[ Kija has a moment where he realises ... how much more sense Bolin's suggestion makes. He was so excited at the progress he had forgotten about the easiest option of all - brute strength.
And so, Kija employs this brute strength, moving to where the door was. ] Step aside. I will try. [ He waits for Sakura to give him some space before his large claws go latching into the edge of the door. With the strength of ten men, Kija pulls, trying to drag the door a little more to the side. When he tries, he really does give it his all, the muscles in his dragon arm tensing up, and his veins popping in his neck and upper arm (the parts that were simple human flesh).
His face scrunches up, flushing, and Kija continues to pull, feeling his muscles burn under the exertion. It isn't like him to give up, however.
Eventually, his sharp claws slip out from the gap and leave one angry scratch mark across the door (the sound of nails against concrete is painful). The door itself, however, hasn't budged at all.
Kija collapses to his knees, panting hard and holding onto the wall for support. HIS HAND IS STRONG BUT HIS BODY IS WEAK. ]
