Kurin had to admit that he had gone through a bit of a leap in logic. Thinking far too hard on the problem at hand. In truth, he adored challenges. All the thoughts and methodologies that came to a head. And as it became more and more clear that nothing they could do would open the door safely, and nor did the puzzle itself seem to have a solution or even a key, he took a seat. Turning his hand into a shield of wood, he stretched it out over the group, being a little shield against debris. It wouldn't hold if the whole thing collapsed, but it was better than getting a rock to the face. With no agreed upon solution, it seemed they had to wait the puzzle out. And in the most disappointing of outcomes, it turned out that the challenge indeed presented them with a solution... [u]Do nothing[/u]. Kurin, had to admit this was the most disappointing outcome... It felt less like a test of skill, and more a test of patience. Which one could argue was an important skill too. 

Either way, as everything happened around them, Kurin couldn't help but look at the mechanism. Either way, when it came time to approach the door, he took first step. [color=39b54a]"Well Shizuka, that was fine work. Don't rub it in any faces though."[/color] Kurin laughed softly, either out of nerves or because he actually thought it was funny. [color=39b54a]"But, good work none the less."[/color] He approached the door, watching it slide open and looked to the team. As the most defensive of the group, he took the front. If things went south, he wanted to be able to react first. Helped that out of the whole group, he was the only one who had a skill set available at the moment. His telescopic lens focused ahead of the group, spying on whatever may come up. 

[color=39b54a]"Any thoughts on what may be ahead?"[/color] Kurin asked, looking to Shizuka. The boy seemed to be most on game today, even if their personalities collided a bit. In fact, the group seemed to be a mix of strong emotions, and more logical strict learning. This seemed less and less like a puzzle, and more like a simple trip down a historical avenue. Was there a lesson here? Or maybe he should stop thinking so much. They'll figure it out as it comes. They just had to get to the scroll and be done with it. [color=39b54a]"Kiku, Jaakuna, good work with the fire idea."[/color] Kurin added, feeling at least some praise was deserved no matter if it failed.
