"Ah -- the pantry shelves have a time-slowing enchantment. Any food that is set on them will take a very long time to spoil", Val said.

"Oh!", Adrien exclaimed. "That's brilliant". He thought about this for a few seconds; then his brow furrowed. "Though, wait -- is there a reason why you put time-slowing, and not time-stopping?".

A cheeky smile appeared on Val's face. "Yes: the fact that there is no time-stopping enchantment".

"No?", Adrien said, cocking his head. "I thought I had read about that".

"Anyone who says to have developed a time-stopping enchantment is either mistaken, or a fraud", Val said as he put his head inside the oven to check how clean it was. "You can't stop time".
