For Zoya, it was quite easy to see the complete failure of the mission. They hadn’t met the contact, they hadn’t been able to save to the contact, and they had resorted to sifting through what remained of the poor guy, the barest of bones and remnants of clothes. Not even the combined effort of slaying of the ghoul gave her any satisfaction, it’s death didn’t grant her reassurance, only a grinding twang of unease as she glowered at the messy remains. The Vila found it quite off putting to leave her eyes to linger on the corpse, choosing instead to glance at the others around her. Even looking at the paintings which she couldn’t think of in the same way anymore.
She was about to ask what was to come next, anything to fill the blank void of uncertainty when the ringing of a phone tore her attention onto Jophiel. Zoya couldn’t tell if he fumbled with phones and the like, or perhaps just wanted the rest of the motley group to overhear, but at least they weren’t going to be kept in the dark. Though the pained voice that came through didn’t grant Zoya any reassurance. No, quite the opposite.

Turns out she was a fool for thinking the group she’d been in had it bad. All she had was Harian’s voice as a warning in her head for the scene they were about to walk into which made her apprehensive to see what scene could await, but actually seeing the the bloodied and battered group? They looked worse than she’d anticipated.
“You guys look awful.” She cringed after walking in, her eyes flicking to each of team John and then shifting to compare the wounds on herself and the others in her team. Without a doubt, the baby team had gone through some shit. Though the lack of the baby concerned her too, poking at her thoughts as an annoying reminder that she thought she would be celebrating his disappearance. It was supposed to be a good riddance. Now she just felt guilty, a little sad that she convinced herself she didn’t care. At least no one had died, yet.
“I’m surprised you’ve lasted this long,” Zoya mused grimly, jaw dropping a few seconds after when she realised what that comment could be suggesting, “waiting, that is.” She quickly added on, eyes dropping to her hands where she began to idly pick at a forming scab.
She eventually turned to Jophiel after a few moments, “If you think it’s important that we talk about what happened, surely we could just try heal everyone up as best as we can and do that?” The blonde didn’t want to see everyone suffer and bleed when it could be prevented, but she also wanted to get to the bottom of both scenarios.
