( when he'd first hit the lock una had tried not to hope too hard, not certain whether or not she believed that he'd actually be able to break the lock. but after a few hits it does come apart and at his reaction, the door opening she smiles.
and though she steps closer she hesitates at the door before crossing the threshold. it isn't that she doesn't want to be free but stepping out... if her assumption is correct and if being in the brig had been the cause of her illness, why her immune system hadn't been able to rid her of the fever? she knows exactly what'll happen. and having someone see that... it had been hard enough admitting it to m'benga and chapel when she'd wanted to save lives.
even through all of this the fear is on herself, almost forgetting what she's seen from him. he might be able to do something she doesn't understand but it's that lack of understanding that makes her hesitant.
except... he'd come here to free her. so finally, she steps out, looking to him )
Did you bring it?
( they should get somewhere else to look at it and away from the brig but it's good to know )
