[No attack coming is a promising sign, and it's even more of one that she's apparently willing to follow him out of here. Hopefully. She doesn't seem to be trying to deceive him, although he's admittedly too distracted to be giving her his full focus.
The only problem is... He did know the way out. But they just went through a hole in the wall and into another part of the maze, and he hasn't explored all the pathways in this place; he has pieces, and can draw up a mental map in his mind palace, but the section they're in is blank.
Still, if it's going to connect anywhere, it has to be in one of two directions. So they just have to get moving, avoid that thing or any others that might try to corner them again, and go through some trial and error until they find the way out.
He considers not telling her that last part, but the alternative option of her figuring out he's pretending to know what he's doing is even worse, so--]
We're now in a part of the maze that I haven't explored. I know the correct direction to go, but we may have to try a few routes in order to get there.
[He refrains from adding that if she'd just listened to him in the first place they would've been out of here by now and he'd have use of both hands, but the calculated chance of her reaction to that being favorable is not even close to making it worth it.]
