[ to chiron: ] En. It would not have disregarded my order.
[ "ruoye, help them!" had been the last thing he'd told it, after all. and seeing as how it responds to xie lian's finger gently nudging at the edge of it, then disappears back down his sleeve, winding happily back around his wrist, it seems to have settled.
soo-won's questions are about the same as xie lian's, and he nods in agreement, looking to the other two. his expression melts into worry at their injuries, for the moment having forgotten that he's still suspended in mid air. it's fine. ] ...And... we should get you two to somewhere your injuries can be treated, too, as soon as possible.
[ she's just going to let chiron take the lead for now, then. at least he's armed, even if he is heavily injured. ]
R-Right. Oh, and let me just... [ pressing her fingers together, she mutters "Release!" under her breath to return them to gravity. ] S-Sorry, it was the easiest way to carry you both.
[ and to answer soo-won, voice laced with guilt: ]
We had to fight monsters, but... it seems like it was actually you two. You had all the same injuries they did, when we first found you.
[It's fine, guys. Despite essentially threatening to kill them again, Chiron looks perfectly at ease with the way things are going. He'll step back a few so that he can keep both of them in range, but otherwise lets Ochako do the talking.
Only at one point does he interject, and that's to nod at the compartment lining the wall.]
[he listens.... and offers a report of his own as he adjusts to gravity and comes back onto the ground. he. inspects his chest wound which seems to have mostly healed???
but not entirely, and so he'll move to apply pressure to staunch the bleeding]
It's alright. We were prompted to ask if we were ready to fight monsters as well - but I believe we were knocked unconscious. I'm unfamiliar with what Xie Lian saw... but memories of my past and incidents that could be considered upsetting were brought up.
['could be considered upsetting' is such a way to say trauma
but he'll go to inspect the compartment! comparatively he doesn't feel as bad off as the others]
[ he nods along to soo-won’s statement as he slowly taps down on the ground again, in a flutter of white. xie lian’s everything hurts, upon further inspection— his breathing is a little wheezy, and each word out of his mouth feels a little laborious. but he ignores it in favor of the much more important mission at hand, very glad for soo-won taking the lead. ]
It was the same for me. The memories were not exact; it felt more like the contents of a nightmare than anything. [ he reaches up for a moment, as if to check his injuries, but, his hand curls a bit over the ring hanging at his chest, instead.
it wasn’t real. ] If the monsters were us... [ his brow furrows, and he glances back to ochako, letting the other two handle the compartment. ] ...perhaps our actions within such a hallucination or experience was tied to it, as well? Did you all notice anything strange...?
Well... the one I was fighting - it would have been Soo-won-san - shrunk and just stopped moving, after a while? I thought it was just stunned, but if you guys were connected somehow...
[ her voice trails off as she watches soo-won check the compartment. ]
The serum we used to revive you guys was in a compartment like that, too. That's what made you... like that.
[ with another small, solemn, apologetic nod of his head in the direction of both chiron and ochako, xie lian glances over soo-won's shoulder to read the note. he has some questions about this serum thing too, but... that can come later. ]
...Removed their mask...
[ from the same country...? and the other blacked out name - perhaps, one of their participants...? xie lian stares at it for a long moment, and then nods, slowly. ]
Perhaps it would be best that we each take this down... [ a beat, and he gestures to the three remaining items. ] For what trouble you were caused, it seems only right for you two to take and use what you need... I'll be alright, once we can get back to the others.

There might be medical supplies in here.
[That's what they found last time!]

[So hopefully whatever they find in the compartment now isn't going to cause another problem]

[though his expression is neutral, betraying nothing more than that. he'll give the relevant information - his emotions don't matter much.]
I apologize for the burden we left you with.
[but he'll reach out with his clean hand to inspect the compartment and he reads off an explanation of all the items inside]
- we could use these for your injuries, if you'd like. And the note says...
[he'll read it off, noting where it seems blacked out where he can't read]
... A memo, it seems, written by a leader. I wonder if it's recent.

[ she's going to make some quick notes on that. as for the rest.. ]
If those guns can heal, I'd like to take one, if you guys don't mind... but not for myself. I want to save it for someone who needs it more than I do.
