Boys, as it turns out, are really easy in some ways. They've lacked this effect in the past, but they didn't have a ton of practice as the tease. Of course, they did not appear as needy as she did, as confidence was a part of this charade.

Still, they smile at the impact they had, giving his hand a squeeze as they resume their hunt for a dead end. Or, failing that, a desolate section of the maze.

Two turns later, a proper dead end. Elation and fear play under their mask, as the realization they may be in over their head settles in. Offset by the fact that it seemed like a good idea at the time, and still does. Their expression remains cool and collected, "It appears this isn't the way out. Shall we double back, or do you have anything you'd like to try?"

Last chance for one of them to run, and they are standing their ground, waiting to see what the next play is.
