ADAM
Frowning at the insinuation that he was not trying hard already, Adam resisted the urge to say something snippy to Rexanna. Instead he focused on the door, kneeling down in front of it and taking in the lock. He'd been in worse situations than this and gotten out by virtue of wits and charm, certainly he could manage a simple old lock.
It had been a while since he'd used these particular skills, but as he unwrapped his lock picking kit he could feel it all coming back to him. He was Adam Fucking Pickley after all, leader of the Devil's Advocates (rest in peace or whatever Ascendeds do when they die, Lucas), bonded to a dragon (who he really should have brought), survivor of the fae pit, and thief extraordinaire. And yeah, maybe he was a little unnerved by the weird ghost child currently having a conversation with Rexanna, but who wouldn't be? Once he got the door open and could get the fuck out of here she was welcome to befriend all the monsters she wanted.
The door clicked open, and Adam let out an excited "Woot!" Rising quickly to his feet he turned back to Rexanna, his expression faltering a little as he noticed how close the monster kid now stood. "Well, hate to steal and run but I've got the door open so I think it's time for us to get out of your hair." Smiling weakly at his own joke, Adam quickly walked out the door and into the long, long corridor, not really waiting to see if Rexanna had followed.
