"Something to add to the list to research." Time for more kissing.

Eeee kissing~

After a while of this, "Wait- Gah! I had a class!"

"—oops? I'd kinda assumed you meant to skip it after the thing with Leah, should I zip you there?" He looks down at the stickiness between them. "Perhaps after a quick shower?"

"It's been, what, half an hour? ...No, just skip the rest at this point. Grr. Yes on the shower though, and I want to start diagramming a processor and other computer bits using your backup of half of wikipedia. Make the progress we can before securing silicon."

"Thirty-seven minutes," he murmurs, "and I have a basic diagram memorised, I can show you it. But later, shower first." He hops up and offers his hand.

He takes it, shower happens.

And in spite of the absence of a refractory period he will not do anything to lengthen the shower (unless Terel feels tempted).

(He mmmmight want to soap Terel up.)

....You know what, sure.

Eeeeeee Terel~

He's not at 'eeee Sadde' but is definitely heading that way as time passes.

And after shower (and who needs clothes? Sadde certainly doesn't) there's diagramming!

Terel does, in fact, dress first.

Diagramming goes productively until he actually remembers to go to his 4 PM class.

"Have fun in class, love," he tells Terel, and then it's after other methods of painkilling.

A medium-ish bribe and a 'you didn't get this from me' get him the other two ketamine-equivalents. One does nothing, one knocks him out cold for about twenty minutes until he wakes up very thirsty.

Hoooooly shoot thank goodness he's not near anyone and blood blood blood what the heck was that he has several questions but for now he generates blood. This one is a no.

Amulets, can they be made?

...Yes? This is a world-renowned magic university town, after all. Private commissions are quite pricey for the more rare and esoteric stuff, and take a while too, it might be faster and cheaper to hop over to windvale again and trawl the markets and malls.

Hmm, ballpark of the price?

Hundred thousands or thereabouts.

New:

• Painlessness: 200000, 2 weeks on rush order.
• Oversensitivity cure: 250000, 2 weeks on rush order.
• High-powered defensive thing for squishy squishy Terel: 100000, 1 week on rush order.
• High-powered healing thing for squishy squishy Terel: 150000, 1 week on rush order.
• Lifeline amulet pair, if he still wants one: 125000, 4 days on rush order.

Used:

• Painlessness: 150000, hard to find.
• Oversensitivity cure: 175000, hard to find.
• High-powered defensive thing for squishy squishy Terel: 45000.
• High-powered healing thing for squishy squishy Terel: 65000.
• Lifeline amulet pair, if he still wants one: 75000.

Are the used ones as good as the not used ones, as far as effect goes? How hard to find are we talking, here?

You'd definitely have to go to Windvale, or track down that guy's friend of a friend of a friend, is how hard to find.

The used ones are older and so in worse condition, and have no customization on look, trigger conditions, or any fiddly technical details to make tradeoffs on how they'll work.

Yeah it'll probably be Windvale. But not today. Today he's waiting on a call about sourcing more magic materials and his graduate course will only start in several weeks... So he goes to the library to read/memorise more books.

Books are available! 

What passes for science here, Millennia of magic research, and histories from more different civilizations than Earth has ever heard of. Though the histories seem to glance right over the most violent parts.

...more than Earth history textbooks do?

Yep. He can name just half a dozen generals after 30 books.
