[Noah knows next to nothing about D&D or how it works.]
I tried doing it once. Nate made a charm to help me with something else and he said I needed to- [There's a pause as he searches for the word.] -imprint on it.
Telekinetics back home say it's like... like you gotta feel the thing you're moving. I don't really get it, but I think you could probably learn, if you wanted to.
[He sounds... skeptical, but not like Caleb is totally bullying him into it. If he could get better at making it happen on purpose, maybe he could stop doing it without meaning to.]
[ Caleb doesn't actually have a lot going on personally. There's Cal, but that aside he mostly keeps to himself. Kinda hard to get things going when you're feeling everyone else's drama. ]
Who to contract with now that Adam and Blue are both gone.
[That's the biggest problem looming over him at the moment. Other problems like keeping the house—and with it, more importantly, keeping safe and hidden the patch of dream forest in the shed out back—sort of hinge on that.]
[ He says it immediately, without even thinking first. But a second later he gets self-conscious. ]
I mean, I'll put down in writing that your stuff is yours if I disappear. And if you find someone else down the line, I'll sign the stuff over. Cal will be cool.
[Noah's not expecting him to up and offer just like that, so it takes a moment or two for the words to sink in.]
Really?
[Maybe it can be that easy... He likes Caleb and they get along. Though he doesn't know Cal at all, that's not really an issue. Aside from one or two very specific people he'd rather not be around, he doesn't care who else his Dom contracts with.]
...You could move in, if you want. There's spare bedrooms.
[It might be weird at first, but he'll adjust. His roommate standards aren't really that high and he can stow Ronan's miscellaneous dream things and anything else he wouldn't want a stranger seeing in his room or the shed.]
Awesome! He's a great guy, and he's got abilities too. He's kind of an empath and uh, telekinetic, I guess? It's a bunch of things. I think you'll like him.
[ Both Noah and Cal are easy to like so he doesn't think there'll be any problems. ]

I can... disappear, if I want to. [Sometimes also when he doesn't want to.] Be somewhere else. Or find people.
Sometimes I move things, or... things move near me, but not really on purpose.
[That only tends to happen if he's freaking out.]

[ Caleb knows that sometimes an ability can't be controlled, but most people he knows gain some control once they start practicing.
He rolls the die, gets a bad roll, and frowns at the board. ]
This is why I don't do D&D, I swear my character would break his neck climbing off a horse or something.

[Usually all he feels when it's happening is overwhelmed and upset, so he's not sure where to start with that.]
I think I'd break a lot of things first.

[ He doesn't want to push, but that's what they were trying to do back home; teach people with powers how to control them. ]
If you wanted. It might be fun.

[ He's still afraid and he's been trying to avoid emotionally charged scenarios, but at least now he's pretty sure he'd know it's happening. ]

[He quietly takes another turn in their game. Still looking down at the board, he adds,]
It can wait though. I have other stuff to figure out.

[ Plus, it'd probably be good for Noah too, even Caleb would feel the walls closing in if he lived on his own. ]
But uh, there's Cal also, and I know you don't know him, so if you're not cool with a stranger here we can keep hunting.
[ Caleb likes Cal a lot and he'd never leave him stranded, so they're a package deal for the time being. ]

I'll meet him just to make sure.
