[ Most certainly, none of them are in the best mindset right now. Naomi herself is exhausted and feeling very frayed, nerves worn thin. When her communicator flashes she glances down to see it's from Prax, which on its own is not alarming. Even the message itself really shouldn't be, just that single word. But in her current state, anxiety flares through her when she reads it. Sure, maybe he's just looking for someone to chat with, it's just that with everybody sleep deprived and on emotional roller coasters her mind starts providing miserably vivid worst case scenarios. She scolds herself but has to ask straight away anyway. ]

Hi. Is everything alright?

[ Hopefully no one's hurt, in any sense. ]

[contorta]

Everything is fine.

( and he's reminded that capitalising his letters is a thing, even if it feels like too much effort right now.
everything is fine... but is it? if he thought that, he wouldn't have contacted her. )

I just
Could you maybe check if Amos is okay?

[tekimetexeng]

[ The relief at the first reply is short-lived, fading back to worry. Less panicked worry, but still. She imagines Prax would sound more urgent if there was an injury involved, so... ]

Do you know where he is?
We need to find him a spare communicator already.

What happened?

[contorta]

He was in our corridor the last time I saw him.

[tekimetexeng]

[ Okay, up she goes, but the hallway is empty. Hm. And Prax definitely ignored her second question... ]

No one's out here now but I wasn't busy, I'll go looking. Or I can just grab him when he comes back tonight.

He's not hurt?

[contorta]

( he sure did. )

No one's hurt. That I know of.
Thank you, Naomi.

[tekimetexeng]

[ Hm. Alright... no more prodding that path, then. Must be something with just them. A fight, perhaps? She'll ask one last question, then let him be. ]

You're sure you're fine too?

[contorta]

I will be when this music stops and I manage to sleep again. As all right as any of us can be, here.

[tekimetexeng]

Yeah, we're all on edge. Whatever happened, I'm sure you guys will be right once we can get some sleep.

I'll find him. Make sure.

Try to rest anyway, Prax. It helps a little.

[contorta]

I'll try.
Thank you.
