We've seen Kadira examining locks and such before. Having spent a good number of years on the other side of things, she knows how to pick and/or break. Mercy's skills in that area aren't quite as good (she can pick a lock, sure, but not as well or as quickly as Kadira), but she can supplement her investigation magically.

I don't think this is the first time you have educated me in some way. I really appreciate that! :)
