[listen, Rei, this isn't how he'd have you find out he's a bit of a slut, but here we are. beyond the fact that Eiden was here to also encourage him? he's been more worried about everyone around him than himself, which tracks even with what the other man knows—but he has at least been careful to not, y'know, forget silly things like food and sleep again.]
Mm... well, there was the party they threw before, with some of the candies they had. The ones that affected me were akin to acute essence imbalance—dizziness, distraction, racing heart and flushed skin, along with deep desire. There was none of the pain associated with the imbalance, though... I didn't realise it was anything odd at first, since it originally happened with someone I've spoken to a fair bit and who I got along with.
[this is... sure a way to figure out how unpriestly Olivine actually is, fun times. he'll eschew the repetitions though, and incidental additions that were... most assuredly helped along by his own interest. no sense in skewing the data points. especially since there are a fair lot of data points, as the priest is pretty in tune with his own body.]
More recently, I was in the caves near the spa, where there were... octopi, I think? Their touch left similar symptoms, but much more deeply rooted. It was— [similar to what he'd felt in the wake of the cult situation, but it occurs to Olivine in that moment that Rei won't have a damned clue about that. this much does finally set him to not quite squirming to recall it, that embarrassment finally sneaking its way in to the factual recollection of it all.] ... it was like little I'd ever felt before. Not as painful as my circumstances leading to our meeting, but I couldn't focus on much of anything. I felt so hot I could barely move, like I was drowning in sensation. I'm used to being sensitive, but even the air was making it worse, painful. When Basch arrived, I was practically delirious from the first touch on.
I'm fairly certain my essence is normal now, but if you'd like to check, I don't have any reason to refuse. And—I think the bigger question is who would be willing to let you observe, probably. [absolutely not. most of the people who have banged the hell out of Olivine would happily do it in front of God himself if they could. or with Rei, since almost all of them are menaces.] But wouldn't it be easier to test your own essence, in any case?
