World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord

Chapter 174 Xan's Training

"-and I just think Luna has just gotten too obsessed with sex lately. I don't know if this is because she's matured or because she's awakened to her succubi nature. But frankly, I don't always know how to deal with it." Van admitted as his double took notes on a plush chair. "And another problem is... I don't know if that's a bad thing... she's so much happier than she was before..." he then turned his head to look at his double from the couch he was laying on. "Is it bad that I kinda wish for a little bit of the old Luna back?"

The double wrote a few more things down on his clipboard, nodding to himself before putting it down and addressing Van's concerns. "It's not wrong to wish that, Van... but the real question I think you are worried about... is how you feel now, correct? And your worry for Luna?" leaning back and placing his hands together on his lap, looking at his true self and speaking with a tone of surety. "You've almost spent a month reframing from any and all sexual intercourse... and while at first, it was... hard... you are beginning to feel... otherwise... correct? So it scares you a little that Luna doesn't feel the same..."

Van felt a little uncomfortable for a few seconds before agreeing. "Ya... at first... it was hard... but after a while... I actually felt like my head has gotten a lot clearer than before. While on the other hand, Luna actually seems to be suffering... and yet..."

"And yet Luna seems to be improving her aura at a faster rate than you..." the double finished for Van. "Van... before you awakened to your incubi nature... you were largely disinterested in sex other than to do it as a duty... sometimes of course... there were exceptions... and when you did do it, you enjoyed it... but you never really actively sought it out... Until now... and now that you had some time to take a step back from your new desires, you feel more clear-headed than before... while on the other hand, the opposite seems to be happening to Luna... so you worry for, at the same time, you are confused as to why her growth in aura is greater than yours. You are scared and jealous, your feelings on the matter are jumbled up, am I correct?"

"I don't know... but I am confused..." Van admitted. "I feel like if Luna really wanted to, she could survive a month without sex no problem... but... now... I'm not so sure... it could be that only because it's denied to her she's acting like this, otherwise, this wouldn't be happening to her. Not to mention, her aura is increasing by leaps and bounds... aren't we experiencing the same restrictions? I knew her growth was crazy... but I didn't know she was a genius when it comes to aura and hand-to-hand martial arts..."

"Well... you just answered your question right there." the double said. Making Van look up once more. "Van... you admitted she's a genius when it comes to aura and martial arts, and you admitted you feel clear-headed after almost a month of abstinence. Surely you can figure out why now, right?"

The double the looked his true self in the eye. "Van... the difference as to why she grew faster than you is because to you, it's not a real challenge... while for her... it's a really hard thing to do... to resist having sex with the man she loves more than anything... that's hard..." teasing Van a little.

Van blushed a little at that. "Ya... maybe you have a point... but about that other thing I mentioned..." he asked worriedly.

The double took a look at his notes. "Yes... you are worried that Luna has somehow gotten dumber, correct? I can't fault you for that, but..." looking back at Van. "I believe all she needs is some help... a lot has changed for the both of you in just a few months... before you, two didn't really have the time to grow accustomed to it, or acknowledge it, or grow into your new selves... I think you two should talk to each other about your worries and come to a conclusion yourselves to not just help Luna but the both of you. At least that's my advice..."
