The walk back to the dorms was a silent affair, each of us lost in our own thoughts about the disastrous simulation. As we entered our shared room, the weight of exhaustion from the morning training and the intense first class hit us all at once.
"Dibs on the first shower," Alex muttered, already peeling off his sweat-soaked shirt.
Ryn and I nodded, too tired to argue. We each took turns freshening up, the cool water washing away the grime and some of the stress from the day's events.
Just as we were settling in, Toby burst through the door, looking considerably more relaxed than when we'd last seen him.
"Feel better?" Ryn asked with a smirk.
Toby's face reddened slightly. "Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up. You try controlling gravity without it affecting your bladder."
I couldn't help but chuckle, silently thanking whatever demons or gods were out there that my abilities didn't come with such an embarrassing side effect.
