Bastien clapped loudly for Rexanna 's magic, always impressed by the spectacle of it. What he would have given to have such power back in Venice, to have been able to enchant the crowds with actualenchantments.
Jigano read aloud the inscription as Bastien saw it. The obvious thought was for the statues behind them, and he was glad to hear Jigano come to the same conclusion. "I do not often touch a lady so intimately after only a few moments...but needs must." He joked as he moved to grab a statue opposite from Jigano. As they both put their hands on them, they would find the statues turned, grinding stone moving surprisingly smoothly.
It was not long between the four of them before all statues were turned (Bastien turned the one without a head as well just in case) and he turned to look expectantly at the door, which did....nothing. It didn't open or glow or do anything appropriately rewarding of their effort. Bastien tilted his head at it to think for a moment.
"Once all eyes are pointed away, the door shall open"...Oh. Jigano had mentioned their own eyes.
"Turn around, friends. Let us not look at the door either." As soon as all three of them had turned, Bastien heard the sliding of stone behind him and felt a cold draft - the door had opened. "Be careful, but I believe we must walk backwards." He took confident steps backwards, having learnt the act of walking any way he pleased years ago on a tightrope. However, his confidence would quickly prove a curse as his feet didn't meet the floor once they had passed the threshold of the door.
Bastien fell. Caught by surprise, he let out a rather undignified yell as he plummeted backwards a long way then had all of the air knocked from his lungs with a loud splash as he landed in a deep pool of water.
