Time stares for a second before his grin suddenly drops.

“Look, Cap, you don’t have to lie to me. I understand that you’re most likely… upset.” He says quietly as he fidgets with his sleeves.

As Cap falls asleep once more their unconscious mind brings them to a wide open field of golden wheat and grass. The trees in the distance are the colors of autumn but the wind is warm and gentle as if it’s summer.

Cap let out a small huff as what could only have been described as a nightmare morphed and shifted until it transformed into something much kinder. Their new surroundings didn't push colors and smells and sounds into their face until they felt like vomiting and the restrictive leather band that was strapped around their neck had disappeared. This was a nice dream indeed.

Time’s grin shrinks slightly as a hint of guilt flashes in her eyes. However they quickly hide the guilt away as they try to make their grin wider.

“And I’m glad to be back! Once again I apologize for my absence!” The god says as the owl, Citrus, flies from his hat back over to Cap’s shoulder.

Time grins and tilts his head at Cap’s reaction.

“Hello again! Sorry for bein’ gone for so long! XD broke the deal and so I was able to leave! However I believe I got distracted by something? Haha! And then Citrus wanted to go on an adventure and now here we are!” He say as Citrus lands on his hat, perched neatly on the antlers of his hat.

The owl makes a happy chirr noise as it leans into the head scratches, closing its eyes contently.

Suddenly there’s a familiar voice coming from behind Cap.

“Well then! It seems Citrus made a new friend, hm?”

The owl tilts its head at Cap before flapping it wings once again, flying up to land on their shoulder. It lets out another little chirp, very gently nibbling on their ear and messing with their hair.

Cap can see a bird of some kind flying overhead, slowly circling as it flies lower and lower towards them. It looks kinda like a barn owl of some kind, albeit a much more golden color than the usual light brown it should be.

The owl lands on the ground in front of Cap and lets out a small chirp as it stares up at them with bright orange eyes.

No problem! And while I doubt you’ll be able to do much to help my situation, I do appreciate the thought!

[They look very uncomfortable at the mention of being dragged through the portal, but they nod.]

Cap won't get through the portal, don't worry. I'll- I'll keep a hold on them.

Thank you! Now, you two are traveling, yes? Then I probably should at least stop sitting around so that you can actually make some progress while I’m here! Haha!

*They gently remove Cap from their lap and stand up, twitching a few times as they brush dirt off of their suit.*

[tic-tok-goes-the-clock]

Oh! I actually met Cap while they were in XD’s clutches! They were trapped in a rather dreadful maze! XD initially allowed me in there to have some fun but then I ended up befriending Cap instead! It was a very interesting experience, really. Haha! You should’ve seen how pissed the green bean was when I snatched his “toy” right in front of him!

*She gestures wildly as she talks, even skipping instead of walking normally. The god seems to almost always be moving in some way.*

Oh joy! A little adventure! Onwards, then! I would love to see more of the overworld in my hour limit!

Of course! Although I can’t stay longer for an hour at most due to my… circumstances. I’ll be dragged through a portal by a chain back to that boring cage after the hour is up.

Oh, and could you make sure Cap doesn’t try to jump through the portal when that happens? They’ve done so twice already and have given me quite the scare! Thankfully I’m capable of teleporting them back where they came from but I’d rather them not do this when XD happens to be around.

Hey, Cap. It's morning... we haven't been found, but I had an... interesting night.

[Cedar is trying to gently nudge Cap awake, and they still sound very confused. They don't really understand what happened last night, and they stayed awake to finish reading the book.]

*they yawn and uncurl from their ball, stretching themselves out* h'nmm? oh.. Y-you- sh'ld have w-ken me.

[tic-tok-goes-the-clock]

*He smiles when Cap purrs, but he quickly puts his attention back on Cedar.*

Haha! That’s the bitch! I would do the same if I could! Unfortunately, if I do try anything like that then Cap here would be in danger once again! And I refuse to let that happen. But I-I’ll be fine! Only thing that’s happened so far is some silly illusions and isolation! I can handle that just fine!

*He gently scratches the top of Cap’s head as he talks*

*She blinks in surprise before grimacing, a hand subconsciously going up to tug at the collar. She starts to twitch slightly*

I assure you that I am perfectly fine! This collar is simply a… sacrifice that had to be made in order to keep my friend here safe from a certain green bitch of a god!

*She gently grabs Cap again and sits down on the ground with them in her lap. She quietly hugs them as the twitching gets worse.*

*He grins and gently places Cap down, giving their head a few pats before turning to face Cedar.*

I’m the God of Time, friend! I go by whatever name feels right at any given moment, really. And I know your name because my friend, Cap, mentioned you once or twice! It’s a pleasure to finally meet you!

*He does a playful little bow and Cedar can clearly see the orange collar around his neck.*

*Suddenly a tall figure appears out of nowhere and scoops Cap up in a hug*

Hello, darling! My little Cap! How are-

*They pause for a second when they notice Cedar*

Why hello there, stranger! You must be Cedar, correct?

And I doubt I’ll be the last! Haha!

Hello, darling! I-I reeeaaally hope I’m not late! Wait- I’m late aren’t I? Whoops! Haha! Didn’t mean to be late!

*He’s twitching slightly as he talks, smile looking a lot more forced than usual as he avoid direct eye contact. Something is wrong.*

- @tic-tok-goes-the-clock

Y-yeah its.. f-fine. you sk-skipped a day- where were yo-you? What ha-happened

[tic-tok-goes-the-clock]

*they relax slightly, although they’re still twitching occasionally and doesn’t try to hug you again*

Good! Because it seems you lack the self preservation skills that most mortals have!
