[ gu yun nods in acknowledgement, then focuses on the question itself. ] One of the Avatars? Or someone else? [ hmmmm....] There were the hats, the toys...
[ and a few other things? it was hard to recall under all of that gore. anyway. there's a pause, as he watches her react, dark eyes briefly scanning over her face, and those squeezed eyes. ]
...alright. [ just a brief acknowledgement, softened in tone. he won't ask. ] You all came back alive, if injured, and back to the rest of us.
[ and it was real, too.
... ] Thanks for the report, Harrow. I imagine there'll be more 'tests' yet to come.
The hats I'm not sure have any meaning, but the other items felt. . . meaningful. There's no other way to put it.
[She blanches a little at something else he says, but she doesn't bring up what it was. She is cleaned up now, at least, from the gore, though she's still visibly moving gingerly, and - well, she's clothed from head to foot, so if there are other injuries it's hard to see, but the fact that her outside ribs look crunched probably means something bad.
But more than that, she just has a shaky vibe. Honestly, it's more evident in her voice than anything else.]
I imagine so, too. I mean to learn from the Avatars more of what happened, so. . . I will certainly tell you what I find.
Don't strain yourself - do so after you've gotten some care for your injuries. The Avatars aren't going anywhere.
[ though... admittedly... it was good to get to learn quickly what was happening, and that was probably what he would've done in the same situation! what is self care.
the blanching doesn't go unnoticed, and neither does the shakiness of her voice. it's a soldier after a brutal battle, the sort of post-trauma he's seen a thousand times. gu yun's quiet for a moment longer, almost like he wants to approach it, and decides, ultimately, not to. if it's not particularly relevant to the matters at hand - the transportation, the monsters, the what of what happened - then, he won't pry further than necessary. ]
. . . Yes. I won't leave myself vulnerable before nightfall.
[All of these decisions must be practical. Find out what happened, for the sake of any others who wander somewhere they weren't meant to be. Heal herself, so she isn't a target at night. It's easier to think this way.
That he doesn't press her for further details does not go unnoticed.]
Not at the moment. There's so little time left, if the events of last week are to happen again.
