It was already solidly in the "not fun" category when he contacted Julian, but Quentin almost falls out of the damn sky when that psychic shockwave hits him. Keyword: almost. Thankfully Nate gave him enough of a heads up that, despite Quentin doing the stupidest thing possible and trying to help the poor bastard out, he could still do some last-minute telepathic finagling to not get completely wrecked. It hurts, though. Like... a lot. Like the worst charley horse, the worst brain freeze, and a punch to the kidney all at once. Woof. Good thing he brought back-up.
Quentin had a head start, but Julian makes it to the portal first. Unsurprising, considering he's not currently getting his brain clobbered by an omega telepath going supernova (and also he's just a faster flyer than Quentin but that's irrelevant). Must be nice. He also had a far more nimble landing than Quentin, who almost immediately face-plants on the ground several feet away from the portal, but manages to keep his balance with just some awkward stumbling. Look, he's still upright! And that's what matters.]
Need any help with that?
[Quentin gestures at whatever's going on at the portal. So what if he's huffing and puffing, hunched over with his hands braced on his knees, and clearly had a bloody nose a few minutes ago? He's fine. Mind your business.]
