[THEY SURE HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE - Anya's at least changed into another set of clothes though, even if they're still fancy. She's apparently huddled herself into the library, having pulled a book out to read.....
Though even as she does, she's managing
the world's heaviest sighs.
it's not an expression she wears in any place that has a lot of people though - something that she's only permitting herself when she thinks no one else is around]

[ Beau has now abandoned her jacket for just the sleeveless dress shirt and pants, by now. It looks like she probably slept in these clothes, too. And - she can hear those heavy, heavy sighs coming from the library as she passes by.
Beau pushes her hair out of her face and pokes her head around a bookshelf to try and catch sight of Anya. ]
Hey, girlie. [ She calls, lifting her eyebrows. ] You doing good over there?

[oh!!
anya will straighten up then and - it's honestly like 95% genuine how her expression brightens up when she sees beau! of course it does! anya adores beau!!!]
Да! Anya is good.
[NOT QUITE BUT,]
How are you?

Да! Anya is good.
[NOT QUITE BUT,]
How are you?
[ It makes Beau smile, anyway, a little fond thing. She scoots into the room, and heads over to just - flop down next to Anya, wherever she's sitting. ]
Fine. I'm doing good. Kicking ass and taking names, all that. [ She nudges Anya gently. ] You sure you're good? I can hear you sighing across the mansion.

[oh - she's nudged and
pauses
and brings a hand up to her mouth slowly]
Тише... I will be quieter.

[ anya pls ]
No, no - you don't have to be quiet! [ Beau protests, frowning. ] Sigh all you want. I just don't want you to be like, sad or anything.
No, no - you don't have to be quiet! [ Beau protests, frowning. ] Sigh all you want. I just don't want you to be like, sad or anything.
[well,]
Mm... Maybe I am a little bit sad... but I should not sigh so much. Очевидный... It is too easy to tell I am sad.
[she's no master of deception,]

[she's no master of deception,]
That's not always a bad thing. [ People who wear their hearts on their sleeves are kind of refreshing, sometimes. ] What are you sad about?
Well...
[she'll put her book down for now, giving beau her attention]
Гостеприимная... I would like to be a good guest - but it does not feel good to not be able to talk to my friends... or tell them where I am.

Гостеприимная... I would like to be a good guest - but it does not feel good to not be able to talk to my friends... or tell them where I am.
Yeah. I get that, I'm right there with you. I hope my friends aren't off getting themselves killed. [ It's a real concern for the Mighty Nein. ] Don't worry about being a good guest. The host kinda kidnapped us.
Mm, but... it would be trouble for Plum, Peach, and Pumpkin...
[she doesn't want to be rowdy! there is,,,,, enough destruction]
[she doesn't want to be rowdy! there is,,,,, enough destruction]
Well - yeah, I guess. You don't have to make a mess, but you also don't have to appreciate them or anything. We're stuck here. Kind of prisoners.
... that is true.
[even if it seems like she doesn't want to acknowledge it]
Сердитый? Are you mad about it?
[she can't say she'd be surprised if anyone was,]

[she can't say she'd be surprised if anyone was,]
A bit, yeah. I was in the middle of some important shit, and - I mean. [ She sighs, scrubbing at her face. ] Mostly I just wanna make sure my friends are okay. We get into a lot of trouble and they need someone who can take shots for them because they're all - long range, you know?
Someone's gotta take all the damage.
Someone's gotta take all the damage.
[ . . . . . hold on]
"Damage"...? Пострадавший? You will get hurt for them?
"Damage"...? Пострадавший? You will get hurt for them?
[ she's the tank :) ]
Yeah - yeah? Absolutely. We fight monsters. I keep the monsters busy while they shoot at 'em with spells and shit.

[her expression goes through
so many phases at this point
her hands come up to her cheeks as she tries to figure out what her emotions are doing]
Mm... Благородный? Very cool? But - scary! I do not want you to be hurt but - your friends...!
[waaaaahhhhhhh]

[ anya is so cute - beau doesn't mean to laugh but she does, nudging anya very gently. ]
It's fine. I can take a beating. And one of my friends - Jester, remember I told you about her - she's a healer. So is Caduceus. They both keep me up on my feet so I can make sure nobody gets fucked up.

[hgghhhhh
anya at least looked a little relieved.... but only a little. there's still some worry that lingers at the edges of her eyes as she looks up at beau, pouting a bit]
That is good, but...
Even for very good reason, I do not like if you are hurt. [she understands, so she won't say more than that, but the idea of beau suffering even a little bit of pain makes anya puff up unhappily] So... I hope you will get to see friends again soon.
But here... Невредимый. I hope you do not have to be hurt.

[ It's so weird to have someone immediately care about her being hurt. Beau kind of doesn't know what to do with it at first. ]
Yeah. I hope I don't gotta get hurt either, but I would if it meant making sure people get out of this okay. I don't know what we're up against, but I think it's probably not gonna be something good.
But - hey, don't worry so much! [ She says, after catching the pouty look. Beau carefully boops her nose. ] Nobody's getting hurt right now, so.

[oh - she gets booped and just giggles a little bit from it, leaning away from the gesture automatically. her expression softens a little bit at that]
Mm... that is true. I hope that will be true until we are done.
[even though anya has a sense that... may or may not be the case]
Still, we are... Повезло... Mm - it is good that you are here. I feel better knowing you.

[ Good, that's what Beau wanted to see. ]
You know - I feel better knowing you, too. [ Beau says, smiling. ] You and me, okay? We'll stick together until we can figure out how to get out of here.
So I'm curious, though - what kinda stuff do you do where you're from?

[oh boy, that's a question. anya will hum thoughtfully at that]
"Stuff"... Anya is an idol! A... исполнитель? Performer? Singing, dancing, acting, fashion model....
[she's a ~celebrity~]

[ Whoa. Fancy. ]
A performer, huh? Yeah, I could see that. Are you super famous? Sing me something. [ It's mostly friendly teasing, though she wouldn't complain if Anya actually did sing. ]

[there's just a soft little laugh at that]
Дуэт - I am in a group of two, and we two are getting more famous, but -
[she seems to remember something else and ends up cutting herself short]
... mm, if you do want me to sing for you, I can.
