Time Changes Things; Nilam

[Ridiculous]

ridiculous

do you think I’m funny?

She doesn’t even respond to Ridiculous, which might have offended someone else, but Ridiculous blunders on like the idiot he is.  He blunders on until he realizes that Nilam is up to something, and it looked quite…interesting. She is approaching the girl with an almost hungry look on her face. Did she intend to eat her own child? Was this just because she didn’t get to eat him?!? He looks alarmed for just a second before she says, “Accelerating”

“Accelerating? He asks, quite confused for a moment. (This is just another one of those times where things go over his head). Well, at least she didn’t say “eating.” But then it dawns on him. “I need her to speed up” she had said. As he puts two and two together, his face brightens up. “Oh! Oh!” He darts forward, instantly forgetting that she might still decide to eat him. “Can I help?!?” He sounds a bit overeager.

He stops at the river’s edge, nearly sliding into the river once more, but manages to stop just before the rushing water’s edge, not without sending a cascade of dirt and pebbles over the edge that spray all over Nilam and the child. He starts to gather up his abilities before she even agrees to letting him help, concentrating on the little girl, without even knowing exactly what she means by accelerating.

I mean, could she have meant several days, several weeks, several months? Did she want the girl to be able to talk? Did she want to girl to be able to hunt by herself? Oh, perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea after all, but still, he gathers up his abilities and aims them at the child. He would shoot for aging the child a few days, that couldn’t hurt…could it?

@[Nilam] feel free to stop him or play out his temporal manipulation or whatever. Just know that his abilities often backfire or don’t go as planned.
