[The sheep that wasn't aggressing, that seemed the easiest to frighten for this fact ends up actually being the easiest to scare. The trouble is that rather than stiffening and flopping to the ground much like nearby sheep do, this particular sheep yells. She yells in that sort of shriek one would associate more with a teenage girl than a sheep, which is really why the nearby livestock manage to faint than anything else. The black sheep in question leaps high into the air and with a puff of smoke, down comes a Puca that lands squarely on her bottom.]

[Akko leans back as she tries to catch her breath, ignoring how much it smarts landing on the ground like that. Eventually, she lifts her head and frowns a little.]

Warn me before you go and do something like that!

[In truth, Akko is a little hesitant about wrangling with sheep with teeth. Well, not so much teeth because she's pretty sure sheep have teeth, but these are really sharp teeth. And these sheep seem real sick of being spooked year after year to get their wool shorn judging from the glances spared in their direction. Neither Chariot nor Akko are close to the herd yet, but they already seem ready take a bite out of them.]

[But despite the livestock's ill-temper, when she overheard some Witches at the Coven lamenting the potential fate of these guys, Akko knew that something needed to be done. They can mean mug Akko and Chariot all they want! It's not gonna deter her, no sir! Akko stands with her back straight (definitely not stiff with a little apprehension), chin raised, and sleeves rolled up ready to tussle with some sheep.]

[Or as ready as she's ever going to be. Her ear twitches a little. Maybe the Puca instincts will help and keep her from getting bitten. Would she still be able to run as fast if she was transformed? No, don't think about that!]

I should probably do it over here, right? [She looks up at Chariot.] I don't think they'll let me get close.

[Akko sits on a bench with a fairly large pile of flowers beside her, her tongue slightly stuck out as she weaves the stems of different flowers together. The pile is in fact so large, it looks like she raided someone's garden to gather them all. Certianly far more flowers than she'll ever need, right?]

[Or. Well. She attempts to weave them together. As it turns out, making flower crowns is something that happens to be a little easier said than done, which wasn't something she was entirely anticipating. Her reasoning, regardless of how accurate or inaccurate it might be, is that little kids make these all the time. So, she should be able to figure them out. It'll just take a little trial and error.]

[...]

[And maybe a gigantic stack of flowers.]

[Regardless, she is kind enough to offer her duds. There's a growing pile of flower crowns that didn't come out quite right that she doesn't feel she can actually give to anyone. So, when someone walks by, she doesn't look up from what she's doing but offers,]

You can help yourself if you like any of them! I won't charge you anything for them and you can totally take credit for making them.

[...Why you would want to is anybody's guess.]

Oh no, that wall! [Akko points accusatorily for emphasis to the wall directly in front of them.] Was not there before! This place is definitely changing while we're in here, this is just proves it!

[It doesn't really...prove much of anything. While it's true that the pair of them have likely been going in very long, convoluted circles since they entered the maze, it's just as likely that Akko is fishing for any and all excuses as to how or why they haven't been able to find the exit. That being said, it also isn't exactly above the people in charge of this particular hedge maze to throw something like that. Before they entered, there was talk of how the hedges were often enchanted to create extra challenge or prevent cheating.]

[But there's no guarantee that's what's happening here and Akko isn't just completely and utterly lost.]

[She turns to Diana, hands on her hips.]

You got any ideas because I'm fresh out.

[ Chariot in all her life had never been intimidated by sheep. Getting a chance to pet one was one of the first real simple joys she had when she moved to England back when she first enrolled in Luna Nova.

There's a first time for everything, one supposes.

When she'd agreed to help train Akko's transformation magic, to become something that would successfully startle the sheep into obedience, she hadn't realized the sheep themselves would be well more startling. She really ought to stop underestimating what Aefenglom could throw at her. ]

W-well... Honestly, I think if they see you transform, they'll realize it's a trick, so... maybe somewhere out of sight is best.

[ Away from the sharp sheep. ]

[Whereas Akko insisted she knew where she was going the whole time, Diana quite frankly could tell that they had been making absolutely zero progress from the moment they first began. But honestly? she wasn't even mad.

A little annoyed, maybe.

But it was pretty much their whole dynamic, at this point.]

We could try marking where we've already been, but I have to think they've already prepared for that.

[No good, there. But then she got another idea.]

If they're using magic to constantly throw us off, why don't we try to dispel that magic?

[The slightly unsteady footsteps didn't resume, and long feathers hissed against each other as a tail swished slowly one way and then another.

The voice that rumbled down at Akko was a bit sluggish, but at its usual pitch this time for Kaede.

The Chimera looked down at the Puca not with hostility or annoyance (those weren't flowers from Maria's garden, her hyenas would have had a fit loud enough for her to hear at someone strange being on the grounds), just an idle, placid lilt to her thoughts. The wine buzzing in her veins hadn't completely robbed her wits, just blunted the sharp edges of the worst of her prickle. The presence and noise of people nearby didn't bother her terribly much, even if it was someone she was on...complicated, footing with.

Kaede's tail swished back the other way, and she finally came to a decision of sorts.]

...any honeysuckle ones in there?

[She could smell something like that somewhere in the pile; her own head was unadorned now, though a few errant petals in her hair told of flower crowns past, either fallen off or snagged on something.]

[ That's a lot of flowers. And she thinks she pile is growing. ]

Um... [ They smell good, and they don't really look terrible, and isn't flower crown making all about the heart in it anyway? ] Alright, thank you!

[ It's a gift!

And... is that a dandelion? It looks... tasty.
