It was odd how much things varied from world to world. Domains like time and space were so utterly vast that they comprised whole dimensions and made up the fabric of reality. They were concepts, and at the same time, concrete things. Only the Trinity themselves could manipulate the buildings blocks of reality without the right kind of theonite, and even that idea was laughable. But this girl treated her power so lightly, as if the ability to manipulate such a fundamental aspect of reality was nothing special. Double didn't know whether to be impressed or infuriated.
Whatever the case, it was better to play the nun for the moment. A foe who could stop time would be a tricky opponent indeed. Wasting it on something like saving a caterpillar, however...
"The differences between worlds is truly impressive," said Double. "To see that a divine power in my world is so... unimpressive in yours. It can be difficult to adapt, sometimes."
She feigned a sigh, dragging her fingers along her cheek. "To be in a world where so many have extraordinary abilities without having any of my own is difficult sometimes." A shrug, and Double's frown vanished, replaced by her favored smile. "Thankfully, nuns seem to be common to most worlds, as is their role of non-violence. Thankfully, I was able to find employment in a church. It's over in Sector oo2, which wasn't my first choice of setting. But beggars cannot be choosers, you know."
Thankfully, in a city of this size, Double found it fairly easy to keep her identity a secret. And people seemed to always lower their guard around a nun, because when were they not trustworthy? Despite the differences between worlds, it was nice to find some things never changed.
Double gave a little laugh. "As nice as it would be to believe that, I think the scientists hold sway over the cycles of nature as well. Were you here for the ice age they implemented? I find it hard to believe they could not arrange the seasons in an order of their choosing if they wanted to. But I am thankful they do not."
Another laugh, and Double tilted her gaze down. Sakuya's clothes were rather familiar to her- the garments of a maid, which were Marie's preferred clothing. "Are you a maid, then? I don't mean to assume, but that is a maid's uniform, is it not? There is a girl in my care who wears similar clothing, though..." She trailed off, not finishing that thought. "Do you do it out of choice or necessity?" she said, picking her head back up.
