North wasn't on his game, from what Wash could tell. Not good, especially when dealing with an unknown situation. He kept his comments to himself and an eye on his fellow Freelancer - at least he could back North up. He glanced around the foyer, taking in everything he could in a quick sweep - the statues, the staircases, the pottery, the plates - before nodding. "Might as well," he commented, heading for the doors on the lower level. "I'll take point." Easier that way, given that North was out of it and he didn't know how well Nepeta could fight, if at all.

He paused for another moment, waiting for them to catch up with him, before opening the door, gun trained on the room the second the door was wide enough to pass through.
