While the cheeky nature of her words hadn't escaped her, Greta thought very little of them and their effect. The fact was, the occasional outrageous word or phrase sometimes fell unthinkingly out of her mouth, and the people who knew her well had generally come to accept this about her (though merciless teasing often followed). Of course, the thought never once occurred to her that Jake did not, in fact, know her very well at all, so she merely appeared very scandalous.
"I'm sure I've seen worse," she said cheerfully, wholly unaware of the turmoil she had raised in her male companion. In fact, her only focus was on their ominous surroundings, and her strong desire to escape the danger of the maze and get to the centre. So she instead pointed to the left and said, "There, the way out is definitely through there!"
Then hurried with him in tow (in essence, lugging Jake by the wrist so he had very little say in the matter) towards the promised path to the wild revelry of the party that surely awaited them there.
