Phone. Noise. Good bloody god, would somebody answer that?
Jono cracked open one eye, taking a moment to get his bearings.
... Oh. Right. So that phone was his, then. And he supposed he ought to be thankful that the mob hadn't given him a frisking for valuables while they were at it. It took him a moment of fumbling, but he finally managed to open his phone, scooting back to prop himself against the brick wall.
"'Lo?"
Oh, that sounded good and coherent. He cleared his throat and tried again.
It was such a good thing empathy didn't work over cross-dimensional phone connections or she'd be teleporting to his side.
"Hello, Jono," she said, sitting cross-legged on her bed with Joni in her lap. "I did not wake you, did I?" With time differences, who knew what time it was for him now.
The middle of the night, but that didn't have much to do with anything at all, really.
"... Sort of," Jono replied, raising one hand to pat gingerly at the bloody patch of hair on the back of his head. "But you know I'm not the most sound sleeper in the first place. Calling to tell me the whole mess on the island has blown over already, I hope?"

If Jono thought Raven wouldn't be checking on him, then he'd been hit over the head harder than he realized.

A guy could dream, anyhow.
