[ooc: oh my god, I am so sorry for leaving that unfinished sentence just hanging out there D: ]
Cecil's more or less stuck in a permanent flinch to begin with; this isn't much different, except for the actual present danger overhead. He flinches harder at the burst of sparks, though, tugging free of Albert in his hurry to get away. (Some help he is.)
He scans the corridor behind them for some sign of another way out - up would be preferable, he thinks, judging by the water just beginning to lap at the tops of his shoes. There's a door in the wall some yards away, though whether it's to another corridor or just another room he can't say-- but, well, there are no sparks coming from it, so maybe it's preferable to where they are now.
He strikes the wall next to him once, just loud enough to get Albert's attention, and looks over his shoulder in the direction of the door. Albert said we - Cecil's involved in this now, whether he likes it or not.
