"No way." Ravs and his opposite clearly were not prepared for the whole alternate universe thing. Teep and Leep had expressed similar feelings of shock, and now they were both talking very fast in what Reyna could only assume was dinosaur.
Talna had gone in to change while Lalna, who would have to make do, tried to explain the parallel universe situation. Reyna shot a glance at her opposite; this was the first time she'd met anyone from the other universe, let alone her own alter ego, and she wasn't quite sure how to take it. She noticed that Rythian was looking at her in the exact same way.
His expression plainly said "Okay. This is mind-bendingly weird." Reyna got the feeling that her expression said exactly the same thing, because Rythian tried to make a "So what? This is nothing." face. She replied with a "Sure it is." face. After that, their look-conversation went; So, what's your opinion on [Rythian inclined his head slightly in Lalna's direction]? [Reyna's face hardened in anger] Exactly. So, what are we going to do about Zak and Zoey? Find them, obviously. What, with [Reyna looked at Lalna, who was still trying to explain]'s help? Not if I have anything to say about it. Alright.
Rythian and Reyna walked away from the group, not making any noise, and the night quickly closed up behind them. Once they were out of range, Rythian whispered "Shouldn't we take Teep and Ravs and… their girl versions?" Reyna looked somewhat disapprovingly at her opposite "They're Leep and Mavs. And I work better alone." Rythian nodded, and his face said "Same." Somehow, neither of them felt that "alone" excluded each other.
Zoey and Zak were in a forest. They were trying to figure out what had happened. "So… Your friends are Reyna and Leep and Mavs?" asked Zoey. "Yeah." answered Zak, "and yours are Rythian and Teep and Ravs?" Zoey nodded. There was a long silence. There had been a lot of those lately.
Then they both tried to speak at once, and there was some confusion until Zoey said "Rythian said something about a portal that Lalna made. The one that I came through." "Something about a reverse gender universe." Zak continued her thought. Zoey cast him a "that is so annoying" look, and they both stood there for a while longer.
Then Zak asked "Where are we?" in the hope that Zoey knew, but she essentially was him, and she hadn't been paying any more attention than he had.
