Though he would never admit it to the person in question, Eva's small stature and delicate features made the process of Nirvana Rebirth a lot easier than it otherwise would have been. The entire procedure only took around seven hours, and, though this was largely due to his familiarity with Eva's body, even Vahn was surprised with how smoothly everything went.
Having sealed away all of the malignant energy in her body, Vahn admired Eva's beauty for a few moments before ultimately flipping her over onto her stomach. Her figure was still a little underdeveloped, but, after sharing so many intimate moments with her in the past, combined with his longing to reunite with her, Vahn had grown rather attached to Eva's appearance. This didn't stop him from doing what was necessary, however, so, after tracing his palms along her impeccably smooth skin, sending a fresh wave of Source Energy into her body, Vahn pressed his index and forefingers near the base of her neck and spine before bringing them together rather 'mercilessly'.
Like a daisy chain of explosions being triggered all at once, energy flowed through all of Eva's nerves, erupting like fireworks during a celebration. Her eyes snapped open so wide that, for a brief moment, it looked like the might jump out of their sockets. At the same time, a difficult to describe expression marred her previously perfect face, a mix of abject horror, shock, and, most notably, incomprehensible pleasure. For several seconds, no sounds were produced by her throat, but, after a while, a pained and guttural moan escaped her lips as her body curled up into a ball. She had arched her back during the preliminary surge, but, after coming back to awareness, Eva put a lot of effort into restraining her moans entirely as she tightly squeezed her legs and allowed a tremble, unlike anything she had ever experienced, surge through her body.
Nirvana Rebirth always made people extremely sensitive, so, after spending seven hundred years in a state where her body rapidly regenerated and filtered out most stimulus, Eva was woefully unprepared for the sudden surge of pleasure. Her regeneration provided no bastion for her this time around, and, if not for her incredible tolerance and strong will, she wouldn't have been able to avoid crying out.
Fortunately, Vahn wasn't just there to watch, so, while Eva was curled up into a ball, his hands danced across her body, calming energy flowing into her through his palms. This was also to make sure there were no sequelae that been left behind by the Convergence of Heaven and Earth, something he constantly worried about despite having never made a mistake.
Ignoring her teary-eyed glare, Vahn continued to gently stroke Eva's body as he explained, "The procedure went without a hitch. It might be difficult right now, but this is proof that your natural biological processes have reverted to normal. Your body is sensitive due to all of your nerves and cells being restructured. Once your brain gets used to interpreting the unfamiliar stimuli, you'll be able to move around and live like a normal person…"
Even without hearing Vahn's explanation, Eva was 'very' aware of the changes that her body had undergone. Though it wasn't gone, she felt as though her vampiric attributes had been completely suppressed, her regeneration included. This filled her with extreme relief, but, as a result of the tempestuous pleasure wreaking havoc in her body, it was hard to express other emotions. She felt a sensation similar to a limb falling asleep, but, instead of an arm or a foot, it was her entire body. The most 'frustrating' sensation came from her lower body, as, despite her bladder being empty for centuries, Eva felt like she was constantly peeing herself due to the volume of fluids escaping her body…
—
Nearly half an hour later, Eva was still curled up on the massage table, but, unlike the first few minutes, she appeared completely calm as she stared toward nothing in particular. She didn't seem to mind that he was still caressing her body, so, in the hopes of hastening her recovery, even just a little, Vahn was using Petting Laws to help her relax and remain calm. He knew she was thinking about a lot of things right now, as, after seven hundred years of painful longing, she was suddenly just a 'normal' girl once again…
Without saying anything, Eva surprised Vahn slightly by suddenly tracing one of her ruby-red nails along her own palm. The razor-sharp point easily cut into her flesh, causing a 'refreshing' amount of pain as she watched her own blood begin to flow from the wound without closing up. It wasn't until Vahn grabbed her hand and traced his finger along the thin line she had cut that it began to heal, closing completely after a few seconds…
Seeing the blood that remained on her palm, even after the injury healed, Eva's mind finally began to rectify that she wasn't imagining things. As a result, a few crystalline tears began to pool at the corners of her eyes, but, before she could begin crying, Vahn surprised her quite a bit by lapping at the traces of blood on her hand. This caused her still aching body to rapidly heat up, but, instead of stopping him, Eva just watched in silence as he completely cleaned away the blood on her hand…
Though he could have wiped away the blood with a towel, Vahn felt it would leave a deeper impression on Eva's mind if he used a more intimate method to clean her injury. It wasn't too difficult to imagine her doing the same if he had an open wound, so, following her example, he took advantage of the situation, stopping just short of sucking on her fingers as he smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better…?"
Not expecting Vahn to suddenly ask her a question, Eva averted her eyes to the side, her face nearly as red as the blood that previously stained her hand as she answered, "Yes…you can let my hand go now…"
Rather than immediately obey, Vahn grasped Eva's hand with both his own, asking in a slightly hopeful tone, "Do I have to…?"
Hearing Vahn's 'plea', Eva gave him a sidelong look without turning to face him, choosing to remain completely silent before ultimately squeezing his hand as her response. This brought a relieved smile to Vahn's face and, after resting his forehead against their overlapped hands, he muttered, "Thank you…" in a sincere tone…
—
In the end, Vahn remained at Eva's side as if she were an in-patient for the better part of a day. It was only when her stomach released a tiny growl, causing her face to immediately turn beet red, that they finally changed locations.
Ignoring Eva's protests, Vahn carried her like a princess back to the bed, and, after making sure she was comfortable, he pulled out enough appliances and kitchenware to fully stock a kitchen before cooking a number of food items he knew she enjoyed. He could have pulled out fully cooked dishes, but, having learned how to cook specifically to make people happy, Vahn wanted to convey his emotions through his cooking. Eva was especially weak to such sentiments, and, as she hadn't 'officially' accepted him yet, Vahn was pulling out all the stops.
Seeing Vahn wearing an apron as he happily prepared food for her, Eva found herself tightly hugging a pillow as she watched him from the side. The aroma of the food made her stomach growl even louder, but, with most of her face concealed by the fluffy pillow, she didn't feel the urge to turn away. Rather, seeing how happy he was, Eva could feel a warmth spread through her heart, and, if not for the 'aching' of her body, she might have even smiled…
Since he didn't want to keep her waiting too long, Vahn made a plate full of saucer-sized pancakes before cutting up a few fruits into bite-sized pieces and baking them in the oven for a few minutes. He knew Eva had a bit of a sweet tooth, and, though it might have been better to make something like rice porridge or parfait, it wasn't as if she was actually injured.
Without forcing Eva to get out of the bed, Vahn had her sit up properly before pulling out a bed tray and setting the food out for her. Then, understanding her needs before she had to vocalize them, Vahn pulled out an ornate teapot, filling the ceramic cup he had set out for her moments prior. He also gave her a half glass of milk and orange juice, but, knowing she was infinitely more fond of tea, Vahn made sure to prepare her favorite kind.
Though she already knew Vahn's character, Eva was still a little taken aback by how attentive he was being. He had completely ceased his teasing from the moment she had awoken, and, as if he was even more relieved than she was, an affectionate smile was perpetually plastered on his face as an aura of 'relief' permeated his entire being. This caused the warm feeling in her chest to compound exponentially, but, due to the state of her body, it also made her feel more than a little frustrated…
In an attempt to calm herself, Eva picked up the tea Vahn had poured her, the tensions of her body easing slightly as the familiar aroma pervaded her senses. Then, after emptying her cup in a single go, Eva released a hot yet contented sigh before looking toward Vahn and musing, "I forgot how 'resourceful' you were…I guess that's a point in your favor…"
Hearing Eva's 'compliment', Vahn's smile became marginally more pronounced as he poured her a new cup of tea and answered, "Thank you. I have worked hard to reach this point. Once my body completely adapts to this world, I will even be able to manipulate Space, Time, and Creation. There is a lot we need to discuss, Eva. For now, however, I just want you to focus on being happy. If there is anything I can do, please don't hesitate to let me know…"
Though she knew he didn't mean anything perverse by his words, a light flush colored Eva's cheeks as several thoughts announced their presence within her mind. Even the tiny voice that would normally seed caution and doubt within her mind was telling her to 'lock down' the affectionately smiling man seated at her bedside. It whispered promises of vengeance and conquest, but, compared to normal, it was much quieter than before, almost as if it was gradually fading away…
As that thought crossed her mind, a small smile developed across Eva's face as she decided to forgo a response. Instead, she focused on the meal in front of her, periodically alternating between the sweet and fluffy pancakes to the tart and crisp fruit. She had actually forgotten what it was like to even feel hunger and satiation, causing the smile on her face to gradually grow in size as Vahn watched silently from the side. It was only after she had eaten her fill, a surprisingly satisfying feeling, that Eva stated, "I will have you explain everything to me in as much detail as possible. I know there are some things you can't talk about, but, everything else, I want to know."
Nodding his head, Vahn was prepared to tell Eva everything he could about himself, the future of this world, and his intentions for the future. Before he could, however, Eva neatly arranged her silverware on the bed tray before adding, "Before that…I wanted to thank you. I still haven't made up my mind, but, if I don't do something to thank you, I think I might regret it for the rest of my life…"
Even without her explaining her intentions, Vahn could feel his heart begin to beat rapidly as Eva became progressively more sheepish. Her face had become completely crimson, but, rather than avert her eyes, she stared directly at him, stating, "I want to experience everything directly…all of the things you did with my Memory Fragment…I want you to do them to me…"
As if she couldn't realize what she was saying, Eva's eyes became round as she finally averted her gaze away from his. She did her best to remain outwardly calm, but, within the confines of her own mind, she was screaming like an embarrassed banshee. She knew she wouldn't have done this if her body was 'normal', but, with so many memories of intimate acts playing across her mind, Eva couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and curiosity…
Of all the things Eva could have said, Vahn was least prepared for the words that had just left her mouth. He was expecting her to maintain her front for years, forcing him to go to extreme lengths before finally relenting when he was near the breaking point. This was so far outside his expectations that he didn't really know how to respond. However, knowing he would be a fool to ask if she was certain, Vahn found himself answering, "That, and more…"
Hearing Vahn's response, Eva felt the muscles of her lower body contract as a giddy feeling began to spread throughout her body. She felt like she had just given a predator free reign inside a farmhouse, but, even as Vahn discard the tray and slowly climbed into the bed, she didn't try to run away. Instead, a nasally and ticklish moan escaped her throat as she allowed him to lower her to the bed, his teeth lightly nibbling on her collarbone…
—
Shortly after his foray with Eva had begun, Vahn couldn't help but release an exuberant laugh as abject jubilation and relief spread through his body. His 'crazed' reaction earned him a few incredulous looks from everyone around the dining table, but, preempting everyone else, it was Theo who asked, "I'm guessing things went well? If so, then, congrats! I'm happy for you, Vahn~!"
After giving the bronze-skinned girl a side-long look, Fenrir piggybacked Theo's words, an expectant smile on her face as she added, "You've worked hard, Master. I'm looking forward to seeing Eva again. Now my Ice Magic will become even more powerful, ehehehe~."
Nodding his head, Vahn interrupted Arika's and Asuna's congratulatory words, a massive grin on his face as he said, "It might take a few days to fully convince her, but I'm certain Eva will be traveling with us from now on. I hope everyone can get along with her. It might not be easy at first, but, so long as you remember that Eva's true nature is that of a kind and caring girl who just wants to make friends, everything will go well. Asuna, I'll be counting on you to melt the ice around her heart, okay~?"
Though she wasn't quite sure what Vahn was asking of her, Asuna didn't have to think before smiling as she answered, "Leave it to me~."
Since she was seated right next to him, Vahn's smile became even more pronounced as he affectionately ruffled Asuna's hair. She was quickly turning into a reliable young lady, the kind who could listen to other peoples' problems and help them out with a smile. This had made her one of the most popular girls in school, and, though this was partially due to his growing fanbase, the fact Asuna melded into the environment so seamlessly always brought a smile to Vahn's face.
Seeing Vahn stroking the smiling Asuna's head, Arika released a small sigh, but, at the same time, she was also looking forward to meeting Eva. She knew the rumors of the Dark Evangel, but, knowing Vahn had come to this world specifically for the notorious Demon Queen, Arika couldn't help but feel a certain amount of curiosity toward her. At the very least, she wanted to know what made Eva so special, so, after drawing his attention, she offered a small smile of her own, saying, "I'm also looking forward to meeting her. I'm certain there is much I can learn from her…" before turning her attention back to her meal…
