And when in Rome...
You do as the romans do.
He walked around to the inside of the interior circle, motioning to Kaguya to take the respective seat on the exterior, to which she had no objection. They each sat down and Jehnova took out his phone, activating the glasses. He had fiddled around with the settings last night in preparation, and had discovered some new functions. Most notably, a customization feature, to change the visuals of the glasses depending on the function. It would come in handy for any potential diversions or in the occasional non-hypnotic use cases. Almost like she was listening in, Kaguya demonstrated such a scenario.
"Now then, can you show me more of that thing's 'features'," she asked, receiving a shift in Jehnova's expression, from a competitive grin to something gentler, more akin to a father showing his child a video he hopes they would find funny. He clicked on the 'Lust' option, with the glasses responding accordingly, forming the neon lights into a simplistic picture of a man on the left lens. "I figured out how make a pattern of my own out of the lights," and on cue, the light man began to do some simple movement, jumping jacks followed by a cartwheel to the other lens. She looked with some confusion, but less so than with amusement and slight intrigue, following the little neon man as he moved to and fro across the glasses.
He figured that since he was already there, he would use the moment of distraction to mess with the actual function of the 'Lust' button. He didn't want to start out high, so he just went to a low 5%. After all, while 15% was fairly strong for him, she'd be fine, right? Apparently not, or maybe he just underestimated how much 5% really was, because he saw the effects almost immediately.
She stopped tracking the light man, and Jehnova could tell she wasn't really looking at much of anything for the moment. Her perfect posture and fairly calm expression faltered just a bit, with her leaning over, grabbing the desk for support, lip forming an 'o' as she took in a sharp inhale and let out a drawn-out exhale. Same as yesterday, she caught herself, quickly restabilizing herself, although a light blush had set in and her breath seemed to be manual and controlled. She tried to brush it off, saying "I see, I see. I d-do appreciate you t-taking the effort to make your own effects."
"Why thank you," he replied. He made sure he had set it to 5%, but wasn't quite sure where to go from there, so he simply asked, "Hey, are you alright? You look a little off." She looked away, answering "Um, yeah I'm fine, p-perfectly alright, thank you very much." Obviously, Jehnova knew otherwise, but was admittedly still a little concerned, despite it probably being his fault she was trying to not lose her composure. He turned off the glasses to ensure it wouldn't get any worse then took them off to get a better look, setting them down on the table.
"You're certain you don't have a fever or something? Actually, here, let me," he said, putting his hand on her forehead. For the second his hand touched her, he could feel how warm she was, like her brain was fire. Her whole body tensed and she jumped up in her seat before relaxing entirely. She snapped back to reality, taking his hand off with very sudden ****, equally forcefully saying (nearly shouting) "NO, NO, no, t-that won't b-be n-necessary. That w-will n-not be necessary." He took his hand back, looking at her with suprise that very quickly went back to concern.
Any semblance of the stability and calm demeanor he had come to expect from her totally evaporated. She was breathing heavily, and his hand had sweat left over from the mere moment she had held it. The two wiped their hands on their shirts, Kaguya leaving a stain, despite her shirt being black. The blush had set in much deeper, now a bright red, and he could see sweat running down her chin and dripping onto the chair. She wiped her face with her sleeve, but the sweat came back a moment later. She looked around and drummed her fingers on the table restlessly, with an expression equally as concerned as Jehnova's.
He couldn't get a good look, since she was avoiding eye contact, but he could see some things in her eyes and her body language that weren't there before. Things he could never imagine a pillar of beauty and intelligence showing. She fixated on a certain point in space, slowing down her fingers for a moment, one hand moving down below the desk before being forcibly jerked up like it moved without her telling it to. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but didn't get the chance to because he was interrupted by Kaguya awkwardly proclaiming "I-I'm sorry, M-Mr.Jehnova, but I reallyhavetogoillseeyou o-oh c-crap..."
She was probably trying to cut the meeting short, but failed on account of the fact that the moment she tried to stand, she apparently couldn't, grabbing the desk and chair for support. When he got up to help her, she tried to stop him, pleading "Waitwaitwait, you c-can s-sit down, Mr. Jehnova. You d-don't have t-to..." But he was adamant. He had turned the glasses off a bit ago, meaning there was something else going on here. Also, he couldn't just sit there while she had such an **** reaction, even if it might very well be his fault.
As he made his way over, she **** her legs to stay upright in an attempt to get him to sit back down. Despite how severly her knees were shaking, she made her best attempt at appearing steady, forcing her face into a strained smils. "S-See, I'm f-fine! You c-can sit back down n-now," she said in an attempt to stop his advance. It was no use. She tried to back away, but what little composure she somehow conjured up was moot the moment she tried to move. Her legs gave out and despite her arms trying their hardest to hold on to the desks, she fell to the floor.
He got over to where Kaguya Fortuna had fallen down. She desperately tried to get him to stop approaching. "STOP! Please... no... you don't understand..."
He could tell she didn't want him to help, but something told him she needed him_ _to. So, he took a deep breath, got down on one knee, outsretched his hand, and said to her...
"I humbly request...
