[ Zhongli rights himself quickly but still maintains a defensive stance when the bone monster does not come barreling out of the room like he expected. Curious. He glances for a few moments at John the Emperor, and since the man seems more exasperated than concerned - well, that is his cue to drop the shield once again in an attempt to conserve elemental energy. How courteous that they were being given options, or perhaps it is more of a testament to how strong the seals hold even when the facility is under attack. ]
