Astolfo was right. After catching a glance she couldn't really look away. Still she had no intention of saying anything about that. She already had enough on her plate to deal with, she didn't want to add anything else to her potential problem. No, she had too much to deal with, and now they were in front of a king and queen maybe and talking about the issues of Charles. She didn't like the way that sounded.
According to the man addressed as honorably as one could address their father, Sakura was being reserved and hadn't exhausted all options she was capable of. This was true to an extent, she was capable of providing the lad more mana, since his was leaking out and breaking his body but he didn't seem to want that. "I did give him some mana, but when I did... he fractured more. The quality of his being didn't negatively react to me, and he wasn't rejecting me. He tastes of a trio of mana sources, his own... a goddess and a god... but he also can't talk right now. Everything he tries seems to break his body more, but I feel like he wouldn't merely die if he broke apart," Sakura expressed her understanding of the situation based solely on her observations of his mana and what she got out of him a moment ago. First the black haired goddess looked at the bowed girl who'd offered an apology. "Aren't you an uncommonly polite child. No matter, if you happened to witness the majesty of a goddess you should watch and learn something... but I am more interested in finding out what happened here..." she said. "Goddess??" there was abject confusion on the fact of Anais. But it would be put aside for a while.
And then there was a new entry into the room, a tall elf who was quite frankly a gorgeous man. It seemed that he was known by all in the room, and acting rather familiar, there were even pet names. "Tou-chan, these are the stars that fell from the sky a bit ago... Kaa-sama was saying his core his broken. I was trying to help, but the problem became complex," she said clearly. All the while Anais was staring at this new man and her confusion was only growing in several directions and none of them were good. Miwa would begin speaking again, as she casually walked circles around Charles body. "We all know how he is, I was just going to shift the schedule around a bit... but this is strange. This lad's core is broken so far that he barely has anything of himself left. I am actually surprised... and you were right Saku-chan~" she said giving an approving look to her daughter. "If he shatters and can't bring himself back together, he won't die, he'll cease to exist. Death would be much more pleasant, she's a very nice girl," she explained. "But I should be able to..." she stared at the lad and began writing a magical formula. One which she'd use to create a form of stasis around Charles. It would stop the flow of his mana, stop the movements of his individual pieces and make it so he'd be capable of physical movements but not that which required the use of his magic circuits or anything related to his core. Basically it'd make him live like a broken human. He'd probably still experience something of an emptiness in his chest, but he should at least be capable of communication. "Can you talk now? Tell me how this happened..." Miwa said seeming to leave no options.
