Define 'Normal'

Sometimes Moses looked at his team like they were crazy. Sometimes he thought that he was the only normal one.

"Are you kidding?" Mystel spluttered over his shoulder, scaring the living daylights out of a Moses halfway through his daily-morning-mirror-front-mantra of 'you are the normal one, you are the normal—'

Moses wheeled on him, eyes flashing towards the nearest escape route. "Sure—no! I mean… no, I'm not kidding… I'm—"

"The normal one..?" Mystel suggested helpfully.

"You are?" Ming-Ming asked, sneering amusement under Moses' right elbow.

Moses jumped away from both of them, verging on either tears or hyperventilation.

"I thought I was the normal one…" Ming-Ming whined at Mystel, who replied, 'me too' in sign language—conceivably because he'd forgotten that it wasn't Ming-Ming who knew sign language, it was Moses, and he'd been trying to keep the conversation a secret from… Moses… but it was Ming-Ming who—and—Moses knew—um…

They ignored Moses pressed against the closed door, who in turn ignored Garland on the other side of the door, who pounded on the door and yelled, 'What's going on?!"

To which Brooklyn responded, "Moses is normal."

To which Garland stopped pounding and laughed, "…Really..?"
