James heard the new arrival, and pulled away from the door. "And who is this?"

She looks up. "Oh, hello there."

I bet we could get her.

"You're the one I've been speaking to, yes?" asked Adamina, stepping forward slightly with grace. Decorum was a must in front of others. She made sure to stay a safe distance away, though. This one wasn't necessarily trustworthy.

"Yes," James replied, "I am the someone in the room. Trapped, actually. In here, it seems."

"What seems to be the issue?" As her mother's heir, she was accustomed to trying to solve others' problems.

James thought it was fairly obvious, but, she also couldn't see on his side.

"There's no doorknob. I can't open the door."

Was it really a good thing to help him? She sighed to herself. Mother always said they must help others--unless those others were the Ragnars.

"I believe I could help," she said. She turned to Auryon. "Excuse me, please." She waited for her to move away from the door.

Auryon steps aside.

Go for it.

No.

Sar-

Shut UP!

Adamina stood in front of the door, ever conscious of Auryon standing nearby, but she focused on the man and told him, "Stand back." Then, subtly making sure her pin was securely tucked in her sleeve, she reached out and touched the mark on the door.

He heard a click as the door unlocked, and slowly opened inward, towards him. He stepped back as the door opened itself, and stared out into the hall at the two.

He gave them a small bow of his head, with his expression neutral.

"Thank you, miss..." he paused, not knowing her name.

"Mina. And you are?"

Spoiler! :
BTW the "Mina" part of her name is pronounced "mee-naa"

"Thank you, Mina," he repeats, before gesturing to himself. "I'm Peter. How did you open the door?"

"I touched it, and it opened for me." She wasn't sure she wanted to say too much yet.
