[The refusal manages to surprise Wash, but he doesn't say anything about it. Instead, he remains patient and falls silent, just watching Adam work. While maybe silently urging him to hurry up because he can't keep his eyes open forever, even to keep both of them safe.

As Adam finally makes his way to and out the door, Wash steps to the side to give him room, though he's still half-eyeing the statue while he watches the other man slip out. Even if he's heard this mirror trick works on these things, he's not sure how much he trusts that. They've managed to change what it is about people that they feed on or whatever while they're here, he's been told, so who's to say mirrors won't suddenly stop making them stay frozen?]

I think it is. [Still watching it, just to be safe, admittedly a bit scared to test just how stuck it is, if at all.] I heard mirrors work. Actually, I heard it's better if you get them to look at each other, but the mirrors are a good substitute.

[He watches it for another few moments before finally feeling reassured enough to glance over at Adam, eyebrows raised.]

You okay?
