So... left, right, or straight here?

Pao wished he knew the general direction of the necklace. As it stood, he was making blind turns with no sense of purpose. Not only did it make him feel lost, but he also felt dumb. And if there was one thing a Mancini did not like, it was feeling outsmarted by shrubbery.

Left, right, left again. He peered around several corners before continuing along his chosen path. Then suddenly his feet were taken from under him. "Woah!" he yelled as he hit the floor. His eyes moved to his ankles as he spotted vines wrapped around his feet. "THE MAN-EATING PLANT THAT ATE PROFESSOR BURBAGE! HELP!!!!" Wait, no. That had a big bloom. These were just vines.

Taking aim at the base of the hedge where the tendrils originated, he shot a Freezing Charm at the flowery foe. "Gotcha!" he said in satisfaction when the plant was immobilized. He carefully unwrapped the rigid shoots and then stood, backing away as fast as he could. It was definitely time to get away from that particular hedge.
