"How long?"

She hissed as she felt the rope around her ankle loosen, sending a wave of pain through her as the numbness started to go away.

The sight on the other side of the door momentarily stuns and horrifies him. He's all too aware of the depredations of the Hotel, but rarely had he seen them result in someone in such a terrible state. His blood boils a bit at the sight. What sort of bastard...
He shakes his head. Later. He runs over to her. "Oi! You okay? Hang on, I'm going to get you out of there!" Kotetsu doesn't care if there's a key or not; being careful about it meant respecting the Hotel's property -- which he didn't -- and anyway, she obviously needed help NOW.

Her mind was quickly changed when he tore her bindings from the wall. She moaned in pain through the gag she still wore as her arms were released, and she couldn't help leaning against him as she tried to gain her balance.

"Miss Fujibayashi - I'm here to help you, just hold still for while longer, I'm getting the keys."

The man gently brushed her face before he search the wall and found a set. Carefully he started to test them, his trembling hands caused fumbling before it finally unlocked.

She leaned into his touch slightly, wiling herself to remain still as he worked the keys into the lock. She couldn't help falling against him when her hands were released, the pain in her legs unable to hold her. "Sorry."

"You're so young to endure that." He said.

Confused, she only managed a questioning sound through the gag.

Let's remove the gag first. "There. Can you speak now?"

So, one could imagine her surprise when he took off her gag and asked her to speak. But in that one simple action, he had to step closer, and although still hazy, she could see him better. Swallowing several lungfuls of air, she coughed slightly before finally speaking in a hoarse voice.

"Relax, Sheena, you're safe," Abel murmured. He knelt before her and cut the rope holding one leg before massaging the tight muscles to relax them. It was times like these that he wished he had some heeling magic.

He may not have been able to cast a curing spell on her, but his presence was helping her more than he could possibly realize.

She couldn't face him when he stood, embarrassed that she had let herself get into this predicament. She did respond to him, however, shaking her head slightly in an "I don't know" manner. She did try, holding on to the chain above her as she placed what weight she could on trembling legs.
Zora was going to be more than worried...
