Lea nodded. It was fair, and he wouldn't force the guy unless he had to. He tried to keep his pace to something that Essek wouldn't have too much trouble keeping up with even in his current state, while keeping an eye out around them. There might not be many people left in the area, but there may be some escaped animals or those constantly shape-shifting monsters. Or even those weird lights that had taken to hunting people since the incident that had landed Essek in his current predicament.

All in all, though, their trek went relatively smoothly, until they rounded a certain corner. Lea had crossed a nearby bridge in order to get into the area and knew of no other way to get back to the relative safety of the city center. But what had been a solid bridge a few hours previous was now flickering in and out of existence, and would obviously be gone before too long. "Crap... this isn't good," he said. "We need to get across here if we're going to get where we're going."

He looked around for alternative routes, but the drop below the bridge was too high and sheer to make jumping or climbing down and back up the other side even a remote possibility, even for someone in good shape. "And can't use a dark corridor," he said, thinking out loud. "Even if I was willing to try it without protection, you're in no shape for it even with a black coat. But I don't see any..." Then a thought occurred to him. "Wait..."

He summoned he Keyblade, then waved Essek back slightly. "Keyblades are supposed to be able to lock or unlock basically anything, even things you wouldn't think of. Maybe it can lock the illusion of the bridge in place long enough for us to cross." But it wasn't something he'd ever tried before so... best to have Essek standing back a bit. Just in case.
