[i]That[/i], by far and out, was the last place he wanted to be; he had escaped for a reason, and he wasn't about to give it up yet. His adventure had barely even begun, and there were so many other nice people that he had met, it'd be an utter waste to rescind his freedom now. With his free, unchained hand, he grabbed the chain, and felt the heat almost immediately. [colour=MediumOrchid]"Goa..."[/colour] he whispered to himself, keeping his voice low on the off chance Crunch or Mono overheard him. Heat enveloped the metal, stemming from his palm, which in the following seconds was covered with the shimmering of the air. In the half a minute that passed, he cautiously looked around, keeping his eyes on everyone the passed by, placing his body in the way to mask his escape plan, and observantly eyeing the door to the office, on the off chance the two superiors exited untimely. Try as he might, however, nothing came about. Wisp raised his hand, half in frustration and half in disappointment, though he wasn't entirely surprised; such weak power output was hardly going to make a dent in tempered steel certified for use by the military. He had held back to keep the effects of his magic from being noticeable, but the result was equally as reserved. With some more fevered glances, he took his gaze to his surroundings, and anything that could assist. Whereupon he saw Chieko exiting the office building, and running up to Aki. And he had an idea. [colour=MediumOrchid]"Pssst! Aki, over here!"[/colour] he called out, as quietly as possible while still attracting her attention, [colour=MediumOrchid]"I need help! Mono's gonna take me somewhere else, and I don't wanna go, but you have wind magic! You can cut the chains!"[/colour] it was a desperate attempt, but they were friends - it was the best shot he had without blowing the chains up. [center][@liferusher][@Rune_Alchemist][/center]
