"What? I didn't - " Noah dropped his sandwich and dug his phone out of his pocket. "Oh s**t, it's dead, I didn't even see, do you think we'll get in trouble for, let me see the text?"

Al fished his phone out and offered it to Noah. After he took his phone, he went about quietly eating the rest of his sandwich.
There was indeed several messages about bringing water and runes to a portal.

"I must have forgotten to plug it in last night, do you think it's too late to get stuff together," Noah said anxiously. "Is that a call for everyone?"

"I dunno," Al said while making absolutely no effort to leave. He simply polished off his sandwich then licked his fingers clean.
"I've been cleared for the next one though."

Noah got up and scooted across the room to plug his phone in, leaving it on t he nightstand, and returned to the desk to sit back down, looking nervous. Finally he picked his sandwich back up, asked, "Are you going to go?" and then bit into the sandwich.

"On the next one?" Al leaned back to take a packet of chips from Noah's bag. "Yes."

"Not this one?" Noah tucked one foot up and sneaked a worried glance at Al's face.

"No," Al answered, the look on his face was difficult to read. It almost looked blank as he opened the packet and fished out a chip. "So you have been cleared then?"

"I think so. I mean, I haven't been told I'm not? After the, the trial, I assumed that since they let me go and cleared me for standard duty that everything was going to be normal again. I mean. Our kind of normal."
NORMAL, Laz said dismissively.

Al munched the chip and swallowed. "Well, they said I remember enough now that I'm fine."
He picked out another potato chip and eyeballed it. "I'm just worried you wont be there again."

Noah exhaled slowly and leaned over to bump shoulders with Al. "I will if we're both sent on it," he said.

Al snapped up the chip and shot Noah an irritated look at the shoulder bump. IF. He hated that word and the uncertainty it carried with it.
"Maybe you should look into why you haven't been asked in a while?"

"I guess so," Noah said, not sounding hugely enthusiastic. "Did you want to do the one today? Are you mad?"

He was about to answer just as stiffly as before when Noah asked if he was mad... which effectively deflated him a bit.
"I did," he replied before stuffing several chips in his mouth and crunching on them loudly.

"I'm sorry," Noah sighed. He gave Al a careful sideways look. "How come you didn't just go, though? I'm, we're not always gonna be able to go together, I don't think."
