"I'm a sword," Enserric says. "...I suppose I can lock the door telekinetically, and you don't know where the key is... yes, fine."

"Alright. Alright. I hope you're not too bothered by the view."

He will cast the Arouse spell.

He's suddenly very turned on.

(Well, not that suddenly. He's a permaspringing Amentan. But it's definitely a spike. And speaking of spikes, he's hard as a rock.)

Teo lets out an involuntary moan, not exactly of pleasure, there is quite a bit of surprise.

Can he try control himself? He tries to keep his hands to his side...

Well, he doesn't know if the tension of his dick will be against the highly resistant and super-durable fabric. Surely there is nothing bad if he pulls his pants down. There.

He could control himself. It's not completely overwhelming, just very insistent.

It kind of doesn't look like he wants to, though.

(Enserric, on the dresser, appears to have him completely tuned out. He's muttering something about... sandwiches?)

Teo is tuning out Enserric as well. They can tune each other out together. Or apart. Or whatever. Teo will just grab his dick and be done with it.

It doesn't take him very long; Arouse heightens physical sensitivity, in addition to its other advertised effects.

When he's done, Enserric gives him a minute to clean up, then clears his nonexistent throat. "If you're finished being biological, I'd like to recommend we take a short walk and work on your swordsmanship. The best way to get used to a new weapon is to beat the living hell out of someone, no?"

Teo puts his pants on again, without a hint of shame. "Sure. Just be patient with the blue."

"What does that mean?" Enserric wonders.

"Oh, right. My people are divided in a caste system. I am Blue, which does politics and land-ownership."

"Well, we all have our flaws," Enserric says philosophically.

Shrug. He picks Enserric up and goes outside. "Besides goblins, what else are we likely to find around these parts?"

"Hmm. In the forest, where we're going, you may encounter imps, which are about as threatening as goblins; both stand about three feet tall, and can be easily defeated unless they come for you in a group, which is unlikely. You may encounter bee-folk, who are moderately dangerous but won't attack you unless you attack them first. You might encounter a tentacle beast, but you shouldn't, because I can recognize the signs of a tentacle beast lair and guide you away from them. If you do somehow encounter one, run like hell. Those are the only forest natives I know of."

"Joy," he says in the mirthless tone he can muster. "what is the procedure if I do find bee-folk or other non-hostiles?" He opens the door. "Should I take my hovercyle, or do you think that will distract from the lesson?"

"I always thought a nice long walk was invigorating, back when I had legs," Enserric reminisces. "But that's just me. Hover if you wish. If you encounter bee-folk, greet them, engage them in conversation if you wish, and politely but firmly refuse to be implanted with their eggs. Unless you want to incubate bee-folk eggs, I suppose. I'm sure they'd appreciate it."

Teo decides to bring his hovercyle and to not ask if the bee-folk larvae are cute and soft like babies. "Small steps." He keeps the hovercycle at his side instead of riding it. If anything gets too dangerous it should be use to mount it and run away.

Enserric hums to himself as they approach the forest.

The forest itself is rather lovely; it's lush and verdant, and natural in a way Teo may never have seen before, considering the industrialization of his home planet.

Within minutes, he's approached by a tiny green woman with enormous breasts. "Time to get fucked, stud," she says ominously, unsheathing a knife.

"Excellent," Enserric says happily. "Now stab her."

So it's that kind of practical teaching method.

Okay, he can do this. That creature is no different from a springing mad rapist that tries to force themselves upon people. And that's a punishable offense in his homeworld. Teo knows about it, and he agreed it's a fair sentence. In Amenta.

Sigh. Teo swings Enserric to disarm the goblin.

The cheap scrap iron of the dagger shatters in the goblin's hand. One particularly energetic shard of metal scores a deep line down her arm, which bleeds freely... before healing over almost instantly, leaving unbroken green skin in its wake.

The goblin drops the hilt of the knife and shakes her hand out, cursing up a storm, then punches Teo in the dick. It's surprisingly forceful, given the goblin's petite frame and even more petite stature. 

That admitedly hurts somewhat, but it turns out that futuristic armor comes with protection to key areas. How does the goblin feel about being twacked with the flat side of the blade. "Surrender, foul beast!"

She is: mildly confused! The slap doesn't even leave a mark on her skin; Enserric's blade doesn't have much heft to it.

"This is just undignified," Enserric says balefully. "Stop fucking around and use the pointy bits!"

The goblin nods. "It's not really fair if you don't fight back, sweetheart," she says. "I'm a big girl, you can stab me."

"Do you want to die??"

"Whoa, hey, never said anything about that," the goblin says, raising her hands. "I'm not into that shit."

Enserric groans. "Oh, of course - in your world do people just die when they're hurt badly enough? That's not how it works here. In civilized universes, like our own, murder only works if you do it on purpose. If you get hurt and you don't want to be, you can just... not be. Which takes a bit of energy, and if you get hurt badly enough you'll probably pass out. I apologize, that must have been terribly confusing."

The goblin listens in fascination. "Damn, swordboy, where'd you get this guy? Also, kid, what kind of hair dye do you use? Because I've been getting kind of tired of purple."

"Okay, that's much better. Yay, for civilized universes." He tells Enserric, without taking his eyes from the goblin. "It's not dye. It's a natural hair color for my species."

"Well, shit. Guess I'll just have to console myself with some alien dick."

This said, she launches herself up Teo's torso and manages to punch him in the nose, breaking it rather painfully.

There's a feeling somewhere to the left of Teo's conscious mind that he could fix his nose, that this isn't how it's supposed to be.
