Nightshift 49: Main Hallway 2-Center

622 risked a glance over the railing as they passed the Sun Room down below. Nothing there yet. Not even something guarding the area. "Hmm." That was odd. There was always a guard stationed there. Maybe he just couldn't see it, but shouldn't people be trying to head through there by now? There would be evidence if they had.

Entering the next part of the hall, Wally paused, looking around for anything that might be out of place or a potential danger here. Getting attacked because he was blindly rushing around wouldn't do much good. Besides, the whole point of him coming up here was to try and see what he could find that might be useful, so as much as a part of him - the part that was used to speed and running and everything else - wanted to move as quickly as possible with the search, he had to remember that wasn't really a good idea anymore.

A rattling noise caught his attention, and Wally flicked the flashlight up so the beam illuminated some guy trying to wrestle a door open. Wally grinned to himself. Well, he could do with the company, right? And he'd been wanting to explore anyway. The least he could do was offer to help open the door and see if whoever the guy was wanted company as well.

"Hey," he said, wandering closer. "I was headed this way as well, trying to take a look around. You mind if I help with that?"

Hefting his flashlight in a way that would hopefully make his intentions clear, Wally waited for the other patient to move back a little before bringing the object down heavily on the door knob.

When help presented itself, Scar wasn't one to object to such convenient kindness. He had been in the progress of inwardly complaining at having to break this door open thinking of an efficient way to breaking this door open, when a man approached him out of nowhere. The former lion studied the man for a moment, concluding he was only a fellow patient. Just so happened to be heading this way was well, hmm? How very convenient...

Very well, who was he to deny a human's desire to get rid of obstacles?

"Not at all," he said - even politely - before stepping aside, allowing the other man the room he needed.

"Thanks," Wally answered, flashing a quick grin at the man before bringing the flashlight down heavily on the door knob. It took a few tries, but eventually he felt it give and stepped back to direct a powerful kick to it to open it the rest of the way.

"See? No problem," he said once that was done. Waving back at the other patient with a loose, 'this way' gesture, Wally slipped through the now open door.
