[ A minute isn't nearly enough time, and when Felix lets the first one pass, Dimitri doesn't argue. It's enough to get a good handful of prisoners free—some are confused, suspicious and fearful enough that they don't move right away. One is even amused and stays in place. But the handful of others skitter past Dimitri in a rush to escape, and by the time Felix shouts at him, the other prisoners have burst past him and the stumbling guard.
He's worked through nearly every key on this ring, so he relents. He pushes the rattling ring at one of the remaining prisoners, urging them to try and free themselves while he takes care of the guards. It's only a second later where he comes by, rejoining Felix not with a greeting, but by grabbing the dazed guard's by his helmet and smacking his head against the nearest stone wall, hard enough that the metal dents even without his obnoxious strength.
And then to add insult to injury, he takes his club. So now they're both armed. It's enough to feel a little triumphant, even if they're certainly not out of dodge; their escape isn't just slipping away into the night anymore, but a ruckus of chaos and noise. Dimitri nearly grins as he runs ahead.

For him, this is sort of nostalgic. ]
You'd better hurry up, Felix!
[ wow the nerve ]
