Albinia looked up. "Do I?" She asked. She supposed this was enough to actually make her expression obvious. She wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad sign. "It is a less of something being a matter as pondering how hands on I want to be with this experiment the Research Center is doing," she said, gesturing to the device.
"Its to collect energy from intercourse. Touch energy is a documented fact and some scientists believe the more intimate the act, the more energy that can be contained. I have been curious if its a simple cumulative effect from just prolonged contact, or if its exponential with the type being an actual factor," she said.
If there's anything she can say without shame, its a hypothesis.
“Ah…!” Nanoha blushed a little but recovered. Oh, she should talk to Usagi about this.
“But, I could see the idea of intercourse having an effect on Touch Energy. It might be a stronger source, but I would think it would also be limited…”
"It seems doubtful that is a problem, at least in the efforts to collect samples. To attempt to gather the energy in the moment would be ill advised, but when it comes to people being willing, the population is very..." Albinia paused, looking out at the world at large. "....let's say very free with their affections."
"My world was not quite so free as this place, no," Albinia said. At least, not in the past. Its amazing what trying to recover from a world ending event will result in.
"The touch energy is a likely factor. It encourages closeness overall. Though with those brought here...that part I have yet to figure out." It made sense back home because the people they brought in had died, and there was constant danger anyway, it encouraged a 'you only live once' mentality. Ellipsa was a lot...
"Random chance," Albinia said. "The receiving of seasonal powers would be an affect of entering this world. Being pulled along like that through the space between worlds makes people malleable. Things get lost, and things can become attached. As for why we were grabbed, it would be chance."
“Hmm… never thought of it like that. It would make sense. I wonder if that also goes for our feelings.” Nanoha said. “Like being able to act or feel one way when we couldn’t before.”
"It is more likely that is 'being able to act.' It is rather common for people to default to the most common form of romantic and sexual expression of their society until they are either exposed to examples of their true orientation, or have targets for their affection where its strong enough to cause confusion that will hopefully lead to understanding," Albinia said. "Polyamory isn't so odd an orientation as some societies can lead people to believe."
“I see… that would make sense, actually. I just never thought I would have it happen to me.” She said. She smiled at her before testing things out, reaching over to take her hand.
"Its not something I keep secret. I'm an ice goddess. As well as other domains," Albinia said. She looked down at their hands. "People are...often affectionate." He pauses, and turns her hand in Nanoha's. "Are you offering to help with the experiment?"
And Nanoha would stand up with her. "How about your place? It's your experiment and it would be better if we had a central place to stay at without having to go all over."
Albinia nodded, a slight red to her cheeks. "True. One should never rush science if they don't have to," she said, leading the way back to the apartments.

I hope you don't mind a late tag?
Date: 2024-01-01 02:46 pm (UTC)Nanoha had noticed Albinia sitting outside the Research Center with the strange device.
"You look like you're confused..."
I am always down for backtags

She knows better. She doesn't always touch as often as she should.
Though she is notably cool to the touch.

And she starts to entwine her fingers with Albinia's.

Date: 2024-01-07 11:58 pm (UTC)Albinia considers. She had been thinking about taking part. If she was curious, and Nanoha was willing...
She finally nods, standing up, holding the device close to her. "Do you have a preferred place?"
