[Axel nods. That was especially true when the portal was a Dark Corridor, but he wasn't going to tell Cindy that, at least til they were safely through. No sense in scaring her.
Axel takes the offered hand and together, they step through the portal. Doing so involves a sensation rather like passing through a thick curtain, if the curtain were made of somewhat unpleasantly clingy smoke and static electricity. Once through the initial portal, Cindy would have a brief impression of a place that was all swirling, chaotic colors, with no obvious boundaries, no sky or ground, though there was definitely something solid under her feet. Before she has much chance to focus on it, though, they're passing through the opposite end of the Dark Corridor, through that static and clingy smoke feeling again, and stepping out into the Hub's atrium.
Axel releases Cindy's hand and gestures toward the Dark Corridor, which closes behind them.]
And here we are, safe and sound. This is the Atrium. Habitation wing is down this way.
