[ Newt lets out a small chuckle, it's honestly been a while since he's felt like he could laugh about things. He yawns, open mouthed and uncaring before letting his arm drop to his side. Thomas's humour is oddly infectious. ] Maybe a little bit. You can be a buggin' shuckface sometimes. [ No he wouldn't, he's joking too. No matter how mad Thomas made him, he'd never attack him. He'd never try to harm him. Hell, he hadn't even been able to let him go without food in the Glade. Thomas is his best friend. ]
Before or after I accidentally shock us? [ It'd be a boldfaced lie to even suggest he can really control what he's doing yet. It makes him feel a little more useful though. ] Surely, I'd at least be able to save myself first, they'd definitely go for you first. People like me. [ And he's joking again, it feels nice to be able to. But the answer to why Thomas is awake draws a sigh from Newt. ] What are ya thinking about? [ It's a question that he hopes doesn't lead to the other boy sending them on an hour long rant or something, but Thomas would listen to him if their roles were reversed.
Ah, of course he can't turn his brain off to try to sleep.
When Thomas lays down, taking up the space Newt had given him, the blond simply stares up at the ceiling too. ] None of the places we've been have really made sense. Trapped in a maze as lab rats, a desert with crazy cannibal monsters, now here? Ya don't have to figure the mysteries of the universe out immediately, y'know. [ They've apparently locked themselves down terrible topic road, because Newt's certain if he went to sleep now, he'd just end up having nightmares about the Cranks. Nearly getting his face bitten off had been traumatizing enough.
So the older boy tries a different approach. ] For the longest time, I didn't think I'd see anything beyond those walls. Now look where we are. None of it made sense to any of us at first, not even you.
