Trel 's brow furrowed with concentration and worked at the lock. This didn't seem like it was going to be one of those times when success came quickly. He wiggled his lock picks, feeling one catch slightly and nearly whooping in excitement. He was getting close. If he could just get the right position he would have the door open in no time.
He gave a startled jump, knocking his knuckled against the door handle and dropping his tools to the floor with a clang. "Shiit!" He raised his smarting knuckle to his mouth as he stood, half expecting an angry healer to be glaring at him. An empty stretch of hall met his gaze, but he knew a floor board hadn't just creaked on it's own. Putting two and two together he decided he wasn't the only one sneaking about the place. If it was a healer they would have just bustled right over, not stayed hidden.
"Who's there? You'd better show yourself. I am armed!" He called out, trying to sound stern. He wasn't actually armed, unless his own two arms counted. Remembering his dropped locked picks he bent down and snatched them up. Not good things to have lying around. The interruption was ill timed. He'd been so close to getting that door open.
