[ alright well like two seconds before the doors close beau comes in carrying nie huaisang - probably with jin ling trailing her. beau looks absolutely furious, jaw clenched and face paler than normal.
she deposits nie huaisang down on the floor against the wall probably a little harder than she should and stands with her hands on her hips, staring down at him. go on. explain yourself. ]

[nie huaisang is. fine. he's fine.
he's got his hands pressed over his ears like he's trying to shut something out, fingers tangled into his hair, a huff of breath forced out of him as beau just drops his ass on the ground and gives him that Look. he doesn't move at all, just kind of slumps against the wall and doesn't seem to be able to pick himself back up.]
I was just trying to-- I thought it would help if... I didn't think I'd get stuck! Just say something, I can still hear it-

What did I literally just tell you?! [ beau says loudly, right under the top of her lungs. ] Didn't I just fucking tell you not to put yourself in danger? I've been looking for you for hours! I could fucking kill you myself, I can't believe -- !
It wasn't dangerous-!
[says the guy who looks too exhausted to move. yeah.]
I told you where I was going, I didn't think the room would... you don't hear anything, do you?

It could've been! It could've been really dangerous, because you've been missing! You can't go off and do this shit by yourself, I don't care if you fucking told me or not -- [ a pause, and then: ] I - what? No, I don't hear anything.
It was just- beating. The entire time, for hours, everywhere, the whole room-
[he doesn't have the energy to shake his head, just to close his eyes tightly.]
It won't stop.

[after a few moments of watching this silently:]
I don't feel like there's a good time to say this, but you guys realize that we're sitting here, right?
[he's over in the corner with 45 playing chess or something and looking incredibly awkward!!]

[the startled glance he gets makes it very clear that NO, HE DID NOT, he just got dumped in here and started getting yelled at.]
[ beau also startles, looking over at hunter and 45, and then just lets out a very frustrated sound and turns to go like, bury herself in the back of the closet. there are punching noises. she's beating up a wall. ]
I don't know-!! Maybe I've just been hearing it too long, I don't...
[he exhales a breath.]
The... room that changes. I tried to use it to get more direction on where to go.

[He glances between Beau, NHS and 45 for a few seconds before he reaches over the chess board to give her hand a small squeeze.]
Sorry. We can pick this up in a few minutes?
[For now he's, hm. Going to go check on the girl who's beating up a wall.]
Hey, Beau...

Hey, Beau...
You stupid...! Why didn't you tell anyone! If something had happen--! I should have gone with you, Sect Leader Nie!
[He's only half as mad as Beau, but instead of running off to punch the closet, he winds up and gives Huaisang a sock down in oen arm with his fist.]

We- sent a letter to the master of the house. Asked about what we should be doing. 'Look inside the heart'; it sounded... like that meant a place.
[he pauses to breathe again, like he needs to rest a moment before he continues.]
The room gives you what you need- doesn't it? So I thought it might be able to show me...

[ she pauses in punching the wall to take a deep breath. don't yell at hunter, she tells herself. she's got her back to hunter. ]
What. [ she says, pulling her hair down from her ponytail so she can run her hands through it. her head hurts. ]

...Holy shit.
[Bad? Bad.]
You're not hurt or anything, right?
[Bad? Bad.]

I didn't- ow...
[there's just a little whine in response. he doesn't even flinch away.]
I didn't think it would take so long...
[there's just a little whine in response. he doesn't even flinch away.]
I didn't think it would take so long...
...tired.
[extremely so! he was in there a longass time.]
[extremely so! he was in there a longass time.]
We... used it for what we needed, before.
[it provided things then, so he thought maybe it could provide help.]
There was just- the sound of a heart. Everywhere. The walls, the floor, above me.

I'd get you water or something, but...

You going to be okay...?
