[Zelda would be so proud to know Mordred's taking a page out of her book to solve this problem. Alas, she's stuck at the top of the chute, increasingly weighing the merits of jumping down simply for the sake of regrouping. Goddesses know Mordred's not exactly the patient type, and she'd rather not be around to see the results if the Servant decides to just blast the whole temple away as a solution.]
We're all right as well! It seems as though the statue is more of a mechanism than anything truly alive or malevolent.
[The knife now rests at its side, still as the grave once again. If it does raise it again, they at least know to get well away from the thing now.]
Just stay calm! We are going to figure some way to get you out of there. ... If there is a stream, can you follow it? It must lead out of the temple somehow, right?
[Though "or something" might be a better description of the source of the running water in the room Mordred's fallen into. Small, shallow channels run along the ground, carved into the stone of the floor itself. Following them leads to the other end of the room opposite of the slide's exit, where iron bars rather than stone block Mordred's progress, though the channels continue on past it. As she moves through the room, however, she might find herself bumping into some large glass lenses dotted around and pointing in different directions, her dim red light refracting at odd angles as it passes through them. A bit of flint rests on the ground near one, along side a stick with one end wrapped in cloth that smells vaguely of oil.
Meanwhile, Minako won't find much in the way of doors or stairwells on this end of the temple, though if she squints she might be able to notice that some of the masonry on the back wall seems somehow more worn down than the rest, like the edges of the stones have been worn down by something that hasn't affected the rest of the wall...]
