The metaphor applied in another way, too. Her power operated on its own, doing its thing, and if she very casually noted what it was doing, without pushing it forward or holding it back, she could feel it doing something else.
Hmm.
As if it was ready to push away memories that didn’t relate to her, exactly. It never did.
Maybe we should keep Imp away from Miss Militia.
Any time it built up enough that it came close to doing anything, she noticed, and it retreated like a turtle pulling its head into its shell.
I suppose it’s possible that if it got the chance to do it – such as at a moment where Imp was thoroughly distracted – it might not specifically wipe out memories of the Dandelions (like I suspect it might be wanting to because of its apparent origins), but rather wipe out all memories, inflicting total retrograde amnesia on anyone it could hit. That would be nasty.
Frustrating. Her power didn’t do anything because she wanted it to. It worked only if she surrendered to it, let it act on its own. Pushing it to work harder had the opposite effect.
This is a very interesting power.
Much moreso than any other power we’ve seen, this one seems to have a sort of mind of its own. A stubborn, rebellious one.
Heh, I suppose that too kind of reflects Aisha.
