I can spare a spell or two.
*Holds out my hand against the bush, this time dissolving the bead completely in my hand, and creating a red magic circle in its wake*

@Nimda

…I know, but I’m curious to see what it’ll do. Never seen that spell before…I’ll feed it more snacks after, it’ll be fine. I’m sure…Don’t worry.

*Compares the difference in burn rates between the innards and the outside of the leaves*

@Nimda

*it appears to be almost the same*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*This time clinks two of the beads together on either side of the leaf's innards, setting them alight*

@Nimda

*nothing appears to happen as the fire is out when it is lit*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Steps inside and plucks another leaf, this time crumpling it between my fingers*

@Nimda

*smiles as it closes behind you, looking back at the table*

*Huffs and walks back to the entrance of the maze*
Lily, I have a plan.

@Nimda

*seems interested and listens close, glancing at the Faye and nods in response to her*

You could say I am harming you two in a malicious manner if I were to “toy” with you like that. Which goes against our contract.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

You would never toy with us?

@Nimda

Not in a manner that you are assuming. Maybe I play around with a joke or two, but to make you wander aimlessly with no intention of letting you complete a task is just tainting what my goal is to research you two. How will I be able to learn about you two together and individually if you don’t trust me.

The only kind of person who owns a labyrinth is the kind who tests and toys with others.

@Nimda

Test? Well yes, the labyrinth is a test. A test of determination and mental strength. I would assume that is a given for any maze, but I would never toy you. Otherwise you won’t show your true ability to get through a small task such as this. it seem you may be overthinking the problem. The true way is just to go through the labyrinth. Like any other one.

I know your type. I'm looking for the true way through this labyrinth, or I'm going to make my own.

@Nimda

*tilts my head*
My type?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

How do we get out if we decide we want to leave?

@Nimda

The way will appear. It’s easier to give up, but the rewards of keeping going will be worth it. After all, this may be the easiest loot you could obtain in your life. No risk at all!
*sips again and it gets refilled*
You seem to be having a problem with the challenge. Or at least the idea of it… are you expecting more? Like danger or some extraordinary way to figure out the puzzle?
