Well. Okay. ... Phew.
Shame they hadn't summoned brooms sooner. He'd be bitter about it if he thought it would help him, but Benzi had decided to put his idea to rest the second they'd slipped out of the Great Hall. He might have thought about it once more as they ran across the grounds, but he wasn't bitter. He'd even gotten a little praise out of Dakest which was a good thing in the grand scheme of things.
No, Benzi was bitter about Cutty. He didn't know this Jackson guy at ALL, and the entire way down from the castle he'd kept one eye on the way and one eye on Jackson, trying and failing to assess the kind of person he was. Kind of difficult to read a personality when running and following spider juice. Venom. Whatever. Point was, he wished Cutty were here. Might make this entire situation a little less terrible.
Coming to a halt at (presumably) where the age line was, Benzi peered into the dark forest. He'd never been here before, not since he'd been a nosy little first year. He moved to stand on Jackson's other side and shifted his grip on his wand to stretch out his fingers, straining to hear anything beyond their group.
Noel was in there. IN THERE. With those bloody terrifying spiders. No, Professor Dakest, he wasn't OKAY. He needed to get his friend and get the hell out of here as quickly as humanly possible. Preferably quicker. Nevertheless, Benzi's mouth stretched into a grim line and he nodded at the Professor. "Still in one piece, sir." And not spider food.
"I'm Benzi Rider, by the way," he half whispered to Jackson as an afterthought. Might as well while they waited for the ministry guy to get to it and track the spiders' venom into the forest. "I'd say it's nice to meet you but. . ." yeah, hopefully no explanation necessary. His best friend was in there. They needed to go NOW.
