[Byleth paused his careful excavation of the cake at Claude's question, and looked at him, blinking slowly.]
...you weren't aware?
[He had assumed Claude would've known, since he knew about Sitri and Sothis and everything else. On the ranking system, the temporal powers were pretty low on what Byleth considered private or difficult to talk about. Well, it was difficult to talk about, but more in terms of having people believe him, rather than it being emotionally difficult.]
Sothis has the ability to manipulate time as she fits. As her vessel, she has gifted me with some of that power, though it's only a sliver of what she can achieve.
[She said she could reverse time, yet oddly barred that from Byleth's access. Not that he was complaining: being able to stop time whenever he pleased was just as advantageous.]
I can briefly exist outside of time. Usually, I use this to either cross distances instantaneously - a form of teleportation - or to kill my enemy whilst time is frozen for them. Here, however, that power is greatly diminished. I can only stop time for a handful of seconds, and it takes minutes for me to be able to do it again - whereas before I only required half a minute's pause, if that.
