Although she could have moved the mummy herself with ease, Amitiel didn't see the need to point such a thing out to the Doctor. Frankly, if he wanted to move the thing and have her on door duty, she didn't mind. Exerting too much of her energy too quickly, while cut off from her version of Heaven, made replenishing said energy a tricky endeavor. Wrestling with the mummy had been the most use of her power that she'd tried in Papillon thus far and she was loathe to use any more of it than she had to just in case it was ever needed for something truly important.
Besides. It was reassuring to know that the Doctor hadn't immediately assumed she would do the manual labor just because she could. Most people wouldn't have reacted in such a way and she was grateful he was the exception rather than the rule. Again, that was something she really should have known from the start but part of doing her best not to meddle in his affairs also meant not looking too closely at him lest she find herself unable to ignore the urge to get involved and do what she was created to do.
So she simply moved to the door, wincing slightly when he sneezed and subsequently dropped the mummy. When the creature didn't stir, though, she relaxed again and promptly closed the door to the supply closet the moment the Doctor had gotten the body inside. Only then did she look back to the damaged wall, hesitating ever so slightly at the Time Lord's offer. There was no doubt he was the sort to tinker with things and there was also no question as to whether or not someone of his intelligence could repair a few cracks to a wall. However it was Amitiel's experience that the smarter the person trying to fix something simple was, the more complex the fix tended to become. Still, the Doctor had managed to surprise her in a number of ways already so she saw no reason not to give him a chance.
"Only if you're sure you don't mind," she finally agreed easily enough. "The staff here is overworked enough as it is but, unfortunately, nearly ten thousand years of existence does not mean I know much in the way of repairing structural damage to buildings."
