It was a good thing Connor didn't see the orbing. If he had, Chris wouldn't have heard the end of it till he taught him how to do so. And since that wasn't possible...well, it'd have been a very long day for Chris.
Connor was already attempting to find footholes in the tree. "Who's Wyatt?" he called, attempting to pull himself up. First try was no good, but the second one? Oh, brilliant! He would make it up this tree if it was the last thing he did! And, knowing Connor's spontaneous nature, it might just well be. "Your dad can't hear you, even if he is important. I don't think we're near home. I wonder if we were stolen by pirates in the middle of the night? Can they do that?" All of this was being babbled as Connor worked his way to the second level of branches. "Or maybe we time traveled! This looks like one of those old movies mum watches. They're really boring, all old people snogging and stuff but it might be!"
He didn't know why this kid was so worried. Sure, it was weird, but it wasn't like they were gonna die or anything! Not yet, anyway.
