Vrenille tried and failed not to chew his lip in nervous discomfort about this part of the conversation and how it was going. It was obvious that he wasn't feeling very at ease.

First off, saying he worked with time made it all sound so grand. "It's really no big deal," he attempted rather lamely. "It's just...slowing things down and speeding them up a bit. Mostly I think it's probably to do with perception, you know? Like if I made everything around us feel like it was moving really slow, we would feel like we were moving really fast." He was back to worrying the cuff of his sleeve again until he caught himself and stopped. "Most of what I do is really just about perception--it's just illusions and stuff. ...And it's nothing to do with how I got here."

It didn't help all this one bit that he was struggling to understand what Remus was trying to tell him about his own area of specialty in magic. "Jinxes...are part of necromancy?" he tried, managing to sound a lot like a student trying to give an answer in class to a question he completely didn't understand.
