[ There's many molds of fighters out there—people built even taller and wider than he is, practically unsinkable when it comes to trading even blows. And then there's others more like Felix, slighter folk who strike with precision, speed, and a deadly, decisive lack of hesitation. It's easy to write off the latter, as their guard clearly does, ready to beat Dimitri over the head with a club but completely unprepared for Laurent's attack.
So, maybe this escape isn't totally hopeless. And it has rather suddenly become an escape on his part, too; considering that Dimitri both punched Laurent square in the face and expressed a disinterest in leaving, he stares in a beat of almost dumbfounded silence at how easily he was dismissed before answering. ]
...Dimitri. [ For a split second, it sounds as though he'd continue into a longer introduction, one practiced and made natural to him over time. Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd. But that doesn't matter here, and there's no second to waste on formalities. He plucks the club out of the knocked-out guard's hand as he leaves Laurent to deal with the door. ] I—
[ Then, a sigh. Rather than arguing, ]
If I'm to accompany you, then you can focus on finding a way out of here. [ Navigating, freeing the other prisoners, what have you. ] I'll protect you, so don't look back.
