'I eets ur hed' - Wild Roses, Sascha & her mother taennyn January 19 2009, 18:44:57 UTC
She watched the stuffed toy--stitched back together in contrasting thread in places--fly across the room, followed at an easy lope by her daughter.

She reached out, tweaked a line of power, watched her daughter growl and corner quickly, pursued the toy along its new course. Folding her arms neatly into her sleeves, still jerking the toy along with her fingers, "Daughter mine?"

"EET UR HED!" her daughter announced, launching herself at her toy and proceeding to do just that, gnawing on the thing's head with every evidence of delight.

She extracted a hand from her sleeve to cover her face with it.

"Observe the cup, balanced precariously on the edge of the counter. Now, a timely intervention would be this." She reached out and pushed the cup away from the edge, the motion sending ripples through the tea inside it.

Replacing the cup at the edge, "An in time intervention would be this." She pushed it off the edge, then dropped her hand blurringly fast and caught the cup before it shattered on the floor. Tea sloshed against an invisible barrier above the edge of the cup, preventing it from spilling all over her hand and the floor.

"Timely interventions tend to take less effort than the just-in-time sort," she said, raising the cup to her mouth and sipping. "Although both are the be preferred to inaction. Questions?"

"What did you do to stop the tea spilling?"

She laughed, summoned a piece of paper from somewhere and spread it out. "The matrix is shaped so..."

:) They've got a neat relationship; he's very much her son, though neither of them would ever describe it that way.

"You didn't actually tie him to the--"

"Certainly not. That would be an abuse of my power and authority." *beat* "I helped."

"Wow, being omniscient would suck."

"Beg pardon?"

"Well, you know everything, right?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you process it?"
