Susan had been watching Simon fairly closely and could almost hear what he was thinking as his words sputtered to a stop. "Another stubborn one, aren't you. Remember what I said before about neither of us being crazy?"
She reached out and took a hold of Simon's arm in a firm grasp with one hand and snapped the fingers of her other, stopping time around the two of them. Of course time never really stopped, but it removed Simon and her from the flow and everything around them seemed to come to a complete stop. "Sometimes its just easier to show than to tell," she said to Simon. "Stay where I can touch you."
"I would guess that you come from a place with no magic at all, rather than just being without it yourself. It is quite common in my universe." She reached into that Place where she kept her umbrella and pulled it out, popping it open as she moved it over their heads. "Take hold of the handle and I'll fly us to the Welcome Center."
