[ Steve once again makes much quicker work of arranging what's needed for their exit than he could've managed, and he sends a glance the survivor's way as if to say, see? Purely for entertainment's sake since Claude imagines they could all use something more light-hearted now, but. It doesn't seem to earn him more than a look back. Fair enough.
Their way out's assembled, and all that's left is to test it. Even before Steve speaks up Claude's in the middle of taking a step forward to volunteer himself on that first climb both to test it out and demonstrate, and he nods while hopping up onto the desk as the first metaphorical hurdle there. ]
You've got it. We'll be out of here in no time at all at this rate.
[ Added more for their new friend's benefit than Steve's since Claude's guessing his teammate here knows that as well as anyone. With light steps so as to not knock any of the crates over and to prove their sturdiness, Claude walks up until the ceiling is in reach. For someone used to climbing, it's not much of a hop up to grasp where he needs to go next nor is it particularly difficult to pull himself up and out onto the roof.
It does give him a chance to pat around the roof tiles in his immediate reach to make sure they're all secure and unlikely to cause anyone to slide or loose their grip. They seem to be in good shape, and he has high hopes getting out will prove much easier than getting in to where the man was trapped. All that's left to do now is lean over to look down to where the other two are hopefully still waiting as he kneels back down, ready to grab the hand of anyone who needs added assistance on the brief climb out. ]
It shouldn't take us too long to get back across the roof. There's just a bit of climbing down involved on the other side, but nothing quite like this.
