"Indeed. Most exchanges would only be a day of information, a session of personal study, or perhaps a few weeks or months in some cases. What you took in that first session was closer to a human lifetime," Ailen explained. He had much information to share, from his own learnings to those of his predecessors. Some corners had to be cut in the end. To his satisfaction, Anais quickly proved her ability to take those larger deposits of knowledge. She even showed herself capable of regurgitating a decent amount here in practice, going so far as to hypothesize the potential good of three bean juice drops in the potion. "If you don't intend to drink it, either should make a functional potion. If you do still want to drink it, well... any unwanted side-effects are easily taken care of. Actually, as a calming potion at its base, you should be able to put only the necessary amount of liquid into it. The worst that would come of it with less of the binding agent included would be... hmm. I'd say the muscle relaxant would be a bit closer to paralysis. Alternatively, you could add the Basilisk Breath along with that juice to find the perfect balance early. Your options are plentiful. Much of alchemy is the order by which you do things. You may have fun experimenting with the same ingredients in different orders one day; it is amazing what one can find out."
Charlemagne had only recently stabilized himself, only to suffer an immediate dump of information he didn't want. What was someone like him supposed to do with the power to establish rules? Well, rules were one thing, but rules of reality were a very different monster to tackle. He could name people and things all day with no complaints other than the mana cost of doing so. Naming conceptual powers that didn't exist was ridiculous. On the other hand, it was pretty cool having a way to make impossible things possible. "Ugh! I need to at least find out how I can not accidentally do stuff like that. Do you know how many random opinions I speak on a regular basis? Nobody should... wait, no. I'm not going to say that. I don't know what will make another thing happen. I'm really gonna need your mom to help out on this one," he said, trying to be very careful about everything spoken.
And so, Charlemagne began a desperate grasp at clothing to situate himself before moving on. One strange issue he found in doing so was a prominent erection that he still barely understood. That thing had no reason to exist; he wasn't even thinking about sex! Ah, but it was doing enough thinking for both of them. Charlemagne was struggling his way through the simple act of donning pants past that monstrous thing, and it was probably for the best that he was being held up. Why? Well, the goddess he sought was still being made busy. Had he been able to depart immediately, he would have first met the sound of clapping, or even slamming... followed by the visual of Miwa dangling backwards over the throne, clothes torn apart and legs pushed toward the floor as Mugen continued having his way from a squatted position above. It also probably wouldn't have helped his mental stability to take note of the sea of white that had leaked out into a multitude of splotches and puddles, whether around the throne or on the involved parties. . .
