Chrysalis

Chapter 1208

Jern woke with a start.

“What was that?” he mumbled sleepily.

It’s me.

“Who’s me?” he wondered as he rubbed at his eyes.

Anthony.

“Who’s Anthony? Can I go back to sleep, Anthony?”

You were asleep? Sorry about that. I don’t sleep much.

“So… can I?”

No. Well… you can in a second, I just need your attention for a minute. Two minutes. Look, I’ll be honest with you, five minutes probably, then you can go back to sleep.

“I’m really tired, Anthony. Can this wait until the morning?”

I mean… it could? But I’ve already woken you up, so we may as well do this now. Can you go and get your friend?

“Wha… what? Which friend?”

The other golden glowy person. The girl.

“Alis?”

“You don’t know?”

Well, I haven’t spoken to her yet, I figured I’d just talk to one of you and then you could get the other.

“She’s… she’s in the girls’ dorm. I can’t go in there.”

Dammit. Look. Just put some pants on or whatever and I’ll get her to meet you outside. I want you to be able to talk to each other while I figure this out.

Jern blinked a few times and rubbed at his eyes again. The fuss over the new Class he and Alis had unlocked had gone on for ages, and frankly, he was exhausted. He didn’t need this right now. He looked down.

“I’m already wearing pants.”
