[There is indeed a river!
Yona is used to doing most water-related things (drinking, laundry, bathing...) in rivers, so since she hasn't yet learned about the existence of running water, that's where she goes. When Kasumi comes across her, she's crouched a little precariously at the water's edge, both her hands submerged.
Look it's a start for treating her burns, okay...]

Oh...!
[Yona, your burns... She actually wanted to check the invisible barrier, but now that she's spotted her — well. It's only polite to check up on her, especially since she seemed to be in a bad shape when she last saw her.]
Hello! [Don't mind her as she casually slides up to her, leaning down slightly in order to get a better look at what she's doing.] Um... Yona-san, was it? I hope you don't mind me asking, but... what are you doing?
[Girl, what if someone peed in the river.]

I'm washing my hands.
[???
What else would she be doing?]

In the river? But that's... [UNSANITARY???] We don't know what's been in the water. You could get an infection!
...I could?
[???]
But everyone washes things in rivers. People even do laundry in them, you know.

Please, excuse me if this is a strange question. But, do you happen to know what a washing machine is, Yona-san?

W... Would you like me to teach you?

I wouldn't mind at all!
[It will also give her peace of mind, but that's a bonus.]
How about we get you dried up, and I'll show you how it works?

All right.
[Yona gets to her feet, then! And tries to dry her hands off on her cloak.]

[oh my god]
Ah, you shouldn't—
[TOO LATE.]
... Never mind.

[A SLOW SHAKE OF HER HEAD...........]
Don't worry about it. Shall we get going?

[Huh. Weird. But Yona nods.]
Sure, of course. Where to?
Sure, of course. Where to?
[Hi, Yona. Wherever she is, Sumire will eventually go looking for her with tea and food. To-go containers are convenient like that. Once she finds her, she will tentatively begin with:]
Yona-san... I brought food if you're able to stomach anything right now.

[They're in the dining hall - Yona's just sitting at one of the tables with a glass of water and a book. The book's been open to the same page for ... uh, a while.
It's fine. She looks up when Sumire approaches.]
...thank you... I probably should eat something, you're right.

The inn. I did say I would show you how to use the laundry machine, yes?
Is that where they're kept?
[she doesn't know shit about laundry my dude.]
[she doesn't know shit about laundry my dude.]
[She sets the containers down in front of her, taking a seat at the same table. If Yona opens them, she will see it's green tea and a sandwich that has been cut in half, crusts removed. Please eat.]
How are you feeling?
How are you feeling?
[francy never clarified about the one (1) washing machine and one (1) dryer so it's fine. no one knows shit about laundry.]
Yes. There are only two machines, though, so we'll have to wait if someone else is using them.

[As much as I want to make a "wtf is a sandwich" joke I'm reasonably certain she's already been fed one in this game. Alas. But she manages a small, grateful smile as she opens the containers up, and takes a sip of the tea.]
...frustrated, mostly. I wish that could have gone differently.

Well, hopefully they won't be.
[yona does not point out that if they were using the river no one would have to wait, but she's thinking it.]

... I understand.
[Though, Yona definitely has it worse than anything Sumire could be experiencing herself.]
I can't stop wondering if there was anything we could have done to prevent this. Anything at all.

...I'm not sure. Virid didn't seem like the type of person to do something without a good reason, so...
[Whatever constituted a "good reason" to him... would any of them have been able to turn him from his path, once he found it?]
