Flandre hadn't even heard of it, so I had figured that hadn't tasted it beforehand, I was curious what the reactions were after. Reactions to the unfamiliar seem to be a strong thread in these recent stories, and I have been enjoying them, so I'm always curious for ones that happened off to the side.

Ah, well that explains it, and I bow to your superior skill/tolerance for that sort of research. Time travel, it seems, is a source of confusion even for the audience.

If it can be taught, yes, though my impression is that a lot of the magic witches are using is, if not innate, at least highly specific except for a few basics. Though that might be due more to the wartime footing and lack of advanced sorcerous education.

That was what I had taken to be the long term plan as well, and I can understand the motivation, he's just had to spend two months apart after all so one night of time would almost seem like a tease. I guess I was just surprised at the decision to do repeated loops in the mean time since the characters with experience with such activities were so concerned about even doing it once.
