"Open the doors," Mathew ordered in a calm, composed voice.
In the short time since he woke up, he managed to regain the clarity of his mind and the greater part of the strength of his body. And yet, he continued to rely on both Nadia's and Norbert's support to move.
As such, only Leila was left to actually open the doors, as Mathew doing it himself would break all the immersion of his small ploy.
Leila moved up and grabbed the handle of the doors. She then moved it around a bit only to turn her head and point a wide, enthusiastic smile at Mathew.
"It's locked," she informed.
"I never thought that would be a problem for you," Mathew replied, replicating the same kind of slightly crazed smile that others could see on Leila's face.
"Good point." Leila smiled. She then turned face-first towards the doors. She initially raised her right leg to kick it open… Only to put her leg back, heave a deep sigh, and lazily swing her saber.
