If that is what you struck that beast with, then yes. I won't ask you more about Time Craft, for now.
[Which isn't to say she's not still insatiably curious about it. But clearly, whatever timecrafting Loop is capable of is not entirely under their control. Obviously, that would be a subject to study, not to be taught! And anything else... she's simply not aware of yet.]
By which you mean Odile, yes? Hm, I thought her still wary of me. [But, well, Pure Vanilla Cookie had very much blabbed that it had been Odile of all people to drag the both of them to the clinic, which Timekeeper had been somewhat surprised to learn.
Her eye flicks to the side for a second.] I'd rather learn from you anyway, in all truth.
[Because she doesn't want to feel vulnerable in front of any more people if she can help it. Maybe it's a moot point by now anyway, with all that's happened, especially with Odile having already hauled her around half dead. But that doesn't mean it doesn't still twist her stomach, the thought of having to admit a weakness to yet another person.
She fought so hard to be this strong. Lost so much. It was supposed to be so that nothing was ever wrong again. Can't she keep that comforting mask up, keep pretending everything's under control, wherever she can? Hasn't she earned that much? Loop is an exception, a loophole (heh) who understands on a level she's sure no one else could. Timekeeper so desperately wants them to be the only one to hear this plea.]
