SPOILER!!: *sighs* I suck *HERE NOW*

It wasn't until immediately after Dale had said it that he realised his manners or... whatever they were... might be viewed as something slightly more suspicious. Were they not going straight into a diligence exercise, after all? It occurred to him that suggesting someone else enter first and basically turn their back to him might seem a little dubious.

A year of work being surrounded by Aurors and Hit Wizards had not, as he'd expected, made him as paranoid as them. Instead, Dale found him expecting suspicion from everyone he interacted with. He decided he preferred it.

All those thoughts ran through Dale's head when the young woman stared at him, and he felt... a little awkward. And also like a bit of an idiot, but mostly awkward. But... whew. Okay. "Of course," he replied, giving a nod and stepping into the maze, too.

He was silent for a moment, stepping cautiously ahead, but it had not escaped his notice that Dale didn't know this girl's name or anything. Seemed like something that needed rectifying if they were maze-ing it up together. "I'm Dale, by the way. Dale Upstead. MLE." Just throwing that out there.

"Right." Taking a few steps forward, Olly finally walked into the maze with her wand in her hand. She glanced over her shoulder and raised her eyebrows at the guy. "You're coming, yeah?" Olly could definitely use some backup here.
