I'm not going to blame you for the actions of an illusion.

[ He smiles at her, gently flicking her forehead. ]

We managed to stop you, in any case.

[ wrinkles her nose at the flicking, but doesn't complain.. this time ]

Is Ayam the one that gave you the nasty blow to the head? How'd you stop her?

No, that was when our ship crashed. She didn't land a hit at all—we stopped time and managed to resolve the problem without any fighting.

[ sort of ]

Oh, really? Did you get into a big courtroom style drama and OBJECTION it out?

[ maya does seem relieved that "she" didn't hurt any of them.... ]

[ Laughs. ]

No, like I said, we stopped time and were in and out before you even realized what had happened.

That musta looked cool.

[ it's ayam not maya wao ]

But at least you guys didn't have to duke it out or anything.....

I don't know. I think we looked pathetically desperate.

Geez, Mr. von Riegan... you're really down on yourself.

[ she's complimenting him for once?? ]

Am I? I meant that in a funny way. In any case, we survived.

[ nudges her ]

You don't need to worry.

I always need to worry about you. [ nudges him back ]

What else happened?

We had to put on disguises and trick this guy so that we could steal his airship. Which we did, but they caught us and forced us to crash.

That's where we faced off against Ayam and the others.

Stealing an airship...

[ maya would be down ]

So then you escaped, and came back? How did you guys get time freezing powers, anyway?

We found a couple of items that had various effects. Sieghart found a syringe with a lethal poison, I found a smoke bomb and Catra, a watch that stopped time.

And I wouldn't say we "came back". We just appeared here again.
