Daqiang reached down and grabbed Rem's elbow once again, this time to lift her to her feet. It wasn't exactly gentle, but it wasn't meant to hurt her.
When she was standing properly and clear of the chest, he bent at the waist to open it. He wasn't about to kneel or put his own knees into that filth. The chest opened easily enough. But despite how heavy it apparently was, there wasn't much inside. A deadly looking sword, an ornate metal scroll case (that probably had a scroll inside), a bundle of folded cloth, and something that looked like charred and twisted wood. The cloth was of silk, both heavy and light, in a mix of dark teal, golden browns, and intricate embroidery.
Daqiang shut the chest and set everything on top of it to keep it clean. He took the strange curl of blackened wood and set it carefully on the back of his head. When he shook his hair out, the spikes and knots created a crowning halo of shadow effect.
He then proceeded to pull the ragged shirt off and was clearly in the process of going for the pants when he remembered she was there, "Turn around. This venerable one must dress."
