[ time to return to the pod room - she needs the rest, judging by the looks of her, despite how little exertion she actually ended up going through. By now, she expects to see Xie Lian here, too, and isn't surprised when he's present. ]
[ They're all... tired. This was a very tiring 48 hours. No one is happy, Hua Cheng included, and he just looks stormy when she comes in. But it's not Bucky's angry outburst by a longshot. ]
Fiora, no - it's fine. [ hell of a day, huh, kids ]
[ xie lian's seated on the bed also, when fiora comes in - he's letting hua cheng tend to his ribs, sort of, by which i mean he's holding a frozen pack of vegetables against his ribcage and saying that's enough. ]
...Oh...Miss Fiora, hello. I'm sorry, I can leave.
[ at that, she immediately lifts up her hands placatingly, shaking her head. ]
No, no! You can stay! Especially in the state you're in - I'm not cruel enough to chase you out. [ she moves to sit on her own bed, collapsing with a heavy sigh. ] I just didn't want to bother you two is all. I'm exhausted.
[ There's a little bit of a sideeye - "Snow Hua Cheng only has one eye to do that with" - that's why it's a little bit of a sideeye at Xie Lian about the frozen vegetables being enough, but, it's fine. They're not talking about it right now, just doing the veggies.
He's probably vibing on the floor in front of Xie Lian so her initial reaction is? Fair? ]
Calling the past two days "exhausting" would be apt, honestly.
[ listen, fiora can read between the lines, she doesn't want to be a third wheel between them... she smiles tiredly at his agreement, then proceeds to look surprised when Xie Lian makes his comment. ]
-- You did? [ a bit sheepish: ] I just went with my gut. It seemed like everyone was upset with me...
[ snow, hunting down the beast eating his dw notifs ]
It was what you thought was right, whether everyone agreed with you or not. [ Hua Cheng... didn't, necessarily, agree. But he didn't wholly disagree, either. ] We were responsible as a whole for what happened.
