[ what a horrible situation for someone who cares so much. ]
It is still terrible it was something you were forced to endure, but if you could use the setting to your advantage while trapped, I'm relieved. I know you did as much as you could in that situation.
[ she gives him a small smile. she absolutely hates everything she heard, but it's not like she can do anything about it. she can realize that much. ]
I'm relieved you're here and without much injury. I don't know what I'd do if you weren't smart enough to solve your mystery.
[ he matches the smile back, though - thankful, warm and tired. ]
I think you've got the best of it. What matters is we all made it back alive and relatively, for the most part, unscathed.
[ and stayed alive. unlike lowe who i have to fight.
but it makes him happy to hear that, too - lu bixing has grown so fond of four, already, so he touches his heart with one hand, just a little bit dramatic, a little playfully. ] If there's one thing I'm decent at, it's solving mysteries. Especially ones with bad science! And with people like you relying on me, I'll make even more sure to stay okay.
