[ thomas doesn't really have to tell newt that he's going to meet up with majima because if you know thomas, then you know it's a given that he'll go anywhere and do anything that could lead him to answers (or a million more questions). he doesn't have to ask newt if he's coming with, either.
when thomas steps out of his room, he finds newt already waiting outside his door, checking to make sure both of the flashlights he managed to find are still in working order, twisting the bottoms so they turn on, and then off.
along with the flashlight from newt, thomas also grabs one of the few knives that can be found in the kitchen, quickly cutting a few small, horizontal slits in the sleeve of his jumpsuit over his outer bicep, one on top of the other. he weaves the blade of the knife into the makeshift 'sheath' on his arm and keeps the flashlight in his hand. the last time he went "exploring" in an underground tunnel, it hadn't exactly been a fun time, and to purposely go into another one unarmed just seems like a bad idea.
thomas immediately steps up to help when they arrive, trying to wedge his fingers into the spaces created between the boards as majima works at prying them away. at least, this way, if one of them comes loose easier than they expect, thomas can attempt to catch it before it clatters to the ground. ]
