The Eternal Sanctum (Holy Knight Headquarters)

Joking conversation of the slightly sarcastic variety seemed par for the course among this trio. All present seemed to like the flexibility of words and the implied meanings of their less than direct references. Usagi found this pair to be very interestingly like hanging out with her bestfriend twice over. As for his forgotten word context, a bit of a jest would come from the silver-haired lass as well, "Oh don't worry about it. It happens to the best of us, Ai-aniki~" Usagi mentioned and Anais nodded her agreement. And while Anais truly had nothing to do with the goings on here... she did interject just a bit. At th end of it all, apparently the two girls deviation from the expected wasn't actually a problem. It was apparently a choice of theirs to change the pace of the lessons as the students on the receiving end of them. "Oh? That's... ah... good to know~" said Usagi who was experiencing a strange amount of sensation because of Anais and her elven ears. "I'm glad you're enjoying teaching, Shishou~" Anais mentioned in a rather sincere way, remembering one of their earlier conversations she was happy he was expanding and letting himself enjoy his work.

A little squeal would happen soon enough as mana met mana within Usagi's bosom causing a canceled vibration and a ripple. Oh... she was at their mercy now wasn't she. Interestingly she'd ended up sandwiched between the pair and now both were using her own devious preferences to their advantage. That pulse which cancelled her own would lead to Anais feeling it and understanding the timing. She looked to her mentor with a gently devious light playing in her eyes and continued. Her own pulses of mana working against his flexes and spreading the sensation through different points of Usagi's breasts. The girl between the pair was still moving her breasts but now she was moaning as she found herself at new mercy. Interesting. 'Oh she really is a terribly effective corruptive influence~' thought Usagi as her body began to reach towards the peak of a pleasurable sensation. Of course, that still active connection between her an Anais left the elafia with an echoing sensation a bit more concentrated in her smaller bosom. She was also moaning, but now wondering exactly what Usagi had done to her. "Oi, I never asked but what did you do to me, Usa-chan?" Anais finally managed as a whisper against the girl's ear as she sank her teeth so gently into the point at the tip. "Aah~ You know... just connected us to each other in a way that makes the sensation echo back and forth... you know, magic~" she summarized. Ah that made sense of why she'd felt like Mugen was taking advantage of her body earlier. And why she'd felt like she was masturbating and why she was still pulsing mana into Usagi's breasts even though it was making her own feel rather tingly. And now... Usagi would go back to work, her tongue flickering over the tip of Ailen when it emerged from between her breasts as she moved them up and down his shaft.

Even now, members of this trio were still joking about. Even within that, there were some moments of seriousness such as the genuine satisfaction of Anais. Ailen really had discovered that he enjoyed teaching. Much of it had little to do with teaching itself, but for that, the sexual deviance of these humans was to blame. He was to expect three more of such people, wasn't he? If they were all as intense, he needn't be worrying about any physical activity for a long time. Even if the other three were tame, Anais herself was sure to receive his attention quite a lot. Whether that was by his machinations or hers, well... that probably depended on the day at this point.

Before any of that became something to worry (or fantasize) about, Ailen would be experiencing the first true cooperation between mentor and apprentice... in the most unexpected way. She was sending her mana through Usagi's breasts, and therefore his groin. He responded in-kind by sending mana through from the other side. She then acted by adjusting her own pulses to elevate the harmony of ripples. Ailen lucked out; he no longer had to deal with the mana in Usagi's breasts due to pulsing his own outward. On the other hand, there was still the physical stimuli of her bosom and mouth to worry about. "If I didn't mention, this is well above expectation for both of you," he commented. Ah, but he wasn't the only one with something to say. Anais raised a question which prompted Usagi to reveal a certain truth. There was a confirmed connection between the two ─ one that had them sharing sensations. Ailen had been wondering what those strange reactions were, but he couldn't be sure until now. With that confirmation, he suddenly sported a devious grin. "Is that what's been happening? So if something happens to you, it happens to her as well? Interesting. . ." he said as if there was a plan working itself out in his mind.

There was quite a bit of humor left in a group of what some would see as friends at some point in the near or far future. Regardless, all members of this group could easily find themselves well within the confines of their own physical abilities without needed to overextend themselves. Deviant and devious as they were, Usagi and Anais both would easily find themselves teasing the man purposefully or even... accidentally.

Without this there was something else, Ailen felt the need to comment that this pair was well above expectation in case he'd skipped saying so. Both girls offered smiles though in very different ways. "Arigatou~" Usagi said and a similar statement was followed by Anais who managed to be a bit sheepish just the same. "What she said..." she murmured seeming to feel happy and relieved. Strangely, though she knew of her own chemistry with Ailen she didn't expect to fit in another so well. Beyond that point, she didn't expect to find a friend so respective to her actions. Ah, but there was more deviousness afoot. With Anais's own question Ailen had gained something of an understanding of what had been done by Usagi to Anais. A gentle upturn of her lips occurred as her tongue lashed out against him and she felt the pleasure being bounced back and forth between her body and that of the elafia. 'We're in danger!~' Anais's internal voice mentioned. "Yes, you are..." answered Usagi. "Ai-aniki it's a bit funner than that. It's a karma tether... anything that happens to me... she feels multiplied. Double plus one~" she teased. The rest of the application for such an ability was frightening, as it could have been geared towards a very different kind of reception, but... this was about fun and she was just testing it out. Anais was her friend and she had every intention of giving herself and the girl a good time, even if preferences became an issue. "You're so excessive~" Anais murmured while lick the side of the girl's neck her hands still vibrating with energy. "Demonic~" Usagi corrected. Her task would never end, but she found herself a bit curious about what Ailen would do with the information she'd given him... well she was sure it'd be worth it to see.

Something was said by Usagi, targeting Anais. Yes you are, she said. Ailen hadn't a clue what she was getting at, but could easily assume it had to do with her rather Mugen-esque ability to read people. More importantly, their synergy continued to show itself in grand fashion. The kind of ability Usagi mentioned was, in theory, not one he would expect to work two ways. Usagi herself said previously that sensations echoed to and fro between them. It made utmost sense for that sort of Skill to work in a single direction without showing any additional outward signs. He could have been wrong or underestimating the girl's ability, but that would perhaps be even more ridiculous.

Either way, he had some thoughts about the uses of this connection. Usagi called it a karma tether. The way it worked was rather convenient for his purposes, but what of the unusual differences between Usagi and Anais? He'd be the one to find out. "Double, plus one, you say? Hmph. That would be an interesting way to make a potion. But... if you have the right ingredients on hand..." No further words would be said. Instead, he reached out to the unoccupied side of Usagi's head. Two fingers began stroking her scalp in the precise location that would mark... Anais's beastlike ear. One had to figure out the more detailed functions of such magics. Certainly it was all just a study, which happened to add success to his distraction from Usagi's advances. . .

That warning was a thing which seemed to be on Ailen's mind and it was also on Anais's for different reasons. "Waah?! Did you have to confirm it?" she asked about her initial reading on the situation developing. "Still invasive..." Usagi stated as if it excused her behavior. A scoff would follow but Anais supposed this was nothing to worry about in truth. Usagi's skill seemed to have a few nuances yet to be fully identified by herself nor anyone else for that matter. In truth the full experimentation of the ability against or rather using someone she harmonized with was at least a background reason for committing the action. With an elf now thinking about it, she was sure to gain a bit of insight and with his devious mind it was bound to come with a bit of fun. What was more, it seemed he was content to study the uses of her tether so who was she to get in his way? Before any great testing would be done though... there was the movement of her chest, that strange vibration which made her loins tingle. Her own tongue still flickering over Ailen as she was content to let him do his experiments.

Those experiments apparently included commenting on the double plus one method and he likened it to a potential for potion making. This made Anais's mind wander, she had enough knowledge of potions now to understand at least a few potentials that could make it interesting. Perhaps... she could use it as a basis for her own potion one day... Well that wasn't really a thought anymore. Why? Because Ailen reached out to Usagi and rubbed against her scalp, it was a strange place to touch someone but it gave the girl shivers. It also made Anais moan just a bit. Apparently this tether as it appeared, accounted at least for placement if one could approximate it accurately enough... and it did indeed feel like her ear had been touched. In fact, those same beastlike ears flickered under the phantom attention. Just the same the echo of it made Usagi comment, between tongue lashings. "Two sets of ears and both of them are sensitive... how do you sleep?" she asked of the girl. "Fitfully, until day before yesterday..." she answered honestly, still she was biting her lip and her face was blushing. It was very strange to feel almost orgasmic from someone touching someone else... she didn't mind it though.

Ailen had only a single curiosity upon hearing what sort of ability Usagi used. Upon approximating the point on her head that would be ears for Anais, he managed to find an answer with ease. Usagi had little reaction... but hers was of little importance. What mattered here, was the sudden outburst of Anais. "Oh?" Ailen questioned curiously. His thumb swiped that same spot on Usagi's head multiple times as he noted the twitchy ear of Anais. "That's so interesting. I wonder what sort of limits there are. If I were just to..."

It seemed Ailen had a habit of stopping his sentences as well. What was to blame? Well, he was beginning a full tirade mentally, but even that would get nowhere. Usagi didn't seem very keen on letting him remain stable. Even during this personal experiment with Anais as subject, she hadn't let up on his manhood. Every few movements, he received a very sharp reminder in the form of quick tingles passing through. Ah, so his mana pulses couldn't completely save him. Though he'd been focusing on Anais for some time, he had little choice in shifting his attention to the silver-haired girl. He could definitely finish his idea with her behaving like that. "Ah, I suppose that could be a way to test it. I do have that lesson ready," he said, knowing there was a matter of seconds remaining now that he'd become conscious of those building tingles again. He'd throb and swell between the girl's breasts, but he seemed to be properly focusing on transferring knowledge this time. By his approximation, he'd need to think for only six seconds to deliver a lecture with zero hiccups this time. All she needed to know was the finer details of the White Hart and... a few other 'too similar' lore tidbits related to Qilin, and separately Kirin and a few other similar creatures.

There was a curious questioning of the outburst caused by Ailen's experiment. Usagi for her part in this, could see the turning of the gears in the elf's mind as it concerned his ability to properly affect the actions of his apprentice. "Limits?" she questioned that idea. As if she'd purposefully create an ability that had hard limits beyond whatever she could imagine. Ah well, it seemed the man wasn't planning to finish his sentence... he did that quite a lot... actually Miko was also prone to half-finishing sentences and just carrying on with whatever actions she was thinking about. More swipes of his thumb against that spot on the side of Usagi's head would lead to the elafia clutching the girl before her and squirming just a bit.

Ailen apparently wished to test something else, and Usagi took it to mean her lesson would soon be ready. She kept up her work, shifting slightly to take the man into the depths of her throat instead of simply toying with him. Doing so had her eventually contentedly taking a spillage into her mouth and throat. Doing this and experiencing it pleasurably would have Anais feeling it much the same way. In fact, the elafia would feel an orgasm triggered by her throat for the first time as both of them found themselves moaning contentedly. At the same time, a great deal of information solidified in the mind of Usagi about the nature of her friend. 'Sou ka, you would end up being something like that without realizing it...' she said. Well, that was a good thing to know and keep track of especially while they were out on their adventure. She'd keep an eye on her friend. "Ara? She looks like she had a really good time~" mentioned Usagi who was content not to talk about what she'd gotten but she had received it. She even winked at Ailen in a slightly flirty way as she settled back against her friend who was experiencing the lessening of her aftershocks.

If he gained nothing else today, Ailen could at least say he successfully delivered one lesson on the first attempt. That was worth being satisfied, right? Certainly. Alas, any satisfaction he visually sported was borne of physical elation. He eventually released Usagi's head, and therefore ended the indirect molestation of Anais's ear. It seemed, though, that such a decision would make no difference. Both girls experienced a shift in mana that made their climaxes clear to the elf. How strange; it wasn't long ago that Anais seemed baffled by the idea of experiencing orgasm from the actions of her mouth. Now, she'd done exactly that... via the throat of another person she happened to be connected to. The developments were unending.

"That does seem to be the case," Ailen agreed. He was taking a moment to catch his breath, but Anais was a very easy thing to notice at any given time. As such, he paid special attention to her state of being after the recent exchange. That wink from Usagi wouldn't go unnoticed, though. She seemed to be making some interesting developments of her own, and in fairness... he was meant to be enabling her next cycle transition. "I suppose I should focus, though. You've become attuned to my mana now. What aspect of the Earth cycle calls to you most?" he asked. Such was the way of the Myouou, and such would be the way of the Tenbu. Only Anais could gain everything from him. The others, such as Usagi herself, would only be capable of acquiring a limited amount of his general attribute. "Or are you keen to gamble? It could be focused, but I'm sure you understand that only she can receive the full benefits of my element."

Anais was having a minor mental crisis. 'Oh? We did it... indirectly but still that fucking rocked!' her internal self seemed quite satisfied with a development which had been blocked by a mental hang-up Anais had about sexual endeavors. 'I'm going to slut hell. I know it... every time something like this happens I can feel a step being taken towards slut hell!' the girl was mentally beating herself up while also having all the bodily sensations to just enjoy it. 'Worth it!' Sinais was about these sorts of developments and it would be Usagi who had words to share with the lass. "Well, if you go I'll go too. If we go together... it's a victory lap, not a walk of shame, Mi-chan~" Usagi gave this girl the information and it made her stop panicking for a second. Soon after there was only warmth in her chest. 'Kaguya-senpai!~' she was almost crying in her head. 'Woohoo! We got permission to add her to the list. We're taking her with us. Slut Hell Parade!' Oh well... it seemed some parts of Anais were perfectly fine with her random activities. Such a thing would only cause giggles from Usagi. Her friend really did need a bit more affirmation in her life.

Moving on, Usagi was left to consider what aspects of Ailen's cycle of Earth she wished to take. There were many openings given her start as Mugen's apprentice. It left her with way more flexibility than most would get. Even so... she had a few things to consider. What kind of being she wanted to be, what kind of powers she wanted to abuse from this from and the others before it. "Can I get nature... in a general sense? I can... make that work even if the specifics are a bit of a gamble. Also if it isn't too much trouble, elf naming conventions... I wouldn't want to choose something odd," she mentioned seeming to already have some idea of what she wanted at least out of a physical form of a new Avatar, but the powers would need a bit more time. "And yes, I fully understand~ I'm sure she'll be full of all kinds of things eventually~" she teased the other girl just a bit but found it to be worthwhile to see that gentle redness on her face. Well, her base personality wouldn't be changing very much at all. It also hadn't gone unnoticed that Ailen had special eyes for his apprentice... it was very sweet to notice and she could be nothing but happy for her friend. Harem life with acceptance was oddly conducive to healthy feelings she couldn't have had in her previous life.

One more thing was addressed, and it was once again an exchange that started in Anais's mind. Ailen heard Usagi's response while having no context for what she was saying. There was something about 'going together' on a victory lap, rather than a walk of shame. What could that have possibly meant? Perhaps he'd never know. "It's been a long time since I heard only half a conversation," he mused.

Whether he was informed or not, Ailen wondered primarily what the desires of Usagi were. Would she choose anything at all, or would she leave it to circumstance? The answer, interestingly enough, came quickly and directly. She sought nature, in a 'general sense' as she put it. Ailen took a moment to think about that. There were some elves who aligned more naturally with the world itself, capable of calling upon its power without spells, runes or glyphs. As the Myouou aligned to Earth, he could provide that sort of thing well enough to let her cultivate it. "Hmm. That is possible, yes. I can facilitate that," he agreed. Usagi went on to prod at Anais, and possibly Ailen himself, once more. She was sure the elafia would soon be full of 'all kinds' of things. What an interesting way to put it. "Well, I suppose there is that. But... that is the point, isn't it?" he said coyly. "It may even be very soon that she finds herself full of... benefits, I might say."
