[he doesn't entirely know how to answer that, but there's a slight grin.]
I guess so. [sometimes you have to present yourself as being laid back and calm in order to a.) help someone else stay chill and b.) grapple with your own chill. it's fine.] At this point I think it's important to remember what we're supposed to do here and not lose focus, but getting upset about the wrong things isn't going to help.
[mostly because there's never enough time for that.]
That's a pretty mature way of looking at it. But I agree, I don't think we should be causing each other grief over things when there's a much larger problem at hand.

Much larger, if people are being swept away into life-threatening situations without a moment's notice.
The distraction isn't the worst thing to keep people from panicking too much, but...it's a balance, isn't it? Making sure things don't get too bad but also that people don't get too complacent.
[he shakes his head.] I really want to know how you guys were taken. There wasn't even time to prepare or anything? Were any of you together before that?
No kidding. Waking up here without warning was already pretty bad, but it was safer for a while. Something like that...there's always the possibility you won't be able to get back for a while. If at all.
What really bothers me is how the two groups didn't even overlap.

No, I was alone in the library. I just blinked and woke up there. It really happened without any sign or warning... which is a little frightening.

I'm sure we'll see.

But you're right. We'll see if it comes down to that. [a pause.] Thanks for telling me all of this.
