Ben was not entirely sure what was happening at first. The loss of his sight led to the assumption that the challenge was over. However, the feeling of something foreign stroking his face had come as both a shock and worry, especially after his mage had decided to hurry after something. What was that something? He did not know. Lilie neglected to inform him of anything that was happening and left Ben to stumble awkwardly after her. Keeping up with the mage shouldn't have been such a hassle but in her excitement he found himself nearly tripping more than a few times. 

To his relief they would eventually come to a halt. He sincerely hoped she had stopped to find direction; the lack of noise dashed any hopes that they had reached the exit by now. A shame, he had hoped whatever they followed would have freed them from the forest. He extended his arm out slowly and found nothing; had Lilie abandoned him? If he focused on his hearing, he could faintly make out her footsteps along with another. An animal, it would seem. Had they reached another challenge?

There wasn't a chance to ask, either, especially with Lilie asking whatever it was she was following to wait. It was time for him to say something at this point, lest she lead them on a wild goose chase.
