“BURN?!” Squeaked a girl who both looked petite and capable of punching a draekon if it looked sideways at her.

“SEARCH?!” Blurted the Blind Guy. Oh…yes. Yes he wanted to see where this was going.

“What are you doing here?” Burn fumbled waving his arm and narrowly missing a glass. Nathair watched them with bated breath, now he had not one – but two weirdos to be harbingers of chaos.

“What do you mean ‘what are you doing here?’ You’re supposed to be half-way across This Place! Are you okay? I did NOT like how that last conversation ended.” She fussed over him, her body tilted just a little with every movement she made.

“Waddya mean?”

“Yes, how did your conversation end?” Nathair whispered with unconcealed anticipation.

“Do you not remember throwing your phone?” She retorted. Nathair had no idea what a phone was but apparently it was important… almost like bandages, no one should ever throw bandages…

“Oooh yeah. I did do that.” He said – almost the exact same way Alessio would admit to climb out of the castle at night to a fifty foot drop without any ledges or footing so he could wander about town as a twelve-year-old without any adult supervision. Usually to practice shooting his bow while riding some animal at full gallop. “Well, it worked.”

“Stop that.” ‘Search’ commands, yanking the Blind guy’s hand out of his mouth. Oh yeah…Alessio was always chewing his knuckles too. “Now tell me what happened.”

Oh yes, please explain what all has happened. Everything that has happened is absolutely plausible and believable and won’t at all make people think you’re insane.

“Everything’s fine.” Burn lies, and actually inches a little closer to Nathair to whisper. “Hey, did we fall through another hole in reality?”

“Nope, same one.” Nathair said, without even trying to whisper. By now Search was fumbling through the Blind Guy’s cloths with ill-concealed abandon.

“Um. Do you notice anything off about this place?” Burn asks just a couple pitches higher than usual.

“It’s just a Ma’n’Pa shop.”

Oh yeah. Totally. Ah the upcoming shock and horror.

“I mean outside the shop.”

“What do you mean outside the shop?” She eyed him quizzically.

“Um. Come look?”

She rolled her eyes and decided to humor him, Nathair followed them both outside just waiting for it to hit.

“Alright. What do you want me to see?”

“Um. Look up?”

She gaped at the sky her eyes popping wide as saucers, kicking her two braids behind her with the effort to tilt her head even higher. Haha…yeah, this was almost worth nearly dying by landing in another dimension.

“So…who’s your girlfriend?” Nathair asked Burn.
