[ okay, good. she calmed down. he chances a smile that he knows she can't see, while keeping his attention on the chair that's still hissing.
at her question, he looks around, trying to see if there's anything he can see through the darkness… which is an effective "nada" as he can't even see Mio in front of him. ]
Right now? We gotta look for that way out. Stay close, okay? [ he leads her by the shoulder away from the "chair" and closer to the wall as he starts to grope it for a door. ]
We're still in the box, right? So the door has to be around here somewhere.
['Stay close' he says,and Mio wonders where he thinks she could go in this small space anyhow. She stumbles a little trying to feel for the wall, but makes a noise of relief when her palms hit it.]
Feels weird... [She means literally, the walls feel a little strange, but she means it figuratively too. This whole place gives her the heebie-jeebies.] I think I found the door, but-- [There's the sound of her palms hitting against it and jiggling with the handle, then a frustrated noise from Mio.]
[ hey he just doesn't want you to trip back into the snake chair and get eaten or something. let him be your meat shield. ]
Lemme see. [ thankfully his hearing was able to pinpoint where exactly Mio was jiggling the handle, so he finds it pretty easily. he tries jiggling it himself with no luck, and then tries to feel around for something — a lock, screws that connects the mechanism to the door, a small hole, anything — that he could tinker with.
nothing. ]
Dammit--! [ now he's trying the next best course of action: repeatedly slamming into the door with his shoulder. ] C'mon! Why won't it-- open--!
Hey! [She cries out in protest when he start ramming his shoulder, suddenly envisioning him going right through the wall and dropping down however many feet they're up in the air.]
Wait, stop! What if you fall through!? [She grapple for his arm or shoulder, something, to try and stop him from killing either of them.] We're really high up, remember!?
It's better than keeping you in here with whatever that is.
[ yeah, he's obviously not concerned with himself-- he simply does not want to subject this poor girl to being stuck in here with the giant snake-chair.
which means if he's going to get them both to bail prematurely from a gazillion feet up? then so be it. ]
Besides, I jumped from higher than this. I'll be fine!
