Jordan gave Al a flat look. "The one Rep's currently expecting would have thought his current behavior was hilarious." He left it at that. "A reason, huh?"

"Oh. Then you both would be ignoring me. I'm glad you're not." At the question Al bobbed his head, "Yeah, I'm broken... wrong. Mum and da said so I think."

Jordan shook his head. "You've got capacities that most normal people don't understand. That doesn't mean you're broken, even though a lot of us get that before we come here."

"But where exactly is here? I thought this place was to fix me?" He eyed Jordan in confusion. "To fix all of us?"

Jordan gave Al a sharp, thoughtful look. "Do you remember how you got here?"

"Yeah, my parents sent me. I guess." Now that Jordan mentioned it...

"No, they didn't." Jordan shook his head. "Do you remember Nuru?"

"... you know the name of the voice in my head?" Al boggled at Jordan.

Jordan's mouth quirked into a smile. "Hold your hand out away from the table and ask him nicely to summon for you."

"Well now you are just talking crazy," Al's eyes went wide as the mere suggestion seems to have caused feelings in the back of his mind to bounce about excitedly. Feelings that weren't exactly his own.

"Humor me, give it a try," Jordan said, smiling. "Either that or move back and give me a few feet of space."

Al sighhhed exaggeratedly, certain this was Jordan being loopy too just in more 'subtle' ways. He limply held his hand up, "Come to meee Nuruuuu!" His voice may have been deliberately over the top.
The point still got across as a strange staff materialized to his hand. One that made Al immediately yelp and toss the poor thing over the table.
Nuru whimpered.

"Hey, be nicer to your weapon," Jordan said, grinning. He scooted his chair back, glancing around to be sure he wasn't about to knock anything over, and summoned Ferros briefly, just long enough to make his point. Then he let Ferros return to ring form, drowsy and grumbling. "We're not crazy here, just special. You signed up for this yourself."

Al looked at his own weapon in terror, terror which doubled at the sight of Ferros in his massive face crushing glory. Yeah, no.
"I don't think I'm quite.. uh... special enough to handle this man."

Jordan pulled his chair back to the table and leaned over to pat Al's shoulder. "You've been doing well. You should probably pick Nuru up or desummon him before he gets too cranky. You're the one who has to live with him, after all."
