Knowing your Sex Genie

"All right, I'll try to start with where the lamp came from. It's the more complicated part, after all." Sothis sighed as she thought about how to phrase it. "The short answer is it was thrown through the multiverse and happened to land near us. And I can already tell I lost you at 'multiverse'." She looked back at Byleth, who was mid-hand raise before he put it down. "Well, you know how I can rewind time right?" Her master nodded before she continued. "Well, when we first did it, try to imagine that there was a timeline where you did die to the axe in your back, and this one where you didn't." Another nod. "Good. Now imagine that happening for every possibility, and you get what we call the Multiverse." Byleth's face was as neutral as ever, but she could almost hear the gears very slowly turning in his head. It was an oversimplified explanation, but it was the part least relevant to what he wanted to know.

"Now, according to the lamp, it landed near us with the intention of causing lewd things to happen. Shocking, I know." Sothis went on. "I'll admit, I wasn't a fan of it happening to me without warning. But the great irony here is the the captivity has felt... well, freeing. And one of the big things I've been enjoying is serving a Master - in this case, you." She gave him a big smile.

"The next thing I imagine you want to know is the question of how much of me is 'me'." Sothis provided some air quotes with the second 'me'. "Well, it's tricky to say. I know that I was able to bond with the merging fairly easily because of what I am, whatever that is, but my lack of memories makes telling the difference tricky. I'd guess 50/50, but that's just an estimate." She shrugged as she shook her head. "All I can really say is that I wasn't this interested in Sex before."

Byleth raised his hand again. The irony of the new Professor acting like a student was not lost on Sothis. "Yes, Master?"

"Well, I've gotten the impression you enjoy being a sex genie." Byleth started. "But I was wondering how you differ from those other genies."

Sothis nodded. Honestly, she'd gotten so caught up in describing her situation, she'd almost forgotten the comparison point.

"Well, the genies in those stories you read aren't entirely inaccurate, though as far as I know, none of them are native to this particular world.They are known to be tricksters, and while they only give someone three wishes, there are no rules on what wishes they can grant. As opposed to a Sex Genie like myself, whose wishes must be related to sex, but I have no limit on the number of wishes I can grant for my master." Sothis stuck out her chest proudly at this point. Byleth nodding along, this tracked with what he had experienced with the number of wishes he'd already made.

"Hypothetically, I can already tell you don't want to, but what would happen if I tried to wish you free?" He was glad he'd already clarified, given Sothis's face went a bit paler for a second. "Well, you got my opinion down right, but the simple answer is that it would simply try and locate a different host to be Genie, most likely you."

"And what if I had tried to smash it open with a sword?"

"... I doubt it would work, but I don't actually know what would happen if it did." Sothis pondered. She knew the lamp was effectively indestructible, but it was a big multiverse out there.

"Last question, then. Am I correct in assuming you would end up happily serving anyone who had your lamp?"

"Yeah, that is how it works. Honestly, that's the one thing that sort of bothers me about this."
