Zaer frowned, and moved away from the grill of his door, wondering what she was trying. Soon after, he threw his arm up, his forearm shielding his eyes from the bright flashes coming from their cell. After they flashes died down, he peered back over to see that her magic hadn't had any effect. "If you were just wanting to test the grills, I could've told you that this wouldn't work." Still, he stepped aside again. When he heard her spell hit his own grill, he began to grin. "Now we're talking!" After she finished, he looked at the smoking remains of the mesh. It would be weakened considerably now. Giving the woman a slight nod, he cracked his knuckles, pulled a fist back, and slammed it into the mesh. It fell off and hit the floor with a loud clang. His hand was cut up a bit, but otherwise undamaged.<br/><br/>When he heard her plan though, he frowned. "Sorry... but I can only heat the metals through direct contact with them. I'm going to have to undo my own lock first."<br/><br/>Reaching through the space, he felt around for a bit, until he felt the cold metal of the outer handle. Grinning, he took a deep breath, and let the heat flow through his system. As he breathed out, steam exhaled from his nostrils, and he could feel the metal heating underneath his touch, turning red. "C'mon, c'mon..." He squeezed his hand, causing the handle to dig into his palm. Slowly but surely, he could feel the metal melting. Finally, looked down and saw his fingers sticking through the lock, sticking through to his side of the door. Pulling his arm back through, he slammed his hand against the lock, and the door opened.<br/><br/>Taking a step out, he looked around. Still no sign of the guards. After stepping out of his room, he looked at the two elves in the cell across from him. Now that he was out, he didn't really need them, he supposed. Zaer could just run right now. But if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have been able to open his own cell. He owed them that much, at least. "Back up a bit." After they moved from the door, he put both hands on their lock. Since he was using both, it went much quicker, and was able to break the weakened lock easily, before swinging the door open for them.
