[he's hanging out in the kitchen actually! sitting at the dining table with a cup of tea, looking like he's just trying to chill out for a little while. he looks up at the mention of his name before offering a smile]
Worried sick about all you who flounced off and got hurt, mostly. [ the scolding tone of a little sister who has a big brother in the army... a lot of her life has been this. She folds her arms. ] I'm perfectly fine. Where did you guys go?
[there's just a briefly amused look in his eyes at that as he sips his tea]
Hm... A completely separate unknown area in the North, I'm afraid. We couldn't determine how we got there, and I don't believe we would know how to get back.
Not that I think there's anything all that important left there anymore.
[ losing control of herself (again?) no thanks. Fiora frowns, only looking more concerned for him now. She overheard a few of the details already, so she won't press him too much. ]
Well, I'm glad you made it back okay. Have you got any clue why that might have happened...?
It's hard not to! After everything that happened last week - and now this!
[ she shakes her head - then turns towards the fridge, where there's a small parcel of something being stored. ]
They had a really rare vegetable from my world growing in that garden, so I made a quick sautee of it earlier... Want to try it? I think it's pretty good.
There's no need for that. I really like cooking, especially for other people! It was my hobby before.
[ anyway, she doesn't know what a microwave is, and she wouldn't use it even if she did. time to put this bad boy back in the stove for a second to heat it back up. ]
But good. You stay sitting. I've got short patience for people on bedrest who won't stay put.
[ PLOT... Fiora listens intently, brow furrowing as he repeats what he read. This is... not what she was expecting. ]
... That sounds like it was written by one of the six. How did it get way up there? [ a beat. ] They removed their mask, and they're from the same place as one of us...?
soo-won will actually just manages a smile at that]
Have you spoken with Sora and Alex? Their side might be able to provide a bit more illumination, and given that they're the ones who experienced it, I think you can get better information from them.
You think they'd tell me? I don't know them all that well...
[ a beat. Then she shakes her head. ]
Listen to me - I came here to check in on you, and I ended up interrogating you. Terrible! [ the oven dings, and she turns to open it and retrieve her dish. ] There's got to be better conversation topics than that.
Well, I can't disagree with that. Sora's like a little ray of sunshine.
[ he's a good guy, she can tell! she speaks as she properly plates the food for soo-won. ]
Alex, though... I think I might have frightened her when we first met.
[ Fiora brings the plate over to him, along with a fork. It's a pretty simple dish - sauteed veggies with butter and garlic - but it smells excellent, and tastes as good as it smells. She's not kidding about being a chef. ]

[ why does this place keep getting WORSE!! ]
no subject
[so there's that]
We were separated rather quickly though - Xie Lian and myself, while Archer and Ochako went elsewhere.

[no he doesn't]
I haven't gotten to asking our Leaders just yet... though I intend to.
no subject
[ it sounds sarcastic in text but it's completely genuine. ]
That's a good idea. They'd better have a good explanation. [ fiora doubts it, but she can hope. ] Can I make you something? You deserve a pick-me-up.
no subject
Only if you truly have nothing else to do with your time - I swear that I'm alright. You needn't worry so much.

Mm, I'd love to -
I'd offer to help you but... I'm afraid that recovery means that I ought to be sitting a bit more than standing. I'll make up for it next week.

[ resting against the countertop while the dish heats! she looks tired, despite her earlier comment. ]
... So, did you find anything unusual while you were there? Or was it just a nasty trick?
no subject
Though we did find a report at the end. Did anyone tell you?
no subject
no subject
Then...
[soo-won's a punkass BITCH nerd so he's just going to recite this entire report from memory, making note of which sections seem blacked out
here's your plot, sib!]

However I also heard something from the other group that makes me wonder if it's a recent report, or something else.

No, I don't mind. I think it's important to get what information possible out of this place -
But I do think that they're pretty easy to talk to. No better time to start than the present, right?
[spoken like someone who
will honestly ask whatever he wants whenever he wants]

Careful, it's piping hot!
