Something about the phrase, 'Strip, flatten, and make a groove...' was eating away at the mind of Angelica. Even as she got help from Charles, she couldn't help but hear the voice of a certain young woman in her mind. Once over drinks there was an utterance about innuendos. Words that could be taken sexually in specific contexts. Angelica in those moments, hadn't understood exactly what was meant, but here and now she was positive that Charles words could be viewed as such. Was innuendo about the state of mind of an individual... was that the missing context clue? She really needed someone to talk with, too bad her resident 'big sis' was long gone. It was tragedy, she could definitely use the advice. Though given that one's personality she was sure she would have seen this scene playing out, walked by, given a thumbs up, said aww... and left her to it. Yes that sounded right.
What didn't sound right though? The next sentence out of the mouth of Charles. He didn't know why they needed to come from the same tree or branch but he knew it would require a lot of rubbing together. "O-okay." she stuttered out. Yes, this was quite the interesting turn. She was certain that this whole situation was some sort of strange innuendo. Her mind twisted the words this man spoke and began relating them to her understanding of 'Mana Transfer'. Surely this shouldn't have been the case, but here she was... gaining a practical education to go along with her given knowledge on the subject. Somehow even on autopilot she managed to do what she needed to with the sticks. Of course, Charles mentioned they didn't have to be aesthetically pleasing simply functional. "Alright, I can manage that..." she said knowing full well her mind was several steps away from such a simple set of uses. She'd make the wedge to go along with the weird slot. Assuming it passed the test as well, she asked her next question. "Okay, what's next?" she asked her excitement was normal but she was quite distracted in addition. He was holding her quite closely, and though it was probably just to teach this activity, she was certain she liked it. There were obviously other situations in which she could be held like this right?
