The Eternal Sanctum (Holy Knight Headquarters)

While Anais got over her aversion to a climax caused by service and what it meant for her understanding of 'slut' as a negative term... Ailen only heard Usagi's reply to the girl's very self-deprecating musings. Usagi could give the man clarification on exactly the way Anais was struggling to understand herself, but didn't feel like sharing the girls thoughts when she wasn't willing to do so herself was a good idea either. She'd come around in her own time. "It was just a little girl talk. Though you might have to get used to it... I resonate with her on a fundamental level... I can hear a lot of things she thinks and some of them need adjusting~" she mused. Her friend needed support but also encouragement from time to time. Miko was more innocent than most in the friend group but also one of the more prone to manic thoughts and a touch of charming immaturity. In response to this, Anais's cheeks puffed out in a pouting manner, which Usagi could see from how she was being held but she could tell by the tone in her voice how she looked, "You didn't have to say it like that... Adjusting is hard when you have a lot going on," she said seemingly lamenting. "Artists feelings... so strong and yet so fragile. YOLO... even it if it isn't true anymore~" Usagi said in a manner most direct, she didn't go into full details, but she figured she'd develop better methods of giving advice in the future.

But now they were in the present, and Anais decided that her advice while wholly irresponsible in their former lives, had much more legitimacy in these. Perhaps, she'd stop thinking of herself as cursed to hell someday... and instead embrace her eccentricities? She seemed to be moving towards such a thought pattern as Ailen and Usagi flirted over her potential new lesson. The naked pointy-eared girl was still pulled against her form having a casual discussion as if it was perfectly reasonable. At least part of it was about her and the things inside her. Regardless Ailen could give the girl what she was looking for, "Good good... I am feeling like this one will be really interesting~" she said thinking of her future as some kind of natural elf being. Still before then there was fun to have, after prodding at Anais, Ailen would be the one to respond. He had something rather coy to say which made Anais's eyes shift towards him as a blush came to her face. 'We do like benefits,' she thought which made Usagi chuckle. "Could have said that one aloud, it would have been flirty~" mentioned the older girl. That was pretty direct for him, and fairly direct for her though she hadn't said anything aloud. It made several ideas pop into Anais's head about facilitating this lesson while also still satisfying the urge she had to well, be satisfied by her mentor. "Oh and don't forget you owe me music lessons~" she mentioned to Anais which made the elafia's eyes shift. She needed music lessons and a lesson in nature from Anais's mentor... And Anais wanted to be involved with the sex from a point of it being fun for both of them. Positioning would be key to enjoyment in this case... her mind began to wander just as a certain Sinais, popped open a box in her brain's storage labeled NSFW... which strangely contained, a lot of information about threesome positions. 'Oh! We could do this! Looking at it! Soft boobs against soft boobs and everyone can be involved. It's just hot!' her internal voice mentioned, all the while that gentle tapping her index fingers together.

Information regarding Anais's half of the conversation would not reach Ailen's ears this day. Though it was surely a shame, he wouldn't be too bothered by it. It seemed her strange inhibitions had gone nowhere just yet, but it had been only a couple of days since her life was changed. "I've no problems with secrecy. Though if the connection between you two is that strong, are you not able to converse entirely without words the way Tohsaka-san does? I believe you would find yourself being questioned far less if you weren't responding to things no one else could hear. It would be quite beneficial to scenarios like this, I think."

Ailen had a great deal of thinking to do. He dealt with plants and the like more often than anything else, but it had been ages since he applied knowledge in the way Usagi requested. For this, he'd have to look to his subconscious. "It should be interesting. It does infringe upon the territory of Dryads, though... it is also possible to surpass them by the same means. It's hard to say, really, and should be an interesting thing to observe for that exact reason. Thinking of the possibilities is exciting in its own right," he rambled. With that, Usagi said something else to the elafia ─ something about saying a would-be flirty thought aloud. He wouldn't bother prying on that either. No, Ailen's mind was already tracking two paths at once. One path led him toward unlocking memories necessary for Usagi, while the other... was the same deviant path he'd been on since Anais became his apprentice. "Hmm. Filling aside, I'd like to take a moment to address the actual benefits here. It can easily be said that nature is beneficial to both of you ─ one for evolution, and the other for the sake of becoming a better alchemist," he said, though the latter 'benefit' was primarily... another excuse that he wouldn't admit to.

Ailen took no issue with secrecy if the girls needed to speak to each other in ways which didn't involve him. He chose only to question if she was incapable of talking into his apprentice's brain directly instead of leaving herself open to being questioned about the things she was saying. Of course, Usagi gave it a bit of thought before she replied, assuming most knew of Mugen's abilities either directly or indirectly she gave a casual shrug from her place leaned against the other girl. "Well, hearing those things is kind of incidental... speaking directly to her seems like something I shouldn't do without invitation," she said giving a firm nod. That was a bit of her remaining human logic, like how she once wouldn't text the other girl outside of their group chat because she'd not been given her phone number directly. Anais's eyes closed and she exhaled. "Baka! The group chat excuse doesn't work here, it didn't work then either by the way. You literally karma tied our bodies and souls together... and you draw the line of propriety at speaking directly! As if you need an invitation to be invasive!" Anais ranted, and the bullying would start again by a gentle bit of tugging on the girl's ears. 'How you manage to not have common sense, while being so good-willed to me, I will never understand...' she thought as he punished this lass's ears making her squirm in not necessarily a painful way. Though it was accompanied by a warm set of thoughts remembering such moments with her friend seemed to open her up quite a bit. 'Sou ka~ Thanks for having me~' the other girl whispered in her mind causing both girls to burst into laughter soon after, clearing up their 'issue' in a matter of a few short seconds and moving on.

There were other matters to attend to, like Usagi's next evolution and the benefits which could be applied to learning this 'Natural' path the way she wanted to learn it. Interestingly enough, Ailen did indeed want to deliver his lesson, but he also wanted to fornicate with his own apprentice. He had a pretense for doing so, which seemed to revolve around the idea of giving both girls the lesson. Anais for her part, fell right into it, while not having to mention that she was already on the same path of thinking. "Well, I would like to become a better alchemist. I thought a little while ago that I've given no real thoughts to my potion making so maybe it will work as a bit of inspiration. It's a great idea, Shishou~" she said while continuing to tap her fingers. Would that position she was interested in work though?

'Hell yeah it will work. Tell her the plan let her help the Slut Parade~' her mind chimed words which made a devious little smirk appear on Usagi's face. 'Well, I heard that... so what is it? You got a threesome position we can use to ruin your shishou's life?' asked Usagi giving extra emphasis to the petname Anais had chosen for Ailen. 'Yeah, but it's kinda hard to explain, let me just show you~' Anais mentioned, which made her internal self cackle manically. She'd wanted to makeout with the girl, giving her the images of the action was the perfect pretense. And so it would begin, with Usagi leaning her head back and Anais pressing her lips against the other girl. It would take only a second or two for her to progress a little and slide her tongue into the other girls' mouth. With it an image of a sex position with the two of them laid down and Ailen being given access to both of them from his position. In her vision they'd make out and she'd give her the music lesson she claimed to want in addition to teasing her mentor with the three-way. 'I get to be on top!' that was Usagi's demand but she'd agree to the rest. "Hai!~" mentioned Anais, and now both of them were plotting something and their kiss broke and their eyes traveled to Ailen.

Usagi offered a counter to Ailen's suggestion, strange though it was. It sounded just like a demon trying at normal concepts of fairness. Could one truly believe speaking directly to someone's soul was invasive while reading so deep as their innermost thoughts? "That seems rather inconsistent," Ailen blabbered, and it seemed Anais shared that opinion. There was a period of silence after those responses, and body language shared between the two gave Ailen reason to believe a discussion of sorts followed. Sometimes, these matters were much easier to resolve. The pair had a harmony similar to a certain way Ailen himself interacted with Usagi's mentor, though... in a very different way.

One more thing was agreed upon between Anais and her mentor. She sought inspiration for the potion she'd yet to think much about. Ah yes, she would have to address that eventually. One could not be an alchemist's apprentice without creating something of their own ─ certainly not by elf standards. Besides, their fun had been interrupted the previous day. Ailen hadn't forgotten that very important fact. "Then I'll be sure to teach, as a mentor should. I'd be remiss to not grant my own apprentice all the necessary tools for success. What sort of teacher would I be if I did anything else?" he mused.

Just then, the pair of girls became entangled by the mouths. The exact reason was a mystery to Ailen, but there was recently mention of music lessons that could be assumed. The girls met in such a way for a while, as one might expect. Ah, but something strange happened at the end. Once their tongues and lips were separated, they were both looking in Ailen's direction. The elf had been silently watching their mana transfer while thinking over the immediate future. Now though, there was cause for curiosity. 'Hm? That's an interesting look. Am I in danger?'

It seemed that though the context wasn't completely clear, Ailen also found flaws with the logic presented by Usagi about her lack of quiet conversation between them. Ah... well, they made peace with each other rather quickly and now had more freedom to plot against Anais's mentor, for better or for worse. In this case Usagi could only comment absently... "In my defense, I wouldn't have known I was welcome if no one said..." she mentioned after recovering. "I think I am going to call that... demon logic~" Anais said seeming to understand some likeness between Usagi and her mentor given the way they both behaved. Actually, Mugen had also mentioned he thought Anais had been trying to get rid of him, when she'd accidentally summoned him.

Moving on, it seemed that Ailen was able to confirm his desire to teach both girls this aspect of nature which Usagi wanted for her evolution. He claimed to not know what kind of teacher he would be if he didn't grant Anais the necessary tools for her success. "Hai hai, I'm sure you'll do your best. I'll be sure to do mine too~" Anais said all the while Usagi watched these two with a bemused expression. She found their interactions cute. They justified actions she would have simply taken, but they seemed to feed their deviance in such a way. It truly was a scandalous student/teacher relationship, but it was also... oddly wholesome. Though at the same time, given the way Anais's mind worked the elf's life was likely to fall apart around this lesson, oh well... breaks were good for people.

Speaking of, a small intermission occurred which likely seemed like the lesson owed to Usagi. It was not. Instead, both girls were plotting Ailen's demise. At the end of it, the elf had their full attention and he seemed a bit skittish under the scrutiny. At the very least, he seemed to realize they were plotting at least. A smirk came across both girls faces as they looked at him, though he'd said nothing both had their own reasons to understand the question in his mind and heart. The two girls would slap their hands together deciding that the man was indeed in danger and it would be Usagi who stood, offering the elafia a hand up which she easily took. Once both girls were standing Usagi found herself plucking at the other girl's forest green lace thong. "We spent literal years trying to get you into lingerie and here you are, three hundred years later finally splurging on something cute~" Usagi mentioned, as she used her hands to slid them down the other girl's body, much to her general surprise, but Anais was having an internal screaming match about it. 'FUCKING HOT!~' Maybe it was simply an effect of demons, maybe they made normal things hotter than they needed to be? Regardless, once the girl had joined the ranks of the fully disrobed they'd be found moving towards the bed and given it was being made a spectacle of, assuming they'd be watched. Actually, Usagi was betting on it, given Ailen's obvious obsession with Anais. She'd done all those soft movements to remove the other girl's undergarments and even drawn further attention to her by stripping her in front of him. If they were still being watched, she'd lead the elafia over to bed laying Anais on her back towards the center and moving to occupy her place atop her. Ah, but the most important part of this set up was yet to come.

Demon logic was yet another thing he and Anais agreed on. In fact, he had only just had the thought moments before Anais vocalized it. "Agreed. Very demonic," he said aloud. He'd known very few individuals who aligned with demonkind, but there was one shared trait among them: a very strange approach to worldly matters. Even the mortals of Gaia didn't compare to the oddities of their ilk, from what he'd witnessed thus far.

Alas, none of that mattered in the long-run. There was a rather concerning expression shared between Anais and Usagi. Both were focused on him for a time, until... Usagi decided to focus on Anais instead. In doing so, she peeled away the other girl's undergarments. Ailen once again found it strangely erotic to see clothes taken off in a non-magical manner, and stranger still how much better it was to watch now. Could another person stripping that article so brazenly have such an effect? Obviously, it could. "Hmm," he murmured during observation. That entire scene appeared to be intended by Usagi as a thing he watched, and watch, he would still. The girls were on the move within moments. Usagi had them both moved toward the bed's center, where she placed the elafia on her back. She then seemed to be climbing atop the lass, which Ailen had some assumptions about moving forward. Would he be correct? Time would tell. Already though, he was standing and turning to gaze upon this turn of events more directly. What sort of thing was being done here? More importantly, which one was his groin most likely to lead him to? That, perhaps, was the greatest mystery yet. "This has all the makings of something I am to simply observe. Any further, and it may be difficult to avoid that exact outcome," he mused.

It seemed that both Ailen and Anais thought that Usagi's logic was demonic in nature. She found it to be a bit amusing to think about, since she was aware that she had just thoughts and such a nature to begin with. Even so, it would make sense if she was aligned as such even before finding herself in this world, it wasn't actually a problem regardless of how she thought about it. "Well, I suppose that is accurate enough~" mentioned Usagi. She knew it would likely be how Anais explained away or pointed out her inconsistencies from this point forward. But what was a friendship without an inside joke or reference?

Moving on, the start of this tease seemed to do what was intended. Without much work needing to be done, Ailen had moved to be in the best place to view what was left to be shown. She'd also done a pretty good job of getting Anais wound up as she held herself up with her arms while hovering over her. Their skin gently brushed against each other and she nudged the other girl's legs apart. Every movement done for the benefit of being viewed from the angle behind them. 'Knees up, Mi-chan~' Usagi mentioned as Anais found herself complying with her desires directly Both her knees lifted at an angle opening her legs wide enough for Usagi's knees to occupy the space between them. From this precise angle she was currently blocking the line of sight but she wouldn't leave it that way... she'd also comment on Ailen's observations.

"I think you're wrong about just watching Ai-aniki. I did offer to show you what I'm best at, but neither of us would exclude you~" she mentioned happily. All the while she was supporting her upper body against Anais, lifting her lower half like a gymnast balancing on her elbows and centering her body. She allowed her tongue to travel up Anais's stomach from her navel and that slow motion revealed the elafia's glistening sex to his vision. Only after that movement would her legs which had been straight up in the air split straight to either side of her body and then lowered until her legs were extended in a full split and resting atop Anais's knees. Only after a second or two of looking in the other girl's face did she slide her legs forward just a bit, still lowering herself until both girls were left with their slick sexes exposed to the elf. And Usagi's long legs stayed within their split on the other side of Anais's thighs out of the way and leaving Ailen plenty of room to chose where he'd go as Usagi smiled at the girl in front of her knowingly. With their bodies aligned the way they were, every little squirm sent a jolt of sensation through both of their bodies, and both would moan gently. There was plenty of space for him to fit, and plenty of action he could take, it would leave both girls in a bit of an anticipatory state, wondering how he would choose to join them but knowing it would be rather easy for all three of them to interact in this way.

As Ailen wondered what would be unfolding before him, the answer was made clear. Legs. Legs were unfolding ─ particularly those of Anais. Even with Usagi in the way, Ailen bore witness to the elafia's limbs spreading to either side as if her friend had a method of penetration ready to claim her. Usagi had also claimed she'd be showing what she was best at. What could that possibly be? Well, he'd soon find that out as well. It would certainly be beyond expectation. What he saw first was the elevation of Usagi's body, though her upper torso did not move. No, he could see her fore, upside-down as she hovered over Anais. It was baffling.

Ailen's eyes were drawn down momentarily, as Anais was there, legs spread and so clearly ready for copulation. That alone would have drawn him in, but his attention would be robbed once more. It wasn't enough for Usagi to balance in such a way; she spread her own legs as well. Actually, spread wasn't a powerful enough word for the action. The thing she claimed to be best at must have been contortionism of some sort, as she had a leg moving outward to either side of her body, until... her body lowered again. What Ailen witnessed within moments was a shimmering pair of lips so close to one another, Anais's separated legs and Usagi's plump rear. Madness, he thought. "Ah... I see─" was all he could say. Was he now meant to choose? The elf was instinctively moving closer to the pair, a firm rod pulsing madly as if attracted by magnetism and leading the charge. His gaze was fixed, but upon whom? Perhaps the answer was a strange one. Upon reaching the pair, his hands clasped Usagi's rear as if to brace for insertion... but his manhood had different plans. Indeed, it was both girls whose folds would feel the initial rub of his girth as he slid between them. All things considered, he simply couldn't make a decision. The logical answer was to immediately begin Usagi's transition into the next cycle, but logic was often thrown to the wind between Ailen and his apprentice, right?

The legs unfolding before Ailen and the show of pure physical ability from Usagi were all very interesting to see. Even Anais from her place beneath was left to marvel at the sight. She'd also had her belly licked by the other lass in quite the teasing manner. It was as if she'd intended to tease both of these people and she'd succeeded in a very direct way. By the time she'd properly lowered herself against the other girl and began rubbing their bodies together, Anais only had an exasperated sigh to give the girl... "Show off..." she commented in a good natured way. "But you love me~" she claimed as if it was the most natural thing to do, while pecking Anais's lips and the elafia didn't deny loving her friend. Meanwhile, both girls were left with strange anticipation what would Ailen do.

A peek around Usagi and Anais knew the elf was somewhat stricken. It had to be a bit overwhelming for him. She didn't envy him his choices in this moment and knew that she alone seemed to cause great pauses in thought. The addition of another might be a bit too much for him. 'No such thing! If he chooses wrong we break him♥~' her internal voice seemed quite certain of this, but what choice would actually be made? 'You might have to break him then. These hands are huge and comforting... I think I get it~' Usagi almost purred as she found hands bracing against her hips. This entire scenario was almost too much to bear, and there was no penetration involved. It didn't help that Anais was currently paying her back for that little tongue manuever earlier with a very firm line traced up to her collar bones. If Usagi didn't know any better, she would have assumed the girl was always looking for an excuse to be intimate with her. And now was just as good a time as any, but where was Ailen besides his hands?

Well... there was rubbing. Quite literally, Ailen sandwiched himself between both girls' folds and rubbed against their sex. He added to stimulation they were already giving each other and teased them with the promise of girth he wasn't delivering. Well, neither would be allowing him much reprieve if this was what he chose. Both sets of those hips seemed to seek the other and with him sandwiched between them, their gentle grinding would include him. They seemed content to wet his member and stroke themselves against him while seeking the sensation such a thing caused. In fact their movements were echoing against each other, encouraging a harmonious movement between them, one up and one down in alternating shifts. Just the same if Ailen's hands on her hips were something which was pleasing as a sensation, Anais's inching up around the back of her neck and along her spine was also encouraging. Was Usagi really the one in danger? It was at least a consideration.

If Usagi happened to be showing off as Anais claimed, she had an excellent sense for timing. She was certainly a thing of the Void inside, and currently being in the shell borne of a Celestial made things worse. There was something about that aura ─ something inexplicable when purpose was applied to activity. "If showing off is the mark, execution is nigh unparalleled," he mumbled as if speaking only to himself. Admittedly, he was a bit transfixed by the silver-haired girl's behavior ─ certainly more so than he could have ever expected.

Too much was indeed a possibility for the elf. Of course, there was nothing inherently wrong with a bit of excess every now and again. If one thought to 'break' him in whatever way that meant, it may have been a bit too late. If the actions of Usagi weren't enough to cause ruin in some way, the follow-up to his first maneuver would do the trick. As he slid his way between the two, there was a slick friction applied on both fronts to his tool. That focused grinding on either side was a danger to his wellbeing, surely. Feeling two synchronized yet separate sources of pleasure was one thing, but what he saw was another. From his current position, it was naturally Usagi whose body he had the best view of ─ and what a view it was. How could one resist the temptation? "Interesting. I was having a surprisingly difficult time making a decision, but..." A decision had been made. A few thrusts were made between the girls' folds, as he had finally discovered what Mugen found so pleasant when first meeting Anais. Once he had an understanding of the pleasure, however, the next thrust heralded a full retreat... mostly. His tip would be found following its natural upward curve between the lips of Usagi, and a slight forward movement would have him at her entrance. How could he have made any other decision when her arse was staring him in the face so confidently? He couldn't. As such, Ailen firmed his grip on the girl's backside and worked toward infiltrating her canal, slowly but surely. "I suppose this was always the more logical choice. First lessons are very important."
