"You just went full Matrix there!"

"That was definitely magic," Kero says from the bag.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"The way you just grabbed that! It was super fast!"

"... The hell? I just reached down and caught it, it wasn't anything special. Are you sure?"

"No I'm ducking with you. Yes I'm sure!"

"I... Why would it choose now to happen? Seriously?" he asks rhetorically. "Or have I secretly been doing superspeed for years, but only ever in response to dropped objects?" he laughs.

"That's possible."

"Seriously? Maybe it's just me then. Maybe the magic was like 'well, we'll be nice', and I somehow screwed it over along the way. It seems like I'm just messing everything up."

"Aw no, you're not messing everything up! You did great with the Change over there, and if the superspeed didn't really feel like anything you can't be blamed for not noticing it."

"And capturing Fly using only Windy was good too! You're the cardcaptor."

"Thanks," he says a bit wryly. "Kero, can you check if there are any more active cards?"

He does!

"Nothing."

"Oh well. I suppose we can just go back to the field when Sadde's done, then."

Sadde's done! "This is turning into a more interesting day than I had expected."

"Yeah, me too. Finding out I have superspeed was nice, though. I wonder if I can just do it whenever."

"You could try?"

"Yeah, sure. Can you check? In case I don't notice it again."

Seeing as they're not yet at the field, it's still kinda crowded. He walks into a sidestreet and tries running faster than normal.

He, at least, doesn't notice anything different.

Then he gives Sadde something to throw, and tries catching that instead.

"Nope!"

He throws Theo a thing.

Theo runs to get in position, and then grabs it out of the air, seemingly much less smoothly than before. What just happened?

Shrug. "Maybe it's a mindset thing?"

Eh. He jogs back over to Sadde, moving weirdly, then continues on towards the field, not noticing anything amiss.

"You're sort of jerking as you move."

"What, like the speed thing?"

"Kinda like you're going fast and slow and normal in turn?"
