[Okay but seriously, Rin's not going to be the one cooking today. He hasn't actually slept in over 72 hours (minus a few short bursts of rest here and there) so he will either be passed out somewhere or sitting there groggily trying to process everything that's happened.
He's here though, for anyone who wants to talk to him.]

[ It's fine, Kotetsu and Nanaly can make sure the house is fed. Rin, included. But for now, he's bringing him some tea as an offering and sitting down beside him. He offers the drink quietly. ]
Here.
Here.
[even when Allen isn't immediately near him, Rowan sure is--or at least as close as the bond to Allen allows, so there's that.]
[ Nanaly's back to her usual coping mechanism of cooking for everyone tonight -- which is for the best since no one could expect Rin to feel up to it after what he just went through. She's noticeably shaken up by what happened, probably more than anyone has seen her before, but none of this is about her, so she's keeping it to herself.
She'll be making another big pot of soup for everyone, and will be standing by to serve it when it's done.
Later on, she'll probably disappear back into the kitchen to clean and straighten up and keep herself occupied. ]

[ Nanaly will bring a bowl of soup over whenever he's up, and sit down next to him. ]
Here you go. Should be easy on your stomach if you're not really feeling up to eating.

[It's odd, but he doesn't fight it? He's moreso confused by it. But since A-Qing is blind he's also wondering if it's a blind person thing.
Watch out for the horn nubbins on his forehead though. They're rounded, but they can still hurt if you bang a finger against them.]

[ Whatever he needs. Whatever... helps. Even if it's just to numb the pain. But he reaches over and places a hand on Rin's head softly. Sometimes words don't work and all he can offer are gestures. ]
Just tell us whatever you need. We'll do what we can for you.

[ He'll be in the kitchen to help her with this. Both of them could use a distraction after everything. ]
What can I do to make myself useful?
[ Quietly approaching where she's working. ]

[Allen will be near Rin a lot of the time, but occasionally, he'll leave Rowan to stay near him and take care of a few things around the house. he's still in that calm state, not smiling for once, but tiredly making sure people are comfortable for lack of knowing what else to do.]
You're welcome. If you think it could use more of a certain spice or anything just let me know. I don't mind constructive criticism.
[ Radheya lies down in dhole form on the other side of her, resting his muzzle on her knee. ]

Ah, can you get the bowls down from the shelf up there?
[ pointing to the shelf in question ]
It wasn't much of a problem the other day when I was taller, but now that I'm back to normal I'm a little wary of stretching that much.

[ If there's anyone who would understand the grief, Alphinaud might be the closest one could get; even then, it's... difficult to imagine how it must feel. Truth be told, he hopes he never has to know.
Nevertheless, wherever Rin might be sitting now, Alphinaud only hopes he isn't overstepping his boundaries by taking a seat beside him. ]
We are here for you, however you may need it.

[ After... everything... he's going to approach Allen to check on him. It feels like a lot of people are at a loss for words, but he still wants to see how he is. ]
It gets harder as we go, doesn't it?
It gets harder as we go, doesn't it?
[a wane smile comes onto his face reflexively at that.]
Mm, much harder. But that's to be expected, as we all get to know each other a bit more.

You're right... It's what helps us keep together and keeps us going, but with those losses...

Yeah, I don't mind getting the high stuff. Wouldn't want you to injure yourself again.

[Rin nods, making Kotetsu's hand bob a little. He's grateful to have so many people here who care. This would be so, so much harder to do if he had to do it on his own.]
Suriel said we can still rescue everyone. They said they would come to find me, when it was time.
So...I guess we'll do the same for Yukio.
[And the others too, but mostly Yukio is on his mind right now.]

[It does a little! They're more like bony growths under his skin, because there's definitely skin covering them entirely. He wrinkles his forehead at the touch.]
Those are horns, I think. But they're really small.
[He's narrating for A-Qing since blind.]
