"It doesn't matter," I explain, "just try opening any of these doors and if none of them work, we'll try a different floor."

"Okay, but see. I don't want to get my ass handed to me from a doorway, I'm sure you understand." She sarcastically says.

She sighs and looks at the hall full of doors. She was visibly uncomfortable and upset from the situation and I understand why. This stuff is..weird as fuck.

"Take your time." I say, leaning on the wall.

"Oh screw off."

"What? I'm serious, take your time."

She rolls her eyes before putting her hand on the first door knob. She quickly wiggles the door, but it didn't move, allowing her to release a sigh.

I continue to watch the figure try to open doors. She quickened her pace after 2 more doors and I'm pretty sure, that's because she feels rushed.

"They're just doors," I state with a smirk.

"I thought you said I could take my time."

"I did and I meant it. I'm just saying though."

As she puts her hand on the next door, a click stops her from turning it. It sounded like keys and gears hitting each other to unlock something. I stand up straight in concern.

"I think that's your door," I say, "go. Open it."

She raised a brow and slowly, she opens the door. It opened with ease, surprising both of us. I walk and join beside her, looking at the room that was a makeshift of mine but red. Everything was basically cement but it had hints of red.

A small smile forms on the corner of her lips, causing me to do the same.

She steps in and looks around, gazing at the weapons. Like the other rooms, there were no paddings on the ground what so ever.

"And no one can come in this room?" She asks, back still facing me.

"I uh. I don't think so." I reluctantly put my foot in, squinting and ready for impact. I open my eyes in confusion when I didn't fly back. "Maybe not.."

I put the other foot in and stabilize myself. Remi watches in concern.

"So you out of all people can go into my room?" She questions, "the fuck."

"Heh. I must be..worthy or some shit." I joke. I continue to walk in slowly with a grin on my face, surprised. I stop and put my hands in my pockets. "I'm just going to stay here."

"Yeah okay." She goes to the weapon rack and picks up a wooden bow staff, the ends a whole shade of red. "This is Uh..new."

"All of them are different. And be careful, I'm sure it's about to melt in your hands like me and Quinton's."
