"All right." She shoved another forkful into her mouth. She was in her nightgown, mascara smudged under her eyes, freckles like stars against her pale skin.

He finished up. He went to get a book for time stopping
Nyx went up into her room, showered, and put on fresh makeup, a white tank top, and jean shorts.
He turned to the exact page
Nyx came back downstairs. "Vozreal? Where did you go?"
He was in the library.
Nyx came into the library and walked over to him.
"Ready?" He said, prepared
"Sure."
He seemingly teleported behind her in a literal jiffy. He stopped and resumed time.
"Sure about that?" He said to her, while he was behind her
Nyx, startled, let instinct take over; loading her right spur with venom, she stabbed his chest from behind and roundhouse-kicked him, grabbing his arm and twisting it behind him. When she realised it was just Vozreal, she relaxed and let him go, her cheeks burning. "Oh. Sorry. You startled me. Don't do that!" Then she realised that she had stabbed him. "Oh - are you all right?"
It healed very fast in front of her eyes
She sighed, relieved. "Good. I'm sorry, it's just - instinct."
"It's okay." He did it again, this time appearing in front of her
She scowled at him. "It's almost like you want me to stab you again."
He smiled.
"Maybe."
Her eyebrows furrowed, but she said nothing.
"Anyways… let's start. So basically…" He started teaching her how to stop time. It consisted of saying "Temporal shift" to stop it, and "Temporal Restoration" To resume time. But you had to say it with force.
Nyx felt awkward and silly doing it, but kept trying. Eventually, she managed to stop time.
"Temporal Restoration!" she said, but nothing happened.
"Temporal Restoration!"
Nothing.
She tried again. And again. And again, but everything remained frozen.
Don't panic, Nyx.
She grabbed the hem of Vozreal's suit jacket, hoping that would help.
"Temporal Restoration."
Nothing.
"Temporal Restoration!"
Nothing.
"Temporal Restoration!"
Time unfroze, and she let out a relieved sigh.
"So… how was it??" He asked
"Scary." Her mouth trembled slightly.
"Don't worry… it'll be less scary the more you do it."
"Good." I'm not so sure about that.
"Believe me, when I tried it the first time, I was absolutely terrified, but then I did it. Again, and again, and again."
"So… practise makes perfect."
