"Max." Dor reached him, still dodging more pipes, "Are you sure this is the way?"

"Second time you are asking, Dorran," Max said with a little swing in his step. He gave him a slight punch and said, "Don't worry. I know where we are going." 

"There are a lot of pipes here." He said, dodging some more. 

"Yeah, this is going to be such a struggle to get to if we are a little taller than we are now." He said, smiling. 

"That is true." He sighed. "I can't believe we are going through so much trouble for a phone."

"This is to make sure nothing happens." Max said, "The correct sentence should be, I can't believe you are willing to do this much for a speculation." 

"I am just concerned about Cati." He said, almost hitting a pipe with his head. "Oh, that was close. Are you two ok?" 

"Of course," Carlotta said, still holding onto Kaia's hand as they dodged the pipes again. "Don't worry about us."
