"I think I understand. I can't believe it's already been three months since I arrived here..." [She tried to swallow the small amount of worry that surfaced with that statement, taking another sip of tea. If three months could go by so quickly, what if she lost track of time itself, like Puck had mentioned? There wasn't much she could do about it though...]

[Her smile turned sympathetic as she listened to his work though.] "That sounds like it could be quite disorienting."

[His omurice was finished up as he listened.] "A little, but I've adapted well enough. It comes with what I am. To quote some sisters I know, what's time to an immortal? Not that I'm immortal, but.. I've lived longer than most, so it counts for something."

[More tea was had.] "That doesn't make it any easier, and I can't imagine how it feels for a human." [Which wasn't true. Owen's sense of time was the same as any normal human, but Puck didn't mention that.] "Maybe that's why the ones I know back in Manhattan keep themselves so busy."

[magusrobin]

"Mmmm." [She hummed in agreement. People either liked to keep busy... or, in her own despair, she had been one to sit through the day wistfully. No aim, no purpose - which was why she supposed keeping busy was better. It kept thoughts away.] "I feel like it's somewhat the same - too short or too long. Perception changes depending on what is happening but... I don't know. Maybe I'll know what that feels like someday." [She gave him an embarrassed smile, though not going into it further. After all, she didn't know how limited her own time might be - or, if like other mages, she would outlast those that she met.]

[Puck finished his tea and nodded.] "Maybe. Humans have a very short life compared to fae, but everyone experiences time differently." [It had taken Puck about half of a century for things to change with how time felt to him; and with being in Somnius that was starting to shift very slightly.] "But for what it's worth, I'm glad you're spending some of your time with me, Chise."

[magusrobin]

"Of course." [She gave him a smile.] "I quite enjoy spending time with you. And I'm glad that you have some for me, too."

[Her own omurice and tea finished, she began to stack her used utensils.] "Thank you for the meal. Is there someplace I should put these?"
