Jay frowned. Yes, yes cheap shot. Great job old boy. You're rubbing it in.
It didn't escape Jay's notice that the guy was not concerned about the glowy magic lights. If he was another wizard, maybe it was why he didn't sense anything from him. There were probably all kinds of rules to these things. Those D&D nerds were up to their eyeballs in rules about magic. Maybe Jay should have paid more attention to them in junior high.
If this fellow was cloaking himself in intrigue and mystery, so be it. Jay accepted the explanation he did offer, but also noticed that he again withheld his name. Anonymity. That's cool, man. Whatever floats your boat.
But Jared was far more qualified to deal in magicks, and Jay felt obligated to at least explain a little. Don't tell Vanders.
He cleared his throat, again keeping his voice low as they progressed. "I might have left a long and totally not embarrassing voicemail while slightly or totally shitfaced last night where I didn't want you to find out that I could uh-- you know--channel"
He scratched the back of his head, glancing askance at Vanders, apology wrinkling his gaze. There was more to the story, but thank god he hadn't said anything about killing cannibal monsters at a concert and everything else afterward.
Not long after, the tunnel came to a blunt and complete end. The map showed that it continued, but an apparently very big and solid stone wall said otherwise.
He looked at the map, back to the wall, and back to the map. "Rock paper scissors for who gets to knock down the fake wall?"
He grinned at his two channeling companions.

Only darkness shows you the light.
