For a moment, Rhydian just watched her from the corner of his eyes. There wasn't much that one could say to a statement like that, and knowing Lex she most certainly didn't want a hug or hand-squeeze, things that might be taken as degrading to her strength. And he most certainly was not going to ask if that's why she wasn't a huge fan of kisses.

Bad timing brain. Simply bad timing.

Pursing his lips, he let the silence between them reign for a few moments. Not a bad thing, silence. Especially in light of such news. It was almost a respectful tribute to the dead groundskeeper, though he wasn't sure exactly what a groundskeeper was or what said person had to with Lex. Or why there was a dementor near Lex.

"Never seen a dementor before myself," but death was an old friend, "just heard about them." He couldn't resist giving her some sort of assurance, and settled for giving her hand a brief, understanding squeeze as he turned them around another corner. "So, thank you for hauling us out of there."

Patronuses or not.

He also tried for a light-hearted smile. "Being lost is half of the fun." Provided there were no more dementors to come calling. What the other half was? He was still working on that, in case she asked.


The silence passed unnoticed while Lex tried catching her bearings. They had taken a couple left turns to be sure and possibly half as many right. Had they been moving further in or closer to the entrance they'd just come from? Might help if all these shrubs didn't look alike. It was just an endless wall of green that stretched in all directions.

His statement got an intrigued raise of her brow. "Never? Not even from a far?" She didn't know if she thought he was lucky or not. Thing is, as terrifying as they were, they were also fascinating and Lex liked knowing she'd done something at least once. Problem with the dementors that term was that their appearance wasn't a one time deal, they were everywhere.

"They took over Hogwarts during my Third Year. It was alright til they got into our Common Rooms and eventually tried making a feast out of us." And she meant that. The day they crashed the Quidditch match, nearly outing Odessa and Kinsley was amusing, the way they clung to each other and Theo was bawling, priceless....then they got inside the Gryffindor Common Room and the roles changed and SHE was the one near tears but naturally feeling better knowing that she didn't cry when Theodore Kinsley most certainly HAD. Ahem.

"Hauling's almost second nature now when it comes to those things." Experience did that.

"And I'm guessing we're having the time of our lives then." If being lost was half the fun and Lex didn't even know where to start looking for the exit, it was safe to say they MUST have been having a blast. Funny how it seemed to be getting darker though. Not cold, just dark which automatically ruled out a second round with the Dementor but it didn't change the fact that something was up.

Lex continued on, figuring if it wasn't a dementor it was perfectly manageable even in the now very very dim ligh--

"Rhydian..." Her eyes widened considerably as she felt something at her bare feet. The ground here was damp. She didn't mind it at first because it felt nice but now there was something wrapping around her ankle and making it's way up. "I think...I think there's something at my feet." Seconds later the same coiling motion worked at her other ankle and up. What the kneazle??
