Doc takes the watch, holds it at arm's length and squints a bit like the old man he claims to be, watching it move.
"If it is of no use to you, why are you keeping it on your person?" Doc flips the watch around to see if there is anything engraved on the back. Sure enough, when he flips it back over, more than mere seconds had just passed according to the faulty timepiece. How bizarre. He holds the watch back out to Five.
"Anything strange ever happen to you while you have been here? I would not claim to understand how your... moving around works, but. Have you ever tried to move from one place to another but ended up skipping through some time instead?" It would be difficult to tell without a working clock but Five could have tried to blink into the adjacent room and ended up covered in dust not seeing whoever he was expecting to see there, or meeting the original inhabitants of the town by accident or something.
"Would there not be other consequences to the desynchronising of time, not solely evidenced by the clock? Would the- bread not go mouldy or the milk not spoil at random intervals? Should some of us not be experiencing some physical changes if months or years are passing in a matter of seconds?"
