Sheena had given up on her plan of waiting on her feet for someone to come in pretty quickly - at the least, the door was far enough away that she'd have time to react, and it doesn't seem like Sylvarant has much interest in its prisoners at the moment - instead settling back down towards the front of the cell. Kratos is nonresponsive, despite either of their best efforts; she leaves Anna to it, for the most part, tunes out of what she's saying because it feels uncomfortably private to be listening in even if Anna's just trying to vent her anxiety. She jolts to her feet the second she hears noise outside, the second Anna calls Malos's name hesitantly, pressed up close to the bars to get a better view.
The four other members of their party approach, and Sheena's face lights up, opening her mouth to call out, and--
A door comes down, splitting Malos and Lloyd off from the Aegises. Okay. That's bad, but - there are five of them here, now, and the others are just on the other side of the door. There's no way one door can keep them separated for long, Sheena reassures herself to push down the fear and restless frustration that's gathering in her heart. Instead, she pulls that grin back onto her face, calls out "I knew you guys had it handled" to Lloyd before shutting up so he can focus on picking the lock. She sucks in a sympathetic breath when Lloyd's wings come out, but, alright, that makes sense. They don't have the time for lockpicking.
She gives him a quick nod as she gets out of the way, letting him do his thing. They'll definitely have everyone in this base in here after that level of noise, so they'll need to be fast, but that's fine. It's going to be fine. "Thanks," she tells him, grateful, as she makes her way out of the cell to join him and Malos. "You guys probably know more than we do, though. We've been--"
That's as far as she gets before the emotional bleed crashes down on her, and it'd been heavy before but it's crushing now with something every word she has is too weak for. Sheena gasps, doubles over as she fights it unsuccessfully for even a shred of space to breathe.
