@shi12 @TheWindel @KoL @Siaya DragalornConna'Cel looked toward where Faira was gesturing, his scanners confirming that water was indeed flowing out of the room through the small opening behind the bookcase. "
Understood," Conna'Cel agreed. Grabbing a corner with both hands and planting his feet on the wall, Conna'Cel began to help Faira pull away the bookcase. Once the opening was revealed, Conna'Cel tried to look down it to scan for any sort of hazards or hostiles, but the new air current made things somewhat difficult. He was quick to readjust his position on the wall, gaining a better grip and increasing power on his wings to prevent himself from getting pulled in. Secured, he attempted to resume his scanning.
Shawn could turn the handle on the door easily enough, but whether from the water pressure or some other unknown force, he could not get the door open no matter how hard he pulled. After a few seconds of grunting and multiple pulls, he gave up the attempt, realizing that it was getting nowhere. Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Shawn turned to see Lusso apologizing for the earlier incident with the bird.
"
Ehh, it wasn't that big a deal. Don't worry about it," Shawn said, smiling back and dismissively waving his hand. Then his stomach began to growl again, quite loudly as a matter of fact. "
Ok, maybe it was a big deal, but it's still fine!" Shawn added, flashing a thumbs up.
It was then that he noticed that the water level began to drop. Looking around, he saw the water being drained away through an opening in the wall, revealed by the pulled-away bookcase. "
When did that get there?" Shawn asked. "
Ah, whatever, let's get going!" Rushing as fast as he could through the water, Shawn wasted no time jumping straight through the opening without fear. He was hoping that something edible would be at the end of wherever the new path would lead. There had to be
something there, after all.
