Room 310, Thursday afternoon

"Hurry up, Snarf! We need to catch the portal," said Lion-o, shoving stuff in a duffel bag. He wasn't taking a lot with him since he was coming back in the fall, but at the last second, he decided he needed a few extra things.

"I still don't know if this is a good idea, Lion-o," said Snarf, taking the extra outfits out of Lion-o's duffel and folding them neatly. "Maybe you should have contacted Lord Claudus and told him that you were taking a portal. And maybe you should leave some clothes behind. You don't need all of this."

"But I want to surprise him! Think of how surprised he'll be, Snarf," said Lion-o. "I can't wait to see him and it's the whole summer. I'm going to need lots of clothes. We'd better hurry if we're going to catch that portal. Come on, Snarf!"

[Establishy but open if you want to catch Lion-o before he leaves for the summer!]
