( He looks that much more grim when she says it. )
The flooding... We nearly drowned.
( Would dying in that state caused them to fully digest at once, or simply disappear? ... He shakes his head, uncertain.)
We washed away into an alcove, where we met Sir Kurapika. There, we followed the path through a labyrinth of sorts for a great many hours, before we found a viable sample. I believe we had no more than twelve hours to achieve our goal, before...
( He thumbs the frills at the hem of his sleeve. )
There were a number of... obstacles along the way, but we were able to surpass them with everyone's efforts. It was commendable.
( He perks up, taking the tea in both hands. Despite the conversation topic, his expression warms, gazing down at it as if it were gemstones, or precious gold. Miss Nala's tea........ )
... Myself, it was only to get everyone out safely. Selfishly, I hoped we could have saved Sir Giyuu and Sir Gut, as well, but... ( :( ) ... Well, I wasn't too certain what would happen, honestly. I'd been helping with the explosion efforts, but I wasn't certain it would work, or if it would happen before the water level rose higher than we could escape.
So... we are truly indebted to all of you working on the demolition. Once we'd achieved the sample, there was nothing left before us that might have gotten us outside. We could not have done it without you.
... Thank you, Miss Nala. If anything... I am relieved I was able to return Hyunjung safe to you.
( Obviously, he worries and cares for everyone else in the graveyard too, but he swore that he would, and ... Hyunjung? That's a homie. A number of losses would be hard for him to bear during their escape, but especially Hyunjung, and especially facing Nala after that. )
And I ought thank you for looking out for everyone's safety during that project. ( The construction hats, ) I would suspect they would not have without you.

[Resigned. But her gaze falls on Hyunjung]
...I'm glad he's back. I'm glad both of you are back.
