's hard for her to explain]
Common in Japan. Good in soups. Jin Ling should try soba when done.
no subject
I don't want any stupid soba.
[This is Wei Wuxian's shitty spicy congee in Yi City all over again. Almost.]

[she really does only grow a backbone when it comes to her friends,,
but regardless she'll just look over]
... Jin Ling's favorite is...?
no subject
...Lotus root soup.

Okay. Два. Two days. Anya will learn.
no subject

no subject
Mm... you could help, if you want to taste.
But... Подарок. Anya wants to make it a gift, so you cannot work too hard.
no subject
Why...?
no subject
Добрый. You are nice to me... even when I do many things to make you unhappy.
So I should try to make you happy instead.
no subject
[AAAA. He can’t even deny it because she will just be as stubborn as ever and refuse.]
You’re as bad as Ayabe! I don’t understand why either of you care about anyone else when no one cares about you!
no subject
that said anya looks a little surprised]
You think no one cares about me?
