[ That touch changes the game at once and Molly pulls back. Normally he would just have been happy to show off even more, but all this Lucien shit had really fucked him up about those eyes. ]
No mystery there. Just a remnant of something long gone.
[ He brushes back his hair, stepping away from the drow. It means he loses, but so be it. ]
[ Essek doesn't pursue, though the reaction is a little unexpected, given the theme of their little game. It does get Molly to give him some more space, which isn't unwelcome. He makes a note to ask Caleb about it later. ]
I see.
[ He glances briefly out towards the others, involved in their own conversations. ] You arrived here with Fjord, yes? Although you seem to remember different things.
[ The tiefling is a little prickly both over losing and about his own stupid reaction, but Essek changes the topic, and he can pay better attention to that rather than sulking. ]
Yes. It's... strange. He's from a time that's over nine months in the future for me. He's gone through all these things I don't even understand. Caleb, too.
Hmm. [ Essek looks genuinely thoughtful, the tip of a finger tapping idly at his lip as he thinks. Wherever they are, whatever plane or dimension, it seems to be held apart from the passage of time on Exandria. The months between Molly and Fjord and Caleb are much more difficult to explain the mere weeks' difference Essek has with them. What had happened to Molly in the interim? And then Beauregard...he hasn't yet determined what she remembers, but that could throw a wrench into any of his burgeoning theories. ]
In order to alter time, one has to have considerable power. Usually, the past is immutable...however it seems the Augur has done almost everything else but that.

Sounds more and more likely that they're some kind of god. I mean... when I first got here, Fjord didn't think I was real. It had been that long.
[ To be fair, he didn't think Fjord was real either, but we're skipping that one. ]
Either way, it's fucking confusing.
