Charles Patricius

Was Anais in danger? Well, yes, certainly. It was neither immediate nor life=threatening in any way, but something she'd rather avoid was on the horizon and getting closer with every thought following a certain process. Strangely enough, the unreal scrutiny had nothing to do with her thoughts about Abe no Seimei ─ at least not initially. She and her darker self were giving many serious consideration to karmic repercussions. Such things could be sensed with great ease by those who connected themselves to the concept, and in-turn were connected to by it. At the current rate of progression, Anais would be suffering some unavoidable side-effects very soon, by no one's conscious effort. Regardless, she remained unbothered enough to take up her mentor's lap, thus reminding the elf indirectly of how much he'd been assaulted by her for most of the morning. He was the sober one here; he had no reason to be deviating in thought. The term 'going native' couldn't even apply ─ he was being colonized instead.

Meanwhile, Yuuya was suffering an intense case of embarrassment without a shirt. In fact, he had the strangest expression as if he were suffering a trauma. In fact, he was. It wasn't until a strangely positive reception of his shirtless state that he realized things weren't so bad ─ there was no need to freak out. There was, however, even more of a need to be embarrassed. Two girls were complimenting his physique, and he was drunk enough to be nearly dysfunctional. Those two new experiences together were too much to deal with. "I. . ." How could he even react? Well... he couldn't, so he didn't manage even a single sentence.

Charlemagne would save his brother in awkward scenarios from further anguish. First though, he needed some form of divine intervention to save himself. Sakura seated herself in his lap, but not in any normal way. What she chose instead was to plop herself right in the middle, which immediately put Charlemagne in the realm of impending erection. Why? His thoughts were bad enough that dealing with physical stimuli was unnecessary. He wasn't complaining physically, but his mind was all over the place. Actually... he was intoxicated enough that his body was beginning to run along with it, fidgeting lightly for quite some time once contact was made. Ah, and it was his turn as well. "R-right. Uh... never have I ever... sat in a man's lap!" he declared. In that regard, Charlemagne had two confirmed victims right away. He'd never done such a thing, but two major causes of his drunkenness certainly had now, even if never before.

At long last, Martha's silence came to an end. Her consistency was unparalleled. Astolfo took note of her faultless rhythm even as he assaulted her; it was something he'd rarely seen anyone do. Despite her ease of receiving Astolfo, she vocalized the belief that this world had done something to her. She claimed it felt nice, but that had nothing to do with whatever the world itself had allegedly done. "Done something like what? I haven't noticed a thing," he said, utterly lost in regards to her meaning. "But if it feels good, keep going! We're just getting started!"

Anais thinking of the karma surrounding her desires and Abe no Seimei was something which invited that weird feeling. 'I feel like I shouldn't agree with you, but I do. He deserves better,' the elafia concluded. 'Yosh! Confidence! We're gonna ride that dick and get a ring!' her internal self was quite proud of her little outer self, and seemingly aboard with her childhood wish of marrying Abe no Seimei. All the while, Yume was staring at her friend. That internal voice of hers had a desire of the strangest sort of world domination. They were going to rock the world one day. They were already succeeding in their takeovers as her darkness understood it. Their elf mentor seemed to be very ready for the sort of deviance they had to offer, even though they'd already almost murdered him a few hours ago. How nice. A gentle wiggle of the girl's hips occurred as she settled in. A stop in the music for a bit wasn't really a problem as she sat with her cup in her hand pleased beyond reason.

Beyond that, Yuuya seemed to be incapable of coming to terms with his level of attractiveness. Of course, this was something easily understood by everyone, they weren't trying to put him on the spot. But, Charles would be the one to come to his rescue and it would be shortly after Sakura adjusted to his slight fidgeting as she settled between his legs. How nice, this was definitely worth attempting. What would Charles be saying though, never had he ever, sat in a man's lap? "Oh? I guess I am drinking..." said Sakura who smiled before adding in her confession. "I confess, I saw my sister do this in a dream and figured it would be pretty fun..." she said pointing out that all of this had been a learning experience. As for Yume and Anais they looked at each other, the elafia's current perch made her far too comfortable and Yume could only scoff. "You know, if you'd asked this yesterday I wouldn't be drinking right now..." she offered. "Hm can that count as my confession?" she asked wondering if it was a bit to obscure. In the meantime Anais shook her head gently, "I am still taking a dare," she murmured. "But for the record laps are comfortable places whether they are for pillows or for sitting," she said as she took her first drink, and allowed her cup to refill so that she could take the drink associated with her dare.

In the meantime, Martha's vow of silence ended as she pointed out the strangeness of this world on both her understanding and her apparent sexual desires. Even so, she wouldn't really stop what she was doing, even with Astolfo contributing she wouldn't really be changing her antics. Astolfo's curiosity was one she could answer, and she would... but only after she finished around his shaft once again. The squeeze and coming flood of fluids was something which she appreciated. She'd even done so with him rubbed against the farthest wall of her womb, adding to the sensation of it. "Ah...ah....haaa.... made it so odd. This is a lot more than I remember this sort of thing being. It's not just a matter of it being a long time ago either, it's just... a lot, you know?" she asked not knowing if it made sense. Still if they were doing what felt right she supposed she'd carry on without worrying too much about what she was doing and enjoy the current situation for what it was.

Even if Anais had no understanding of current events, an agreement was being made. Her desire spread into the ether and was agreed upon by an outside entity. She wanted a ring for 'riding that dick' according to the more sultry persona in her mind, did she? Well, she'd be getting one... one day. Today, she'd be dealing with something else due to Sakura's pointed dares.

Charlemagne and Ailen hadn't become friends of any sort yet, but today... they were becoming brothers. Just as brothers-in-arms were formed on the battlefield, they were subconsciously becoming brothers-in-erection. Each had a woman in their laps, and each suffered the immediate elation of soft curves against the groin. Each of them also had a thousand accompanying thoughts as a result. Sakura got this from a dream about her sister? That was strange, but her sister was surely some sort of evil mastermind. Charlemagne didn't want to meet her; he was in enough trouble already. Her accompanying confession reminded Charlemagne of his own mistakes as well. "Oh, right. I haven't drank anything," he said before downing another cup. In actuality, he'd skipped a few drinks by now, and he still wasn't taking the additional penalty for accepting a dare. It may have all slipped his mind.

Yume wondered if her random factoid counted as a confession. "I'd accept it," said Yuuya. For Charlemagne, however... "My foot! No way am I counting that," he argued. Moving on, Anais decided to take a dare. Charlemagne had just the dare for her, a challenge given through a devious grin. "You, Annie... I dare you to tell one person something you wouldn't even think of telling the rest of the group right now. Anyone, anything, I don't care. They just have to confirm that it's valid, or you're drinking again missy!"

Astolfo was soon to need a drink as well. As old as she was in this world, Martha was obviously inexperienced. Inexperienced as she was, however, she was quite the natural learner. Even while she panted her way into an answer, her hips rose and fell as if she'd taken a dozen or more divine tools to the womb before now. Astolfo appreciated the development ─ especially while being on the receiving end of it. Ah, but what of her claim? "Hmm... 'Astolfo, you're so much bigger than I expected! It's making me crazy, but I can't stop! Keep giving it to me!' That's what I heard. Does that sound right?" he asked, completely twisting her every word while still believing it was consistent with her intended message.

An agreement was made, even if Anais didn't understand it. Oh well, it wouldn't be the first time she made an agreement she wasn't fully ready to comprehend. She was still learning how to deal with everything concerning her desires in this magical world, so... she'd give herself a bit of slack as she experienced her grace period. Regardless, she would be actively enjoying her grace period with her mentor, way more readily than she could even imagine in her currently inebriated state. 'I don't think I am that pushy, but trying something like that does seem a bit more age appropriate...' Anais confirmed with her darker self. 'And on this day a new wish is born!~' Sinais was always in such good spirits, who was Anais to stop her from feeling her happiness?

The answer, no one. She wouldn't be getting in her own way, except in matters of safety. And now... there was something to properly distract her. She knew what she was feeling against the soft curve of her bottom. And she hadn't forgotten the words her mentor had given her at the start of this journey when she'd expressed an interesting in learning to grow musical instruments. That little wiggle that had her settle into her place became a gentle bit of fidgeting and leg bouncing. It would be punctuated occasionally by just a tiny pulse of mana from her unoccupied finger tips into the thigh of her mentor. All the while the revelation about where this idea came from in the mind of Sakura was something heard by both girls of that time. "Not really surprising," they both said of Ashikaga Kimiko. Even without knowing her directly knowing of the girl and that unnerving smile of hers made it obvious that she would have tortured some man or boy with these kinds of antics, if she felt inclined.

Beyond this point, Yuuya would have accepted the confession of Yume, but apparently Charles would not. "Well, nice to know us Yu people are still sticking together," she mused seeming to have taken at least a cursory liking to the lad known as Yuuya. "I confess, I am definitely the reason at least three other people are being transported to this world," she admitted without any context. As for Anais, she was dared to admit something to someone, anyone that she wouldn't tell the group, under the threat of a third drink. "Hai," Anais murmured. She gave a bit of thought to what she would be saying and then turned her eyes back to Ailen and motioned him down with a single finger. What she had to say would be quietly whispered to him while she blocked her own mouth from outside viewing, "Shishou, I really can't wait for us to land and get out of here, because I think you should strum me like that harp before you give me my lesson on how to make them~" she finished that speech then backed away from his face looking up at him with blushed innocence but having made a pretty suggestive comment about her very near future lessons and her current state of existence as a drunken person. She was occupying his lap and though quite drunk she wondered if such an admission counted. "Do you think that one works for the dare, Shishou?" she asked. A scoff came from Yume as she'd heard the thought crossing the girl's mind and she thought it did, 'So innocent and yet so dirty. Ai-aniki is going to have a really long day ahead of him~' she thought absently, though she was quite happy for her friend who was drinking her 'dare' based drink while awaiting confirmation.

Meanwhile, Martha was being treated to the warped logic that plagued the mind of Astolfo. The lad took the words she'd offered him, and... reordered them in such a way as to give them new meaning. Well, that wasn't entirely true, she supposed the words he'd chosen did make sense, but they weren't what she would have said to him. "I didn't say those words, but if you want to interpret them that way... I won't stop you," she claimed as her hips continued that steady paced ride even as she'd already finished around the lad once. "Oh actually, don't stop or anything, I don't think I'm quite done yet~" she mentioned. Ah... maybe she grew into talkative? Or was it more like she understood flirting at least even if it wasn't necessarily her forte. Or maybe there was jsut a lot about this that worked for her, but also didn't... it seemed fine.

As a new wish was born, so too was a new arrangement. Anais would have her dreams reach fruition, or perhaps... the wheel of fate had long since begun turning in that direction regardless. Time was such a fickle thing that many wishes were granted without paying heed to it, lest they be lost within the branches. Of course, everything had its price. For gaining what she desired, Anais would find herself having to pay the price ─ the same price she and her other self had so recently decided upon. Before any of that came about, Anais was grabbing more of Ailen's attention than she already had. A bit of fidgeting was to be expected from the lass, but her hand sending mana into his leg was a bit cheekier than normal. Intoxication was an interesting thing. Perhaps it was her intention to arouse him?

It seemed the answer was yes. When dared to share secretive information with someone, Anais beckoned her mentor. Ailen leaned toward her mouth, all to hear about how she was waiting for their landing to... be strummed like a harp? There was a slight elevation to Ailen's eyelids upon hearing that confession. Moreover, the expression on Anais's face afterwards belied her usual innocence, which contradicted her deviance in the most tantalizing manner. Was her confession viable for the dare? The burden of proof lay with Ailen. Sadly, so did the effects of Anais's behavior and words. "Frankly, I find it difficult to say," he claimed. She had caused his stiffness to occur more rapidly, and such would be subjected to his deviance. "In accordance with the rules, I believe it is on the right track. However, I would say some key information is missing for it to truly count. As that seems unintentional, I would offer a second chance to fill in the blanks."

While Anais and her mentor were being a pair of horny teenagers, Charlemagne was tilting his cup toward Yume to acknowledge her confession. "Not gonna lie; that's awesome! When you get to the good stuff in this world, I wouldn't trade it for anything! Those other three should have a good time," he said. Yuuya seemed rather interested in that information. For the longest time, he had only known the forest they were now quickly approaching. In said forest, only danger existed... but danger couldn't be everywhere. Perhaps this journey could lead him to a safe place for that door he was picking up. "Annie, get it together! I'm half ready to call another penalty, but I'll let it pass if he will!"

Astolfo's logic was certainly flawless. Martha may never have spoken the sentences he 'quoted' her for, but the meaning had not been missed. What he said could instead be considered the more pleasant variant. Martha claiming she wouldn't stop his belief, was only confirmation of his accuracy. "So yes? I think my version hits the ear way better~♥" he stated. Whatever the case, Martha did agree that they should continue. That island was getting dangerously close, so there wasn't much by way of time. Astolfo didn't care, though. She spoke those words, having already experienced orgasm in this encounter. That did bode well for overall satisfaction. "That's the spirit! No point stopping until everybody's good to go! Trust in Astolfo to get you off as many times as you need!♥" Giddy as a schoolgirl, Astolfo felt the time was perfect. He'd offer an indirect greeting to the encroaching island with bucking hips, thrusting up against Martha's undercarriage to add some refreshing aggression to their meeting ─ perhaps primarily for his own reasons.

The arrangements of the future were being set. Without even the knowledge that things could work in such a way, Anais was building herself a very interesting future. This of course applied to both the far-flung and the close at hand. As she found herself flirting rather suggestively with her mentor and found him, just as receptive as he always was. She might have been the sort to question it, but as one who'd been told that she could do as she pleased, she seemed to have run wild with the idea quite a bit. Oddly enough, she wasn't the only one being influenced, her mentor seemed to have picked up a bit of her deviance and while she drank her cup, mentioned that he wasn't sure if she'd said something which fit the confines of the dare. He was challenging her a bit and in the same way, exposing her to the deviousness that she'd so casually implanted in him. The elafia wouldn't and couldn't be properly upset about this, in fact, she quite liked her mentor acting a bit shamelessly. She enjoyed the idea that he might be taking advantage of the situation for his own ends because it made her feel better about her own actions, besides that it was quite alluring in its own way. 'Hoh? Shishou's flirting with us~' Sinais seemed to be as taken with the idea as Anais was. Her blushed face wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon of course. Moreover that erection he'd been working up to, became more obvious even to Anais, she playfully went about speaking again, "Hai, Shishou, I wouldn't want to be missing anything~" she mused initially. Once she had the proper positioning again, she'd whisper more of what she wanted out of this afternoon to her mentor. Obviously, just for the sake of the dare, "You know Shishou, we could find a nice quiet spot to explore. I could stay in your lap like this... and you'd have the freedom of your hands to strum along with the rhythm I choose for my ride. I'm pretty sure it'd be a nice duet and you can teach me the deeper meanings of the song~" the lass flirted. So innocent was the metaphor but the drunken version of Anais was sure that her lack of directness would still accurate communicate her meaning. Her choice in musical metaphor was appropriate to the kind of person she currently was. It was something she definitely wouldn't have whispered to anyone else, well... there was the always listening Yume but that was quite different.

Speaking of Yume she had her confession acknowledged as awesome. According to Charles when the world wasn't being bad, it was a great place to be. "I think it'll be pretty good for us, besides... everythings better with friends you connect with and can trust~" Yume mused. Good or bad, she definitely wanted her closest friends in this place with her. Even now, the speech of Anais was something she was quite interested in... she wondered if the girl knew she was flirting so effectively. That her words had multiple implications to anyone with any idea of what she might have been talking about. Ah,l but what was this, Charles was griping at Anais soon after she finished speaking again, he was claiming that he would give her another penalty, "Usuh...." Anais was drunk enough that her outburst was inverted. "When's the last time you penaltied?" she asked the lad seeming not to remember him taking a drink for a couple of his dares. Whether her mentor agreed or not the girl could continue drinking but she still knew what it was she was after for the evening. All the while with little movements Sakura could feel the growing desire in this space. She was not always certain of emotions, but this was something she fully understood, she was even feeling the growing firmness of Charles against her. If nothing else she was quite certain alcohol was something marvelous for removing human inhibitions. As such... she'd put her mind to work. Anais was almsot openly flirting with Ailen right now, perhaps drinking was something humans used for this purpose? "He's missed a few of his dare drinks. of this I am certain," Sakura asserted in the interest of impartiality.

Meanwhile, Astolfo was busy being ridden and claiming the superiority of his version of a sentence spoken by Martha. For her involvement in it, Martha had little to say... "Eh, they are your ears..." she murmured. Ah, even as her hips continued to move she couldn't really claim not to like what was happening here. Regardless it seemed that there had been no missteps on Martha's part. Astolfo continued to express satisfaction about the future of this endeavor. He claimed he'd be a trustworthy source of orgasm and oddly enough Martha agreed. "hai hai, I can agree to that much at least~" she claimed as his upward thrusting was something which had her continuing her ride with a few bumps along the way. It was quite different for adding aggression but she could adjust fairly easily, much like riding an actual beast, it was all about reaction and she had the ability to do that with relative ease.

A small amount of prodding granted Ailen another learning opportunity this day. Somewhere within Anais, there was a monster. It had no place in this world or the body of a small-statured elafia, as its power of seduction was even more dangerous than anticipated within that shell. It was... unprecedented, even. She'd chosen words that were not vulgar, but still painted a picture of vulgar acts that showed vividly in the elf's mind. He wasn't sure what to expect before. Even so, he still got something he wanted out of that second whispered thought, and everything was understood wholly. By now, he was outright throbbing beneath the girl and hoping the carriage found reason to stop soon as well. "Ah, I see. Intriguing," he said. Surely he meant titillating, but secrecy was already being kept, so he would not break it. "I suppose I should confess something, though I am a foreign entity to this game. It crosses my mind to dig deeper still. Though I find myself wanting to see what else is within that, it is only right to refrain. It works," he admitted. Strangely enough, that little speech was the most difficult decision of Ailen's life in a very, very long time. Colonization was a powerful thing.

Charlemagne and Yume were coming to terms in odd ways. Both believed things would be made better with the right comrades. In hearing those words from the lass, Charlemagne raised his cup in mock toast. "Hear, hear!" he chanted. There would be no drink taken by Charlemagne after, however... except there would be. After threatening to penalize Anais, Charlemagne was met by shushing of the weirdest variety. "You usuh!" he copied. Sadly, it was his fate to be called out. When was the last time he took a penalty drink? Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut, as he was quite sure there were a few skipped. According to Sakura, it was a few. Baffled, concerned and betrayed, Charlemagne had one thing to say. "Et tu, Saku?!" he griped. Oh well; this game was his idea. Since he'd been caught either forgetting or ignoring, he had to pay the price. "Fine, fine. Three dares, three drinks. Somebody hit me with 'em, and I'm pouring a mega pint of this grail wine!"

While a drunken Charlemagne was opening himself up to a trifecta of dares, Astolfo was working on opening up Martha in a different way. They were his ears, she claimed as reason for his perception. "Mm! But a lot of ears take that stuff better!" he replied. Astolfo had a certain understanding that a millennia-old elf was just beginning to reach within the cab. Certain things, said certain ways, had varying effects on mind, body and soul. Did Martha have a grasp on that yet? She would. Her nipples were left alone briefly, caught between his fore and middle fingers only after he grabbed her breasts to squeeze them firmly. Doing so had Astolfo settling his arms against Martha's sides, aiming to bring her down while thrusting up into her. Done properly, he'd be able to speak into her ear again. "Martha, Martha! You're so wet and squeezing me to death, it makes me want to mess you up until I pass out from exhaustion," he said at a near-whisper. Why? Well, it was the truth, but it was just as much only an example of his earlier meaning. Where would the remaining journey go from there? He was keen to find out.

Anais had probably shocked her mentor. At the very least, she'd answered his question in a way which had visibly surprised him. She hadn't known what it would be like to flirt successfully, but apparently being drunk was a fair way to find her voice. It would seem, she'd even convinced the elf in question to agree that she'd confessed something great enough to count for her dare. "Shishou~" the girl seemed almost moved to tears, that blushing face of hers only seemed to gain intensity. He wanted to prod for more, but would let her have her win. Did that mean it was effective? 'Am I good at this?' she asked of herself. 'We're fucking great at this! Remember to reward our Shishou for choosing right this time~' said Sinais. Ah, right, they'd punished him for choosing wrong, so rewarding him for choosing right was the only sensible thing to do, right? "Shishou, I wouldn't mind sharing a bit more if you're really interested. It'd only be a just reward since you also confessed~" she flirted gently, with just a hint of deviousness playing across her eyes. Of course, in doing this she was having quite a good time, feeling that throbbing under her curves and envisioning with that hyper-active imagination, just how easy it could be to... do exactly what she'd mentioned. 'Why are you so fucking extreme?!' Yume questioned the girl directly and she had the grace to look embarrassed and shrug not so casually from her perch atop her mentor's lap.

Of course, this would do nothing for Charles. He'd been caught on his lack of drinks and every person playing the game, bar Yuuya. it would seem even his partner was aware of his apparent lack of drinking enough that she commented on it. His answer was to drink, directly from his grail, about triple the amount of every other drink and to take three dares. But while all of this was being stated there was something else, he'd mentioned Sakura's name in a rather meme like fashion, moreover, he'd shortened it. Sakura's eyes widened just a bit and seemed to gain some depth of light to them. She felt something like a thump in her chest and maybe one deeper than that. Without her soul active she couldn't truly tell what it was, but she was quite certain it was pleasant. "Oh? Is that what that looks like from the outside?" asked Yume, and it would be Anais who confirmed even while snuggling up to continue speaking in hushed tones with her mentor. "That is exactly what that looks like from the outside... I didn't think i'd see such an expression on anyone else," Anais mentioned. "Oh? Mi-chan did someone say your name and surprise you with it? Was it Mon-sama?" she asked the girl. "Yes, and we aren't talking about it right now," Anais mentioned with her nose turned up. Still there was the matter of Charles other choices. "First you've now decided your form of address for her, whether you fully realize it already or not. Second, I mean I get not having much else to say without outing yourself completely but are you sure you want three dares?" Anais offered. He could confess and she'd accept it. "Iia, Mi-chan... let the man be brave... I've gone one that will help," Yume mentioned as if she wasn't a demon. "Go ahead, and tell Saku-chan something secret and given the way she is... I'm sure she'll let us know if it doesn't count. Consider that a dare from your friendly party demon~" Yume offered with a smile on her face. Ah, that kind of dare was right up her alley and would help both of the people she was looking at right now, handling a situation that hadn't yet become a problem. This was her nature as a person.

In the meantime, Martha was being given a different sort of lesson. The words apparently being shared between them had purpose and meaning and this lesson included how they were received. She hadn't thought of anything like this before, she had no reason to... sex hadn't ever been so engaging before this very moment. Ah and more engaging it would become as her nipples were finally freed and the small bodied Astolfo proved part of his strength. He thrusted into the bigger woman and settled in by her ear. He shared some words with her while her body adjusted to the added force were rather startling. Her eyes widened at that whispered confession and her insides seemed to squeeze even tighter. It was odd for her to think he was actually so interested in sex with her... though she found his words to be vulgar but also somehow very flattering. "That's a really embarrassing thing to hear... I don't hate that sort of honesty though," she replied honestly. In truth her body was much better at reacting than she was at offering words in moments like these. "It doesn't sound like too bad an idea, we'll be landing pretty soon, after all..." she said aloud. But she had another thought, 'Maybe if you're exhausted and beaten up... we can actually get to our next destination without you being ridiculous on the way...' she thought finding it to be acceptable.

Still having naught to do with the game at hand, Ailen found a confession quite fitting at the time. Anais's initial reaction was something he'd come to expect, but the remainder was a bit of a shock. She wasn't the only one suffering an overactive imagination. By the sound of her words, it seemed the elafia even intended to humor his curiosity as... remuneration for the honest confession. "Oh? Well, I could hardly call myself a scholar if I did anything but accept. All knowledge has its purpose, and I'm sure anything I hear from you will be of great benefit down the line," he declared. If nothing else, the other two males in the room were none the wiser to their conversation's true meaning. It all seemed like innocent dribble between student and teacher ─ perhaps with the former being something of a teacher's pet. How little they knew.

Beyond that, it seemed Charlemagne hit some sort of nerve with his random outburst. Addressing Sakura prompted a reaction he didn't think existed anywhere in the lass. Moreover, he wasn't the only one who took note of it. According to Anais, the way he addressed Sakura had been determined in that moment. He hadn't even thought about what he was saying before it fell from his mouth, but... he also didn't think Sakura even knew how to emote. "Huh? I... don't even know what just happened," he muttered. As for the number of dares he was taking, Charlemagne would not back down. Three was the number decided, so three would be the number he took. Yume was quick to produce one... albeit a terrible one. He sighed immediately. Without a doubt, she was always going to be the one with an effective dare. At least he had about a thousand secrets that could be shared with Sakura, and a much easier time telling them than he would have had sober. Only moments after receiving the dare, a hand was cupped around Sakura's ear while his lips closed in to whisper. "Alright, uh... remember that whole under-the-table thing earlier? Does it count if I admit to wishing there was a table with you under it while that whole thing was being talked about? Because that kind of stuff has been living rent-free in my head this whole ride, and I could really use a fix of some sort─"

Martha was learning the tricks of the trade quickly. No matter what she had to say, the saint couldn't escape the reaction he felt from her body. That added grip didn't come from his movement alone ─ it was far too delayed for that. No, she heard his proclamation and found it arousing, surely. Embarrassing? Perhaps it was. Even embarrassed though, Martha remained honest in admitting her acceptance. "Waha! See what I mean? Just imagine what'll happen to a guy if he hears that sort of thing from a saint. You could see something out of this world just by throwing the right words together~" he goaded. Astolfo wasn't sure if his urging would have positive results, but the true victory was Martha agreeing to his idea. Soon, they would land. Fooling around on a sky carriage was exciting for a start, but that forest below had many more opportunities. He could finally go wild! "Oooh, we're landing? Got any ideas?" he wondered. In the mind of Astolfo, all changes opened new paths. As he saw things, Martha surely had some sort of thought related to a post-landing location/position change.

The pair of teacher and student seemed to be quite into their discussion. Though nothing was said which could have indicated anything was amiss, the things they were actually discussing in context were much more devious than they'd let on. "Hai hai, sharing information is a great foundation for a scholar~" she teased. Just the same, that little image she had of herself occupying his lap in the forest seemed to grow with ever throb beneath her rear. Drinking had not helped her control her inhibitions. If nothing else, her imagination seemed to run wild immediately and the fever pitch of her body would be following soon after. She'd continue whispering to her mentor, "Shishou..." she whispered. "That duet in the forest sounds more appealing by the second. I figure I'll end up singing along while you play~ I can almost feel it now... it's really distracting you know~" the lass questioned in a teasing way. Why she was still admitting these things in soft whispers to her mentor she didn't know, but somehow it was made better by doing so. At the same time Yume couldn't help but wonder how her friend made such innocuous words sound so dirty. No wonder she couldn't read a novel without blushing, how many metaphors did she take from common language. 'And here I thought Ai and i were the words people~' she teased the other girl just a bit.

Allt he while, Charles was acing on his dare and the ears of Sakura were graced by an admittance. Apparently Charles had given consideration to being drunk under the table in the way that Sakura had interpreted it. Oh? Her left brow rose in the most teasing manner yet. She didn't often think this lad would be the kind to admit such things, but something about it made her wish to act. Ah, but that desire for a table wasn't his alone either... she'd have to keep that in mind. Still... she was feeling something interesting. She would have called it the call of creation, but her soul was inactive so why was she aroused? Still... she knew that heat between her thighs was something she understood from a physical standpoint though nothing physical or spiritual had caused it. But nothing could stop that wicked smile spreading across her face. "I am sure that works," she said though when she turned to look at Charles her face bore that slightly unnerving smile she seemed to have whenever she was feeling particularly predatory. "Oi, you didn't have to tell us... I could tell by the look on your face~" Yume chimed. "Oh and it means you're calling her Saku from now on, I got a bit lost in the sauce for a second there~" she added. Anais paused her teasing of her mentor for a single moment to think of a dare for Charles and with her mind already working on a specific wavelength. "I dare you to sing the most recognizable lyric from your favorite song..." she offered. Her own musical choice not withstanding it was always one of her favorite dares, mostly because musical tastes varied greatly.

Moving on from that, Martha was sure that landing would be happening soon. The island they approached was one she'd visited before and happened to house a rather dense forest full of high level creatures. But for the day near the edges, that place could be rather quiet and calming. The words that had been spoken by Astolfo she didn't have much to say. "Still don't think I'd say something like that..." Martha claimed. It wasn't that she didn't understand the appeal, it was simply that she didn't current feel the necessity or desire to share such words. But the information could potentially be useful. As for her current desires and those of the near future. "I might have a few it mostly depends on where we land... I could think of a few places to cross off a potential bucket list... now that we've done the flying related one~" she stated. Well, at the very least they had to be open to a few positional changes since helping Astolfo finish currently involved methods that wouldn't end in her impregnation, even if she currently liked how deeply the man was planted within her womb right now and the thought of him releasing himself within left her clenching and throbbing with the desire for his release. Weird, she'd never had such an ideation before... was it the lack of condom or was it something else?
