Delay in response possible?

Sorry for asking so much questions. I really try to look it up first.
Is it possible to build in a response time so that it looks like you are communicating with someone on a computer and you have to wait for that other person to finish the reply?

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/elements/timer.html
<timer name="NAME_OF_YOUR_TIMER">
// <attr name="enabled" type=boolean">true</attr> /> // true: if you want the Timer to start as enabled, otherwise (false: if you want to control enable/not-enabled) then don't have this Boolean Attribute set to true
<attr name="interval" type="int">0</attr> // you can have whatever Value (change the zero), as your seconds interval (for example 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, ... seconds)
<attr name="script" type="script">
// your scripting/action(s)
// if you only want an action to occur once, then you'll need to set your interval value directly to that desired interval, and then disable the timer after your action(s), see below:
// DisableTimer (NAME_OF_YOUR_TIMER)
</attr>
</timer>
