"Bringing something back up is comparatively easy, but the ability to avoid digesting something is more difficult.  I will admit that it is something of an acquired skill, as it runs contrary to the normal process."  Moving back in front of her, he kneels down and adds his own hands to her stomach, working across her flesh in what feels like a specific pattern.  "However, as Alizome said, this is an ability that you will likely want to learn if you intend to have anyone last more than a few minutes inside of you."  Moving down the sides of her stomach, his hands work at the area where her stomach distends out from her body.  "Specifically, the physical aspect revolves mainly around relaxing the muscles in your stomach and growing accustomed to them being stretched like this; once that is done, calming the contractions is relatively simple."<br/><br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/113656">Knowledge: Religion</a>- 1d20(9) + 8 = 17 -> Pass ]<br/><br/>As he continues to massage Elanna's bulked-out form, he subtly reaches out with his magical senses, gently probing her body for any remaining influences of whatever had caused the abrupt change in her behavior.  Although the lasting effects on her are clear to see, the aura that had previously permeated her is gone, at least as far as he can tell.  While that calms one of his fears, Aethon still isn't quite sure that the full effects of the spell have passed, nor that it could return at a later date.
