By the time Xion had spoken again, Emma had made it halfway through cleaning a sleeve, but she was far from frustrated. Oh no, she was positively gleeful. It was like she was lifting away fear and anxiety with every scrub! She probably looked way too happy to be doing such manual labor, but anything that made her less anxious about dirt was something to be excited about.

At Xion's words, she blinked, stopping her tedious scrubbing. She hadn't realized that the girl was watching her at all. When she saw just how shy she looked, a mixture of pity and understanding showed on her face. Emma was reminded of herself almost, as well as so many of the socially awkward teens she helped. In that instant, Emma took a liking to Xion. She knew how hard it was to attempt crawling out of one's shell, especially in a new world.

Emma gave her a little smile. "Um, well, some people might be a little more forceful about it than I am...but, but yes. At least, this is what I remember seeing my grandmom doing."

She carefully finished up the sleeve, and after wringing it a bit, slung it over the edge of the basin, not wanting it to touch the dirty water now that it was clean. "Do you, um, would you like some help?"
