Xie stumbles when they emerge, not used to that kind of travel and struggling to stay on his feet for a moment. He catches himself before he does something quite so embarrassing as actually fall, and takes a moment to regain his equilibrium.
Straightening up, he turns to look at the table, giving Quill a wary nod (he's still a little uncertain about him, he hasn't found a connection with him the way he has with Lisa, or even the weirdly comfortable antagonism he shares with Tony). He looks over at the woman when she speaks, curious and assessing. This must be the fifth, he thinks, the other person who was allowed in through the wards but who'd never visited, as far as he was aware.
Whoever she is, she's clearly important, and Xie wonders if they're about to get yelled at.
