[ gwen saves him from answering wei wuxian — and who knows what he would've said, what he might have accidentally revealed next? or, just as likely, sniped back. running out of air really bringing out the best in rand al'thor.
more to the point, gwen saves them. the combination of the loud crashing and the rush of air is overwhelming by itself; rand gasps, losing his hold on the weave keeping oxygen close as saidin leaves him. he's near to passing out, himself, as the webbing pulls him as wei wuxian into the hall. the lights seem over-bright after the darkness of the room. he squints even as he takes gasping breaths, coughing as he rolls onto his side. he hasn't taken note of their savior yet, half-blind and taking in air like a drowning man. he does reach out sideways, though, making sure wei wuxian is nearby and also safe. ]
