Mm, never mind. Let's try to be careful though.
[She'll lead him on, the humidity making her shirt stick to her skin. Once they reach the entrance though she's honestly grateful for the way her lower half is more or less drenched.
She just hopes the door really will open and not be stuck by humidity or some such.]
