[@Drakey] They're [i]definitely[/i] not a couple, what are you talking about?  That's ridiculous!

...In short, I love it~  ^.^  Yes please, can we do this?!

Please don't go shovingdemon ether into Ziotea.  You don't want the monster that will result.  But I could see maybe trying to use demon ether to synthesise stronger ether.  He might even be able to get away with experimenting on shoving demon ether into slaves (or omestrian ether to make them all produce the strong stuff) without making Ziotea disown him, but she would definitely tell him -- and probably just him -- that she finds it distasteful.  I imagine it's not only painful -- more so than having ether drained in the first place -- but also tends to result in frothing insanity, highly violent slaves that have to be restrained OE even killed, and perhaps corrupting the ether produced so it can't nbe used.  Maybe it also has a high death/failure rate, and failures can be...ah, explosive?  It might even produce rabid mutants!
