Survival definitely trumped chivalry.

"I'm Olly. Olly Clarke." She glanced at him briefly before focusing on their surroundings again. They weren't too far into the maze yet so it seemed like getting lost was their biggest obstacle. So far.

Dale blinked, deadpan. In his head, there was a silent battle between the two major reactions of 'well that was rude' and 'well actually... she has a point'. He thought about pointing out that it had only been an offer, but, having more than just a modicum of self-restraint, decided against it.

"I'm not one of those Auror types," was what he did say. "I'm more of a desk jockey. Less hero stuff. Tad more selfish, I'm afraid." That last part was a joke. Sort of. Well... it wasn't exactly a lie; he had a tendency to watch his own back, even if it hadn't been his attention walking in here.

"Olly," Dale repeated, so he'd remember it. "Got it." He nodded his head, then craned it, the better to see what was up ahead. He was just opening his mouth to say something else, but suddenly felt something snake around his ankle. He jumped in surprise, tried to leap away from whatever it was (failing, because it had hold of him so tight), and fell face first, SMACK, right on the floor. And that was when he saw the many weird tentacle things of what looked like could be... Devil's Snare. "Uh-huh. Right. Well. Might want to mind your feet, Olly."

Wow... this plant worked FAST. Already had hold of his free hand. But Dale kept his cool and non-verbally light up his wand, brandishing it at the vines and sending the telepathic message that he wasn't above conjuring bluebell flames, either.
