Lex all but ignored him saying her name while she tried for an exit. Going back the wrong way could easily have them running into a dementor but going forward.....
Who was that?
She stared for a moment at the newest addition to the maze. A man. He looked a little worse for wear....and actually like he'd just gone through one hell of a thing but that was all she could discern before a hole was blown through the wall and she was being shoved through. The now giggling little girl was all the incentive she needed to put some speed into it. Her wand was raised the moment her feet hit the ground on the other side. "Bombarda!" Another lovely hole.
In the moment, it didn't occur to her that the Boggart could follow them out if it was so inclined, they were just leaving. There was another hole and another until finally she was out in the atrium again, relief and exhaution plain across her features. She waited for Rhydian to make his exit then magicked the hedges to regrow with that one spell she'd been taught a few years back. "I think...we should just get some food." Didn't matter that she'd collected him from the food table earlier, she was hungry now and in no mood to think about or talk about what they'd just seen. Sure she was curious about the man but common sense said not to ask so...food? Whatever, whoever, it was that had Lex running had his temporary thanks. It meant that he could go nearly full speed at his run and not bowl her over with his long-legged strides. And it meant he didn't have to explain the necessity of just cutting their way out. She understood. No words were needed.
Not until they were out, and even then, it was questionable as to the wisety of such a thing.
Stopping beside her, Rhydian watched the vines regrow over the latest hole, half expecting to see those dark eyes watching out from the growing twigs and leaves. He could imagine them there, though he didn't actually see anything. The memory was potent enough.
His stomach did a flip of protest at Lex's suggestion, forcing him to swallow a fresh bought of bile. How could she think of eating after such an ordeal?
Which made him wonder, who was it? That little girl? That man? The questions prodded him among the assuage of visual images from the maze, from the past. It was starting to make his head hurt. He squinted at her, finding her features a little blurry around the edges. "Alright." He hoped his voice didn't sound as small as he felt. Hoped his hands would stop shaking soon, but just in case, he stuffed them in his pockets. "Good...job on getting us out...."
