The Eternal Sanctum (Holy Knight Headquarters)

To both girls present it seemed as if Ailen was properly worn out from their early morning adventure. Even so he took a moment to get his breathing back under control before commenting, claiming to either be out of shape or old. "No way you're out of shape, I can't speak for old though. After finding out Charlie is 1000 and Mi-chan here is 300 I've decided I'm basically an infant," Usagi said with a careful shrug. "Definitely not out of shape. Though, it felt more comparable to actual physical training for me... a little shy of some of the more scary individuals I could take as a training partner but pretty high intensity, conditioning...." Anais murmured knowing it was likely a good answer for bringing oneself up to physical speed with the high aerobic activity that was sex with high libido human types. Ah but what was this... Ailen apparently had a fairly reasonable explanation for the undelivered lesson. According to him oral transfers were better for language and both girls could receive it that way. Anais and Usagi looked at each other. And though they had the ability to do so, neither girl physically or mentally communicated with the other. No, a simple look was shared between them, one which seemed to connect to girls across all of space and time in deviance and friendship. This elf, this husband of a goddess who was for all intents and purposes an upstanding citizen, had just given a logical explanation and a very clinical explanation for wanting to finish officially on their faces. This was peak deviance. The highest tier of breaking, to let him choose and justify his own dark desires. Hands were extended without a single word and both girls shared a wicked grin as their hands clapped together. This was success and they would reap their rewards. Usagi, gently slid off the elf's lap and Anais held out a hand for the girl to use as both transitioned to the floor in front of Ailen. They would not even bother properly replying to his suggestion, both would simply end up taking places on their knees at his feet, mouths open, eyes slightly lidded and tongues hanging out. It was obvious the implication and with their still sex blushed faces they were obviously intended to be a bit tempting.

At the same time, Charles seemed to fully become himself again and Astolfo seemed free of his invisible bindings. Sakura was easily basking in the remaining sensation seemingly with a devious little smile on her face. Still, there were no real questions from Charles and Sakura could easily begin removing herself from him, which she did by gently moving her body forward. Sakura managed to take her eyes off Charles after witnessing a few more strange looks on his face but she decided she'd save her questions for him for later. Here and now, Astolfo had a question which Sakura had a bit of a problem with, still her emotional status wasn't being pulled by her soul, so the answer would come out with bland disinterest at best. "I am not sure what thruple nor third wheel actually mean," she said calmly as she worked towards extricating herself from Charles. "But if that is a question of your placement, I am not interested," she said clearly. Without her soul telling her she should accept and knowing she wouldn't enjoy it as much as she enjoyed doing anything with Charles, Sakura could clearly offer Astolfo rejection, something which she would have been incapable of doing directly. Ah, and there was no more that needed to be said about it, she'd almost finished removing Charles from her rear, there was no direct need to stay locked in place and she figured he might want to relax and wouldn't want to do it in such an uncomfortable position. "Char-kun, you look like you might have had questions... can I help with them?" she asked almost sweetly by comparison.

Usagi could not be a mark for his age, being baffled by a mere 300-year old elafia. Charlemagne's thousand years was a bit ridiculous for a human to those who lived on the lower world, but there had certainly been a few similar cases throughout the ages. In his case, he was on the higher end of years even as an elf... but perhaps that didn't need to be addressed. "I'll leave it at that. For my own sanity, I believe it's best to let that positive energy be the end of it," he commented with the lightest chuckle. Moving on, his mention of logic was met by a shared moment between friends. Their hands clapped together in a gesture he'd seen humans perform a few times before. As he recalled, it was a sign of companionship in moments of excitement or... victory? Perhaps there were other meanings. Regardless, they were soon both moving away, taking their places next to one another and presenting themselves thereafter in a very appealing way. Ailen was staring into their faces as he took a page out of Sun Wukong's book. There he was, rising until he stood over them. He'd be stroking himself to completion with both girls' faces in his sights. With such a view, he hardly found it difficult to quickly spray knowledge with a central target point being right between two faces.

Meanwhile, Charlemagne was being pulled away from by Sakura in a way that seemed to take literal hours. He had no outright questions about what they'd recently been up to. In fact, he could remember it all, though it felt as if he wasn't in control of himself. Was that a negative? Yes, he figured it was... just slightly. Charlemagne wouldn't have made such an approach himself, but it seemed he could have gotten away with doing so. That sort of thought was arousing in its own right. While he mulled it over, Astolfo was addressed by Sakura. She didn't understand his phrases, but had no interest in his involvement. Some would have been utterly discouraged by the rejection of a goddess, but Astolfo... Astolfo only appeared triumphant. 'Not me?! Yes, the king is here!' he thought. Just then, Charlemagne was questioned as well. Sakura wished to know if she could help with whatever questions he had, as he did seem to have some. In response, he reached out to grab the retreating girl's shoulder. A sudden lunge forward had him right back where he'd been in the beginning: deep in the goddess's rear. "Why are you pulling back, I guess? That's not like you," he asked, ignoring his own present difference in behavior. The triumph Astolfo felt only grew in that moment. 'Even better! THE DOG IS HERE!' he shouted mentally.

Usagi and Anais would be leaving Ailen a happy thought concerning his age. If both girls were being truthful an age gap between them and any of the men they were interested in wasn't really a problem. In Anais's case it could be considered a bonus simply because her sexual preferences seemed to revolve around older and taller men. Ah, but there was still a bit of fun to be shared. The two girls seemed apt enough to take their places before Ailen, both girls offering faces which felt most natural while being in this position. Their faces touching on the sides as their mouths remained opened and waiting. They witnessed the man stroking himself to completion which was admittedly oddly erotic for both when knowing they were responsible for his state and his fall into their type of debauchery. And then, it came. Or rather, Ailen did, spurting between their faces as they aimed to catch it between themselves. Both girls would swallow what landed on the tongue post his spray and soon after both would have slightly dripping faces and mouths... being slightly deviant as they were another quick glance had them silently agree... and begin to kiss each other. The girls taking to lashing each others tongues and the sides of their faces to clean up the rest of the now flowing languages of the elves. While also getting rid of the last bit of their less than savory activities. Oh but that wouldn't do either would it? No, because there was still what remained on Ailen to be taken into consideration and both girls would attack that as well between their faces. A mixture of honey, persimmon and yuzu dances across their tongues as they cleaned his manhood and their own faces, bringing their little activity all the way back to their beginning this morning. Though both would still manage a wayward glance or two in Ailen's direction. This had been a surprisingly fun experience for both girls... and a rather eventful morning beyond it. "Arigatou, Shishou~" Anais managed as a final lick was applied to the side of her friends face. "Hai hai, same from me Ai-aniki, appreciate the lesson and breakfast~" she mused happily.

It would seem at the same time, a slightly different kind of ending was occurring for Charles. The lad had completely come back to his senses but it seemed that he might have had questions. Though Sakura had been very clear about her lack of desire aimed towards Astolfo the lad hadn't taken it too harshly at all. Perhaps it was his flexible personality that allowed this, or rather his lack of normal sense which did the same. Regardless, she'd almost extricated herself from Charles when he reached for her shoulder and lunged forward. His apparent first question concerned their separation, which caused the girl to hiccup by its suddenness but also feel the strangely immediate tensing of her loins as if she'd been overstimulated into a quick but effective orgasm. Her tongue had fallen out of her mouth for a brief moment and she had to exhale slowly to get her breathing under control. "Given your other reactions it seemed like it would be less stressful for you if I did..." she explained, seeming to take an almost completely logical thought process. "Unlike earlier it isn't necessary for us to remain this way," the girl mentioned. She'd taken to generally allowing his more avoidant behavior and without her soul to interfere and force the issue she would have let him get away with it now as well. "As for it not being like me, I disabled the passive functionality of my soul so I could better understand regular emotions," she explained of her general current strangeness. She understood that most humans wouldn't understand why she thought such a thing necessary but it had been a good experiment and she'd need to try and replicate the results.

Ailen's final deliverance of knowledge was no less rewarding than those which were left within the loins of his students. Just as he thought, Mugen was onto something. The waste of mana was automatically righted by a sight for the ages. Moreover, having two people at the receiving end immediately negated the waste, as both parties took to licking one another clean of the residue. That, too, was something Ailen couldn't peel his eyes away from. A bit of time spent tending to each other's faces, and the morning came full-circle with attention paid to his groin again. That certainly wasn't a way to successfully end things, but... he did suppose the responsible solution would outweigh debauchery this time. "Breakfast?" he questioned with a chuckle upon receiving the girls' gratitude. "I suppose it does count. Though you two should actually be getting ready, should you not? If you keep that up, I'm afraid we'll be here all day. Not that I would mind personally, of course. There's always so much to teach~"

Alas, someone would be even later to the meeting even if the lasses ran off that exact moment. Charlemagne found himself making a decision in the heat of a moment. That decision, of course, was personal enjoyment. While Astolfo sauntered off giddy as a schoolgirl, Charlemagne was plunging his way back into Sakura's rear. He had to have the experience while fully conscious. Sakura apparently attempted retreat due to his earlier showings of stress, which... Charlemagne was quite sure he already made his opinion of clear. "I'm going to find stress regardless. Do what you want instead of worrying about how it'll affect me. That's what living your own life is all about," he proclaimed. As for it being unnecessary for them to remain, he didn't particularly understand Sakura's meaning. Of course it wasn't necessary, but it hadn't been before either ─ not by his understanding. "I'm not sure I get it, but... did you have a different idea?" the lad asked as he built toward another round of degeneracy.

On her knees naked and in the floor Anais had received more than a little mana this day. Of course Usagi could say the same and both girls could only chuckle at Ailen's assertion. It would seem they were taking the responsible path but both had already noticed Ailen's descent into their special form of madness. This was going to be an eventful adventure to say the least. "Well at least we know it's an option, an encouraging option even~" mentioned Usagi who gave a playful wink to both people as she stood and stretched. In truth, Anais was lamenting her existence. If not for a greedy old man god, she'd be a child of the forest free to undertake her studies as she wished with no need of the extra. Ah, but alas she was also a good friend and she wouldn't leave any of her friends in a bind if they needed her. Still, she couldn't help but feel the warmth of procrastination calling her name. "Yes, we should, but I don't wanna!~" Anais was feeling pouty along with the warm comforting pull of procrastination. But her friend from the other side was along to help mediate a few of her lesser known bad habits. "Oi oi, three hundred years you can't still be this much of a serial procrastinator. Come on, we'll have a bath... I'll go back to being Yume, and we can have a normal day. Meet people and train while I piece together my new Avatar~" mentioned Usagi. A pout remained on the elafia's face but she took her friend's now outstretched hand and went along for a bath. All the while her mind was being unboxed by her internal darkness who was content to find what was missing in the girl's life as it would complete all facets of them currently present.


While two people made the more responsible decisions and actually got up for baths and dressing. Charles had restarted what could have been a finished endeavor. Even so, Sakura couldn't be bothered stopping him either, she quite enjoyed the attention when it was Charles giving it. And what was more, he claimed that she should do what she wanted instead of worrying about how it would affect him. "I don't think I can agree to that. Living my own life at the expense of negatively impacting someone else, for something I don't need but simply want is... unkind," she responded. Such logic was the sort of thing people didn't think most divinities had but Sakura had it in her base personality. Perhaps she didn't have the right words for it, but it wasn't just important for her to do what she wanted, she oddly found herself searching for something similar to approval she couldn't get that if Charles was falling apart over things that didn't require explanation. Besides that she was quite unsure of her own actions. Ah, but that was fine, Astolfo had already left in an apparently good mood and Charles was in a good moon. He claimed that he didn't really get what she'd meant but wondered if she had any ideas... he seemed to be leaning into the sex part of this as well and that was, fine with Sakura. "Eto, I meant only that this particular entrance is purely for storing mana... no pure acts of creation only the reception of power so... it won't help us harmonize," she said as that mark on her lower back pulsed just a tad. "As for ideas, we could go like this a bit more... I think you might find it a bit easier to do it kneeling if we slightly shift positions," she stated, while motioning for the lad to lower himself. To her credit, if he went along with what she desired, she would rotate to her left leaving a leg up against his shoulder while still leaving him in her body. From this angle she could more easily see him and he could still ge the leverage necessary for the deeper plunges without standing on the bed. In fact, he could do so kneeling comfortably. Yes, she'd like to watch him enjoy her like this...

Ailen's involvement of the morning had come to an end, as he saw things. With a bit of playfulness shared between friends, both girls were off to prepare for the meeting they were certainly late for. Ah, but they couldn't really be called late when the host had yet to start preparing. Charlemagne was on a path that would take him some time yet, and Sakura was doing nothing but joining along on that path. She insisted upon her ideals, refuting the idea of seeking her own goals if doing so would have a negative impact. They had to reach an understanding, it seemed. "What negative impact? It hasn't been negative so far. I don't think it will be," he admitted. Charlemagne understood that his earlier reactions were unusual to the lass ─ as much as hers were unusual to him. In spite of that, things had gone... swimmingly, if he were being truthful about it.

With Astolfo gone and the moment between them continuing uninterrupted, Sakura further explained the situation at hand. The current exchange could do nothing to help creation processes, and could not connect them in the way conventional intercourse did. Charlemagne saw no issues with that. "Is that a problem? There's been a lot of that uh... 'harmonizing' already," he commented, believing it would be fine for the goddess to seek something she could clearly appreciate as a matter of fun. Even he couldn't deny the positives while they were right in front of him. Sakura had another suggestion, though. Urged to balance on his knees, Charlemagne lowered both legs while... Sakura raised one of hers all the way up to his shoulder. Was minor contortionism a goddess feature? It almost seemed to be at this point. Charlemagne found an interesting quality to the clench of her rear, both during and after that movement. He soon found an arm hooked around her elevated thigh while his other hand pressed against her back. Thrusting was suddenly much easier with newfound leverage. "Hn─yeah... it's definitely something; I'll give you that."

Anais and Usagi went off to share a shower, while Ailen was allowed a moment of peace without company. As their aspect of the morning moved towards 'normal productivity'. In the mean time a different sort of understanding was needing to happen between Charles and Sakura as it became one of those moments where they needed to find clarity with each other. Their disagreement while not large was one of slightly different understanding. Specifically Charles chose to question the negative impact she thought she was having and point out that he saw no such thing... and didn't think there was anything to worry about. "I will admit that my understanding of emotions is very different even if I can sense them I can't fully understand them... your reactions earlier did seem negative in some way though I can't put a name to it..." she explained of herself. "Just the same... if you say it isn't a problem, I'll choose to believe in you, Char-kun..." she offered with a small smile. She did also think they got along quite well and she was thinking that even now without her soul to influence her desires. She was experiencing things as a point of pure physicality but she also felt something else while engaging with Charles that she didn't quite have a name for yet.

Regardless they would be going for that shift in position she'd mentioned. And he seemed capable enough of going along with her strange demands even though it likely didn't make as much sense to him. He asked if the lack of harmonizing was a problem as well... and as far as Sakura understood... "Iie, it isn't a problem at all. My soul isn't currently active so there wouldn't be much point in harmonizing but that would have been the reason to remain connected if we weren't continuing," she explained of her thoughts earlier. The lad seemed to be going off the script, but it seemed he was fine with the ending that he'd contributed to, and he also wasn't in the mood to stop apparently. No matter, she could understand his feelings and now with her altered and contorted self she could see his face once more as he experienced this shift. She had an arm hooked around her elevated thigh as well as the lad getting a bit of a tighter squeeze out of the sensation. It seemed her understanding of this position was correct as they both managed to feel more and have access to more. There was even a comforting hand against her back and she found herself smiling. "Hai, it's definitely that~" she commented with a slight teasing quality to her voice.

Charlemagne's earlier reactions may have seemed negative, and indeed they may have been intended to. Regardless, his overall reception of Sakura's behavior was always positive in the end. He couldn't complain about a single thing done ─ he could only complain about the idea of their union based on preconceived notions of such connections. More and more though, it seemed those notions were becoming worthless. "I don't think it's that much of a problem. People are more complex than that," he suggested. Perhaps his current line of thought was the wrong one, or perhaps he was more on the right track than ever before. Such things couldn't be determined until all facts were laid out. That time of discovery would not come today, so Charlemagne would try his best not to worry about the possibilities.

Furthermore, Sakura spoke of her inactive soul voice, thus alluding to their unnecessary connection. Charlemagne didn't care about that. This continuation could be the most unnecessary thing he ever did, but he wouldn't ─ couldn't ─ be kept from it. There was to be a meeting. Of the necessary participants, he was well on his way to being the last arrival, yet... that didn't matter at all. "Well, we're probably already late and only getting later. I'm sure everybody will be willing to give a pass just this once, so why not just enjoy the moment?" he mused. Charlemagne's hips were moving like clockwork, not an ending in sight for the chosen activity of the morning. There was a very real chance he'd even be a few hours later than anticipated at the current rate. . .

There was apparently some underlying complexity to human emotion. Sakura had it explained to her that things were not always so cut and dry. She supposed she could see the truth of that, and she'd do her best not to think about how negatively some things played out. For all she understood, she might become better at reading people the more different sorts of people she interacted with, at the very least, the people on this adventure with them seemed to be capable of understanding her and expressing themselves in a way she understood. "Hai, I'll keep it in mind," she mused seemingly fine with the slightly less intuitive way of thinking.

Moving on from that point, it seemed that they would be continuing. Even with the explanation that it wasn't necessary, Charles seemed apt enough to continue. Sakura had recently come to understand the fun of the situation and with that mark on her lower back pulsing she couldn't really dispute the idea either. Even without her soul being involved she could at least see the fun of further experimentation. "Late? Hm, I suppose you did say sunrise..." she commented looking at the dawn facing window of his and knowing they were indeed late by now. Still his steady pounding was continuing and she hadn't done anything to stop him from pursuing his current goal. "Enjoying the moment, huh?" she said seeming to think it over a bit. There were no real negatives in her case, her senses were open enough to let her know they were far from the only 'late' arrivals but they would likely be the last to show. Regardless, it wouldn't be to anyone's detriment, besides she didn't really want to stop either and that was simply her truth. "Hai, let's enjoy..." she chimed happily. Her own hips beginning to help along the shift even as she was captured in an odd way. Time would pass obviously and a few more flourishes would come from her person before they finally split and she would take no issue with this current form of exploration.

Sunrise was quite some time ago, as Charlemagne saw things. He hadn't been to the Eternal Sanctum in ages, but he could never forget how the rising sun shone through that window. Oh well. Charlemagne couldn't make himself care how late he was. Enjoying a moment was the name of the game, so to speak, and he intended to kick back and smell the roses for once. Too long had he been stressing over this and that. Whatever consumed him in prior minutes, it had done the world of good. So often of late, he'd decided to take the enjoyment route simply because he was already on the path. Now, for once... he'd make the conscious decision to do so, and he'd be better for it.

And so, another hour passed before Charlemagne even managed to remove himself from the purple-haired lass. With that passage of time, he was soon found in the bath again. This wasn't the time for another long cleaning, but he would at least soak for a few. Besides, it was best to collect a few thoughts before addressing the others... who had probably been waiting around for a very long time now. He'd eventually do something about drying off to make way for the courtyard, having a few ideas that he seemed to be mumbling about. "Two years for a journey. That doesn't sound long, but it also sounds like forever. At least four people in the group have never been on an adventure even half this long. I think that can be managed easily enough. . ."
