"Well, hullo there." A tiny, oddly chirpy voice cut in as the saber plunged into the wall. "I do say, I wasn't quite expecting renovations so soon..."
But then, maybe this was all for the better. The worm who was perched on a nearby ledge had been planning on building a new guest bedroom in the near future.
Peter
Hey, something that wasn't trying to kill them. Maybe it could could help!
"Uh, sorry if we just speared your living room," Peter said, bending down. "You wouldn't happen to know the right way to go, would you?"
Ben
"If it's through this wall, I'm going to feel brilliant," Ben added.
Tahiri
Tahiri, who out of everyone in the group would think of such a thing, hoped the wall hadn't been alive, because then she'd just feel awful.
She kept that to herself, though, and bit her lip as she asked hesitantly, "We're really, really sorry about the surprise. It's just that we're trying to find some friends, and it's a bit confusing out here."
The Worm
"Oh, everything is confusing about here," the worm agreed, giving his wee little head a wee little nod. "You should all come in and have a nice spot of tea, and then we'll be able to talk about your friends. And you can meet the missus!"
The worm did not seem to realize that, of course, they would not fit inside of the tiny crack that he considered to be a front door.
... Well, possibly now that there had been a glowy thing stuck into it, granted.
Ben
Ben crouched down. "That sounds astral," he said, "but I'm not sure we'll fit. Will you just tell us which way to go to find our friends?"
The Worm
"Oh," it was another one of those. Silly, silly children. The Labyrinth was no place for people so young! It could be dangerous in there! "Trying to find your way into the Labyrinth, are you?"
Really, tea was so much safer.
Peter
"I think technically we're already in the Labyrinth," Peter said. "We're looking to get to the center. Now, I'm sure the missus is quite nice and quite lovely, but we're on a bit of a time crunch. But tell you what, if you know the way we need to go, you tell us, and on our way back there will be even more of us to stop by for tea."
The Worm
The worm paused, seeming to take this into consideration.
"Well, have you tried that entrance, right over there?"
Really, the promise of more company was very appealing. One didn't get many guests, living in a crack in a Labyrinth wall.
