"Positively amazing," Verlin said after the ginger haired Yank gave his commentary on time differential. George, naturally, was looking at the young man in a vaguely confused fashion, so Verlin hurriedly explained. "Apparently, this is a time bubble within a time bubble. Time is moving more quickly here than it is on the other side, as can be seen if you study your companions.
"This type of technology or even magic in the wrong hands could be dangerous," Verlin concluded.
"It already is in the wrong hands," George told him. "And it's dangerous."
With an exasperated sigh, Verlin turned his attention from the Reaper to the invisible barrier behind them. He peered closely, looking at the unmoving visages of those on the other side, "Fascinating."
George's yelp of pain drew his attention momentarily.
"I told you that it would hurt too much. If it had been that easy, do you think I would be sitting around on my ass waiting?" Mr. Damon remarked in that far too-smug, unprofessional 'I told you so,' cadence that the young and annoying were fond of. It was quite the contrast to the man being able to string together words like 'time differential.' "I'm sure it has something to do with the temporal field that's holding us here. Time's moving faster for us, so passing through the field is easy – we're moving forward. Going back is different, it requires your body to slow down, while part of your body is still moving rapidly ahead. It might even be a fail safe or a protective device."
"Well, it sucks," George declared.
Verlin returned to his study of the invisible barrier.
