Their forged alliance brings with it a clear sky, a gentle breeze, and a kinder heat from the sun above them. Marty notices it with a curious, upward tilt of the head, but doesn't dwell on it. More important is brainstorming and getting to his feet.
Having rested some, feeling his calve muscle go tense as he rests his weight on it makes Marty wince on instinct. But it's an easy enough pain to get used to, and one that a quick shake of the head is quick to dismiss. He's going to be fine.
"I kinda thought gettin' out of the maze was the point," he muses, but he doesn't argue Jacob's suggestion. "But if you're talking directions..." Marty looks down at the grass and where his blood had trailed behind him-- if nothing else, it tells them where not to go-- and then starts walking in the opposite direction. The first few feet they travel doesn't seem to offer any threats of peril, and with each turn they make, Marty vandalises the corresponding corner of leaves formed between their originating path and their new one. A big, hand-shaped hole should be easy enough for them to spot in case they go around in circles.
Curiously, and after their relative peace hasn't been disturbed in a while, Marty poses, "Have you seen anyone else in here besides me? Y'know, besides that lady with the token spiel."
