Anais would avoid letting her internal voice get in the way of her normal developments, even though, it was contributing greatly to her progress. Here and now, Ailen seemed content to remain rather close while also questioning the life experience of the young Elafia. "Until Fier, I was the newest member to the group... I wasn't around when everyone was fighting in wars or going on big adventures," she explained of her situation. It gave context to how out of place she felt being tossed out into this one instead of it being one of the others. Technically this could count as Anais's first big adventure without one of the others being around for her to lean on. Strangely, Ailen showed his own status, and it was rather interesting to look at. The most interesting thing, being his level which was far higher than any in their group, even the stronger members were only about eighty in level. "Sugoi! You're really amazing, Shishou~" she murmured. Still, there were things she couldn't see... she wouldn't pry as everyone was entitled to their privacy but she did comment in a strange way... "Hm, the only person I've seen with anything redacted before is Ness... and that's just her race..." she mused, no more no less. She supposed, given everything she knew about their difference in level a bit of extra made sense. But according to Ailen she was basically an expert Alchemist after receiving knowledge from him, he'd have expected more growth... "Really, am I actually already an expert?" she gave it a bit of consideration. Choosing to think to the ingredients she could list and know their uses of, she thought of what he'd been doing before and immediately understood the workings of that potion. "Sou ka... I guess I do understand completely what you were trying to do with those ingredients, and I understand a lot of other things too... learning stuff this way is so... cool!~" she exclaimed her eyes sparkling. This truly might be one of the best things she'd ever undertaken. 'And now there would definitely be time to figure out all the extra credit stuff~' her mind was a terrible place.
At the same time, Charles was explaining the amount of faith placed in Sakura to keep him on the straight and narrow. He seemed to equate her actions to things that went beyond the simple necessities of right and wrong. Her willingness to go about it for the long haul also seemed to contribute to this trust he claimed to have. Sakura may not have completely understood, but she supposed in this case, her actions equated to a merit, determined by Charles. "Sou ka, if you say so... I'll believe you. Though I find it strange, I suppose it is the sort of thing that can't be measured empirically," she mused. Whether she would need him to raise their future off-spring or not, the scantily clad nun was definitely something worth drawing their attention away for. Charles's response to her, was something noted by Sakura and she watched as the lad shed a tear. The woman with her large red eyes seemed to be looking at the lad intently, that was such an emotional response, she found herself approaching just a little, to answer his question but also to comfort him, he seemed to need it. "To you, little one, I should be no one... but the one who tried to steal your life, used to call me his wife so I suppose he left behind a bit more of himself than he meant to. Well, he definitely did. I suppose it should be taken as the world forcing the change he refused to make..." she mused as she reached for his face to wipe away his tears. "I'm surprised. That you can see me without it causing you pain, means you're definitely not aimed down the same path..." she stated as if this made sense. Of course, she'd seen quite a bit since coming to the Void, so she was aware of Charles and all he did.
