ridiculous
do you think I’m funny?
Ridiculous watches Astra carefully as he shifts time around them. At first, she squeezes her eyes shut. Now, that won’t do, because she can’t see what is happening! He is about to say something, but then she opens her eyes again. He grins his goofy grin in her direction and concentrates harder on the task at hand. Don’t screw it up, don’t screw it up, he thinks to himself.
She seems awed by his magic, by his ability to manipulate time. His grin spreads wider across his face–if that was even possible, and he wonders if she can feel the joy that seeps off of him. And then, just like that, he feels the time manipulation fading. He could feel his energy waning. Before he took it too far, he allowed it to slip away, and time slowed back to its normal pace. Horses that were speeding across the meadow suddenly slowed to a crawl in comparison.
When she asks what kind of magic that is, a thrill runs through him. “It’s time manipulation!” he exclaims, well, practically shouts. He dances around in a circle like an excited puppy. “Both mum and dad have magic, so I got this really cool ability, thanks to them!”
