Pausing for a moment, genuinely thinking on her question before his shoulders shrugged.
❛ No harder than any other I guess. Just long and exhausting. ❜
Letting out a laugh, dropping the rag into the bucket. Face clean once again.

Putting the bucket of water in front of him this woman only think briefly the blurry figure that was soaked in red. . .
‘ I really don’t mind it , nier . . But was the job difficult today. .. ?’

Taking the rag, and using it to wipe the worst from his face. Staining the fabric red, letting out a sigh of relief. Using his jacket to dry the skin.
❛ Mhm. I did, thank you. ❜
ㅤ
With a hand dropping the bucket letting her pick up the rag inside wringing the water out . . This very woman only gave it to him. .
‘ yea . . You sounded like you needed it nier. .’
ㅤ
Glancing with a smile, even as the red stained his hair. Eyes flicking from her to the water bucket with a quiet laugh.
❛ One step ahead of me huh? ❜

Returning from the daily culling, coated in blood and new scars. Exhaling sharply, time to gather what little water he can from the well to at least wash off the remains of the Shades.
