"Um-hm," the girl affirmed. She truly had no particular ideations in mind while she did the things she did. Any effectiveness she found seemed to please her just the same. Her internal voice gave her ideas, but they never seemed very serious either. Ailen went on to say that if she wasn't doing anything on purpose, then he'd hate to see her try. Or rather he'd enjoy it... too much? 'Wait wait wait... am I good at this? Did I really do something exciting?' she asked of herself. It seemed almost completely foreign to her as an idea. 'Hell yeah, we did that! We can ruin him, we'll be his only student ever! Forever!~' Anais's eyes widened quite a bit at that. She didn't know her internal voice was as stuck on Ailen as she seemed to be, still, it didn't sound like a bad idea. Suddenly her index fingers were tapping together gently and she truly felt innocent.

Moving on from this, Ailen was indeed capable of making Anais a bit soft with flattering words. Of course, she'd given her take on their current arrangement her lack of problem with his desire for indulgence. In fact, she felt it a bit enabling for her to have him... concede quite a bit. A small smile crossed her lips as she heard his words. He'd stop being so hard on himself and instead focus on becoming more efficient. That was much better as an idea in Anais's mind. "Hai, that's a good way to go about it Shishou~" she mentioned happily. Now, how would she deal with the rest of his question? How did she want to proceed? Well, she did have that nagging sensation in her loins. And she'd been quite curious about the act of sex itself... she realized having sex would change the nature of their interactions and open her up to such an interaction with Mugen but that wouldn't be the primary reason she wished to do so. "Well, we agreed to make sure I received my lesson today... and I've done the trial I wished to do with my new abilities, so if you joined me in the bath we could try the more normal kind of sex and I could test out this memory retention thing... Besides I'm pretty interested in more normal sex anyway," she admitted. She couldn't know this wouldn't be just as odd.

At the same time her mind was gently distracted. Mugen was around her rear whispering in her ear about the goodness of her indulgence. She thought fulfilling her strange desires might be a good idea, and he claimed they would be. He even went on to tease the lass about the honesty of her body as her back arched against his firmness and about the honesty of her mouth specifically while it was active. 'Waah, I didn't expect you to know about that...' yep, she was done. Embarrassed to death, even in her own mind. Her face reddened just a tad when that was said, she didn't think about what it'd be like to deal with him knowing that kind of information. Of course, he went on to hold her hips with his hands and continue to speak to her. She found his words strange, and beyond their meaning found them rather tempting. 'You do know, Mugen-sensei, I have an internal shoulder devil already... I don't really need a second one...' she mused. Even so, she understood something completely. This man was exceedingly hard to say no to, in fact, that reference for her as little doe, made her loins twitch. She didn't know how to feel about him wanting to see how much her legs could bend, but she was fairly certain given her own understanding it would be enjoyable.

Surely he couldn't be giving the girl too much credit in reality. Something had to be amiss, even if it was a subconscious thing. Oh well; he wouldn't harp on that too much. Whatever the case, there was an agreement between them. The ideal situation was that he be more effective in teaching by first cutting the white noise, so to speak. In expressing a desire to do so, Ailen offered one query about Anais's preferred approach. With that said and her experiment successfully done, Anais oddly suggested that he join her in the bath. Apparently, she had an interest in a more normal approach to sex. How strange. Based on her earlier words, he assumed she wished to forego such a thing and test her other retention strategies. As such, Ailen was somewhat taken aback. "Oh? What of your other study? You were talking about meditation and yoga; it was an interesting thought. I'd hate to ruin your potential. You shouldn't feel obligated to do something like that on your second day of learning," he insisted, wishing only to keep inline with Anais's own intentions and comfort.

Meanwhile, Mugen proved he wanted no such thing. Of course he knew what she did with her mouth. He didn't see it or anything like that, but it was written on the surface of her soul. "You should expect me to know about everything. That's the plan, anyway," he assured. The redness of Anais's face was something Ailen took note of, yet he remained ignorant of the truth. The elf figured her shy reaction was an aftereffect of a sexual request, but no... only Mugen knew what the true cause was. Ah, and it seemed she was requesting an advancement of this little session with Ailen. How exciting. Ailen spoke to the contrary, but that was what Mugen inserted himself into the fray for. "It's almost cute how boring the two of you are about this. Is that what you want? Study? Well, to each their own. I always thought learning was an aftereffect of experience, not the other way around," the demon mused. On the topic of being a shoulder devil, Mugen nearly guffawed. "Really now? I was under the impression that she worked for me. Is that not true, dark one? Well... it doesn't matter. I'm not here to be your shoulder devil. I am interested in the internal part, though. Give me that part."

Anais would have been a bit embarrassed about asking what she did. But she'd made the active decision to say what she wanted to say and think about it only while being alone. Yes, she'd decided to give herself second hand embarrassment after getting through whatever things she was trying to get to. In the moment, she'd asked for her mentor to join her in the tub so that they could copulate as normal... well relatively normal anyway. But in response to this, her mentor questioned her advanced studies and her desire. "Iia, it isn't like that. I did want to test those options, but I am quite certain I won't be able to properly concentrate with my current nagging curiosity. I am quite familiar with that aspect of my own mind already," she stated. "Besides, I don't feel obligated to do anything, Shishou" she explained. "I had the idea pop up in my head yesterday and I'd been arguing with myself about it quite a bit, but as there are no obligations and no other issues, because I am curious, and interested, and because it's you... I want to..." she explained of herself. "So, join me?" she offered honestly. Ah, there was still innocence in those eyes of hers. She saw nothing wrong with the statements she'd just made, she saw her request as mostly reasonable.

You know what wasn't reasonable? Mugen. He was the least reasonable being Anais didn't think was evil. According to him, it was the plan for him to know all the things she did. That was frightening. The fact that he was capable of making her blush from the space within her mind was rather ridiculous. He thought the interaction between Anais and Ailen cute but boring for what they were talking about. Given what he was like, Anais could see why this was his opinion. And after dealing with him even a little she could understand his take on learning through experience or after. 'I do understand your stance. I might share it a bit... maybe not to the same extreme,' she mused. This man was still too close to her, even in her own head, he seemed to be such an invasive and inviting force. At the same time he didn't seem to be pleased about the potential of being a shoulder devil, instead he was interested in the 'internal'. 'Oh? I don't think I work for you exactly... I could work with you though... I'm sure we want similar things~' Anais's internal voice was such a traitor. Ah, well maybe that was a strong word. Oh well, she didn't blame her internal self, the man was quite magnetic. 'If I'm being honest, it feels dangerous to agree to things you say... Still feels like I want to though, Forbidden things have too much pull,' she mused. She actively wondered how long this man intended to inhabit her brain.

As always, it was Ailen's intention to leave Anais's progress in her own hands. He did so here and now, albeit to no avail in terms of dissuading her. From the sound of things, her offer was not made in obligation. A desire was created on the previous day, mulled over in the aftermath, and now became a decision quite firm. So, would he join her? There were certainly no negatives on his end, and he was personally willing. "I suppose there is no point in arguing while you seem so certain. Very well," he concluded. If he was granted a bit of room, Ailen would soon be sliding down into the lake, where he'd occupy the same space he so recently abandoned. Ah, but there was a potential issue with that. . .

Anais occupied the space between Ailen's legs, and a phantom of Mugen who would feel all too physical to the girl was right behind her. Even while they bantered in her mind, he was pushing against her, rubbing himself against her bare bottom. "If you share my belief, you may as well share some other things," he insisted. When her dark self spoke, she suggested that they work together instead of her working for him. Well, that didn't work. "Sounds like something worth a wager," the demon replied. It seemed he had no intention of moving, even while knowing Anais needed to create space for her mentor's movements. Ah, but that was with purpose... including, but not limited to, the purpose of keeping in close proximity. "It is dangerous to agree... if you don't follow suit. I'll tell you something about the Forbidden right now, since you skipped my little lesson earlier. You know what helps you manage the darkness? You've been reasoning with yours, finding concessions and all that ─ that's fine temporarily. Mastering the Forbidden is about finding something, wanting it... and taking it. It's about looking at something that doesn't work the way you want it to, and making it conform to you. It's about giving in to something when you don't know how it could negatively impact you, and deciding one thing. You know what that one thing is?"

Anais was taking her own progress into her hands at this point in her life. She was exceedingly interested in finding out about sex, and she'd been told to take whatever lessons she wished from her mentor. After confirming that she didn't feel obligated to undertake the exercise and it was simply something she felt like doing, her mentor conceded. "Hai!~" she mused. His agreement made her smile and she found herself moving backwards just a tad, ah, but that wasn't easy.

Why? Well, Mugen was as real to her inside of her head as he was likely sitting on that throne. As such when she stepped back she felt him rubbing against her rear. He claimed that if she shared his belief then she should share more. She felt almost skittish knowing that he both was and wasn't where he was, but feeling him firmly against her just the same. 'I said I shared it a bit... so invasive, Mugen-sensei...' the girl murmured. His presence here was so very strange, but he didn't seem to be going away. 'Wager? That sounds pretty dangerous, even to me~' the internal voice of Anais found something odd about the demon's words. Well, at least she wasn't completely throwing caution to the wind, that was something to be respected. Strangely, the man had legitimate information to give, so she supposed she'd pay more than a little attention to the sensations created by her body. He claimed that her bargaining with her own darkness was a working solution for a time, but in order to master the Forbidden there were some specific things that needed to be done. Finding, wanting taking... forcing things to conform to her. This all seemed very dark wizard, dark side of the force, kingdom hearts darkness-y, then knowing that sort of thing the cliché answer was to embrace it. 'Is it acceptance? That's my best guess... and it also seems like the thing that is least likely to be done, well there are a few other potential answers I guess, but that one is one of the better ones, I think,' she mused. She really did enjoy the thinking process. Though she was rather actively willingly starting the process of copulation with Ailen, she didn't really mind talking with Mugen in her head. 'Also I didn't skip it... I put it off. Don't make me sound irresponsible,' she said about the lesson.

In the wake of their arrangement, Ailen took note of Anais's movement. Strangely, he also realized she came to a halt before much space was created for his descent. Whatever reason she had for that, he was left curious. "Hm? Having second thoughts?" he wondered while Mugen pushed against the girl. She could do as she pleased, but this lesson would be taught in preparation for the next undertaking. "It's not invasive. I'm already inside you. Not the way I intend to be, mind you... but that's another story. I will be inside every version of you, physical or otherwise, so you might want to get used to it~" he whispered.

Mugen wondered what Anais would truly think of his open question. There was a certain method to avoiding negative consequences when meeting the Forbidden. So few knew it, but Anais would eventually be faced by it. Sadly, she was not showing such capacity at present. "Partial credit on the answer. In terms of action, you've failed the quiz. Better luck next time~" he said first and foremost. "Yes, acceptance is part of it. The Void is stronger than you ─ stronger than everyone. If you don't accept it, it will consume you. But... there's one more thing that'll keep you from being overwhelmed. One more thing will make you better for the trial against the Forbidden. Not showing that trait, is exactly why you are irresponsible... for now." As he spoke, Mugen continued grinding against the lass's backside, wedging himself between her cheeks and stroking in a similar way to how they interacted previously. Even in ethereal form, he found such a thing quite pleasant. "This is good, you know? I wonder what the real thing will be like. Maybe I'll swing by in a minute? Oh, but I guess you've got a plan for now, huh? So? What's the move? You're special, so you get a second chance. Either get it, or... I'll have to show you later. Or would you rather just get back to business as you originally planned?"

Anais also noted that she'd let her mental self, be a bit too in control of her body. As such she moved back enough to actually let the man descend into the water, even while knowing that it put her spiritual self in more physical contact with the demon behind her. It was so strange to be balancing these things currently, but that being said she found herself being questioned by her mentor about having second thoughts. "Iie, no second thoughts... it'd be pretty embarrassing to trip. Though, I feel like that may not be so much a problem as I think," the girl mentioned, which was a legitimate problem she'd had. No one wants to fall in a bath and she didn't want to mentally trip all over the man behind her either. Though admittedly Mugen rubbing against her rear was rather nice. He also claimed to already be inside her, not how he wanted to be, but claimed that was a reason it wasn't invasive. He made the claim that he'd be inside of every version of her, physical and otherwise so she should get used to it. 'Is that hot or threatening?' she asked mostly of herself even knowing he could hear it. 'YES!~' Well at least Anais's internal voice was taking things in stride.

Whatever the case, Anais had given her best guess to answer his question and had been given... partial credit. 'Ugh... it's like you are trying to get under my skin,' she complained just a tad. Hm, maybe what she needed was more information. It was possible she'd missed something or misinterpreted it. Her attention was split. Hm... she'd box the conversation and come back to it. That was always the best option when she was wrong. Revising as a student was pretty normal, and she wouldn't allow herself to be wrong about things for too long. It'd likely eat away at her quite a bit if she didn't figure it out. That being said, she was given some pretty definite answers about the Void and her potential future interaction with it. Hm, that thing that Solomon said about it also made a bit more sense. She'd deal with it... but just the same Mugen would be wedged between her cheeks giving the girl a strange bit of sensation while claiming this was good. He seemed to be giving her a bit of choice, coming by in a bit. Leaving her be for now... 'I'm really going to need everyone to stop thinking I have planned anything... I am unsure of the answer, I'd need more time to think. So I'll carry on and find you when I have a real answer,' she decided pretty firmly. Just the same he was something she wasn't quite ready to deal with, and she was sure he was thinking about putting himself in her rear which she was sure wasn't a thought she'd entertained at all. Yeah, she definitely needed a whole lot more time, though how much was up in the air.

Anais claimed there were no second thoughts, further stating that it would be embarrassing to trip. Ah, he supposed slipping under the water would be somewhat problematic for her. Taking the information given to be the whole of it, Ailen nodded. "Ah. I understand. No need to worry, though. I may be a scholar and an alchemist, but I am physically capable enough to catch you if something like that happened," he said. Regardless, Anais scooted farther back. Ailen had ample space to slide down into the lake, and so, he did.

Of course, Anais's movements did result in additional contact with Mugen. Her internal discussion aside, she felt he was trying to get under her skin. That, too, was an effect of the Forbidden. It wasn't precisely Mugen's intention, though. "Don't be so simple. I told you what I'm trying to do. There's not much more to it than that," he said in the most casual manner possible. Frankly, Mugen's intention was entirely irrelevant. His appearance was partially a conscious effort, but primarily a result of Anais's subconscious urges. Even in phantom form however, he had something to teach. Did Anais find the answer? She did not, though she now had the means of acquiring it... and that would be for the better long-term. As for the alleged interpretation of her plans, Mugen scoffed. "You obviously have one. You're about to step things up with Ai-chin right now, right? That's a plan. So, go on. If you plan to look for me and it's not about what we were discussing earlier, call on this one instead. I'll always be with you; just ask Sinais over there. She can always talk to me~♥"

Anais's explanation seemed to go over well enough. Enough space was given for Ailen to descend into the water. She got to feel more of the spiritual version of Mugen all rubbed up against her backside, she wasn't asked for clarification for why she was worried about tripping. All was well. She seemed to be doing a reasonable job of keeping these two aspects of her mind separate enough to carry on a conversation without it being really odd. In fact, Ailen claimed that even while being a scholar and alchemist he had enough physical ability to catch her if anything went wrong... "That's pretty comforting, Shishou..." she teased just a little. With him where he needed to be she'd take the step towards him seeming to move herself knowing that Mugen would do what he wished.

Moving on, Mugen claimed he'd been clear about what he was trying to do, and it wasn't about getting under her skin. 'I wonder if I should be worried about such a pursuit. You know what... that's going in a box somewhere,' she decided, not dealing with it was potentially better than all else. Who was she to tell an age old demon that being interested in her was an almost alien concept. Still there was the matter of plans, she'd made some to progress her relationship with Ailen, and he acknowledged that... his way of referencing other people made her brow raise and made an instant question. 'Is that a nice one or a rude one? Box it,' she decided once again to not waste her mental energy on figuring out such things and instead put it aside with Mugen related information. 'I am doing that yes...' she admitted. And there was more, if she planned to seek him not for their desired sexual escapade she should seek this spiritual version of him though her internal voice which he called Sinais. Such a name rang like a chiming bell in her ear. 'Was it just me or do you like that too?' she asked of herself. 'Love it. My name...and I can talk to Hot-sensei~ Sounds like a great deal to me~' Still so pleased. 'Hai hai, I'll remember not to think about it like it's invasive. Ja ne, Mugen-sensei~' she chirped content to carry on her present path and see it all the way through before dealing with the demon and his complexities.

"Everything in a box, huh? Don't run out of room too quickly," Mugen advised. That little mental storage method Anais made use of could be useful. Alternatively, it could eventually cause a form of fragmentation that no one would ever want to deal with. They'd find out what it became for Anais by the time Mugen taught her directly, he thought. Whatever the case, Anais was boxing a second thing within a matter of seconds. One might wonder if his choice of honorific was even worth storing away like that. No matter.

The elafia's second, darker voice, was addressed by Mugen using a name he presented on the spot. Such a simple decision it was, as her name found its roots in the language of Creators. They both approved of the name Sinais, which was just the opposite of the original's name... in two ways. "Ho. Interesting. I'll tell you the details when that one is ready. Have your fun," he said. Being bid farewell, Mugen began to fade from Anais's rear. Of course, he wouldn't vanish completely until after rubbing his girth between her legs once or twice. He had to take something for himself after being pseudo-summoned, so he'd part only after receiving a slightly better feel.

All the while, Ailen was falling properly into place. He wasn't sure what Anais's ideal approach to copulation was, but there were a few expectations based on her original suggestion. Interestingly enough, the disappearing Mugen would not leave a full lack of sensation for Anais. As his hands faded from her hips, Ailen's were taking up their places in those locations. His grip was not as firm as the demon's, but he seemed to cover more space with those long fingers ─ easily having a few reach the girl's backside. "I'm not sure how you meant to begin. Apologies if I've made the wrong assumptions," he stated.
