[he is obviously not there. Wherever he is there is a cozy flat and the sight of a city that is not New York outside of the window. That might be hard to tell as it's bucketing rain. But nevermind that]

Are there really [he makes an expression like he's eating a whole basketful of lemons] portals now? Or has everyone finally lost their bloody minds?

Did you drink the water? Eat a funny mushroom? Tell me that I didn't miss out on some mass hallucination, because if so, I would have postponed the trip.

Do not tell me what to believe, Alec. I went through those portals. You didn't.

That doesn't make any bloody sense. That can't be real. [how can it be real? Reality was reality!] Are you sure you're not on some kind of acid trip?

Hm. Never done acid.

But isn't there something with worms and their tunnels that could amount to portals? I'm sure there was. Something on a programme I saw with that Hawking fellow.

[he has no idea what you're talking about. But he feels on the wrong end of a joke. Fell is also being a bit shirty with him so he feels maybe the man has finally gotten sick of him. About bloody time too. Things can go back to normal]

Right. Sure.

Stay out of trouble. [he wasn't sure what else to say-- and he realizes he doesn't sound entirely convincing that he's convinced but that's because this is ridiculous]

Trouble, yes, right. Hard to enforce that from... where are you? Across the pond somewhere? If you'd like to play big brother and police us, you'd better be coming back.

[what the hell was with that attitude]

Maybe you shouldn't need policing. You're both adults.

But you enjoy it.

[that stung. Did he? No. Did it give him purpose? Embarrassingly yes. It was a failing, he knew. A fault.]

I'll just leave you to it then.
