SPOILER!!: Throw Rhydian in that same bucket >.O

Did she not understand that was the very definition of a pyromaniac? Probably not. And trying to argue it would be like a dog chasing his own tail. He did that enough on his own, thank-you-very-much.

The reasons behind the maze were much more intriguing, and a point they could both agree upon. He was nodding, and thinking along the tangents such a proposition could have, when Lex suddenly turned into a caged creature. It took him a moment to figure out what had spooked her, and even when he did see it, he didn't understand.

So, despite her tugging and pulling, he stopped. Stopped and stared and tried to discern who he was seeing. No one he knew. Definitely someone she knew. "Lex....."

And then, in an all-too-clear moment, he understood. It was when he had turned to look at her, that he had seen the third addition to the maze from the corner of his eye. The man hadn't aged a day, hadn't changed a bit. The clothes, the shadow of facial hair, the dark crease to his brow, the deep set eyes and the stains dribbled everywhere over him. Dark. Freshly wet.

The only reason he knew the first spell that came to mind wouldn't work, was for the same reason that Lex wanted to run. Memories, in the flesh. Pictures of people they'd rather not see. Images they couldn't battle. The images that made the heart stop in a single, dead beat. Like a drop of rain on a drum.

Why she couldn't handle a man and a young girl, he didn't know. He didn't ask. It didn't matter.

The hole was blown in the hedge wall with little more than a thought, Lex grabbed and shoved through it ahead of him. She liked blowing things up. Perhaps she could do them both a favor and blow them all the way out of the maze. There were no pathways either of them wanted to take. As she said, it was time to go.

Lex tilted her head up at him, brows crinkling as she stared. "Who said I was a pyromaniac? I just happen to be able to appreciate fire more than the next guy is all." No need to go making entire diagnoses Dr. Rhydian. And could someone tell her why it felt like they'd been walking for miles? Just how big was this maze? WHY did it need to be so extensive? Must have been why they called it a 'diligence' exercise. Well, sorry to burst a couple bubbles but she wasn't diligent and didn't want to be inside this thing much longer. All these walls were starting to bother her; the monotony (save the times they actually ran into things) was starting to bother her so by the time they hit the intersection she was nodding her agreement. "Yup. Decided the Ministry budget can't pay us all so they're hoping some of us don't make it out. Has to be it. No other reason." With that she pulled him forward, ignoring the paths to the left and right. She...had had enough of lefts and rights for one day thank you very much. Lex was also decidedly hungry which was even more reason to leave the maze....and even less reason to believe what she was seeing as they got further down the path. Mazes didn't typically have little blonde girls standing in them, least of all one that looked EXACTLY like her sister, nor did they typically have her father who was meant to be at his own job. That being the case, there was one explanation and only one thing to do. *"We have to go. Now. Now."* Lex spun this way and that trying to find another path they could walk down. It wasn't a dead end by any means but the only way of advancing was the way she didn't want to go. Did she not understand that was the very definition of a pyromaniac? Probably not.
