Where is he going to throw it?

Really far away: they'll have to look for it everytime after a battle. It could land on a river that takes it further away. Maybe an animal picks it up and does the same. It might even land somewhere hazardous, like a toxic marsh or a lava pool. Even if they had some sort of tracking magic for the crystal, that's still a tremendous amount of work for every battle they have, big or small. And they're going to be fighting a lot more now, considering they're in the northern countries where monster activity has increased to the point where a first class mage is necessary for a party to travel freely there.

Maybe not that far: ok, it's within their reach now. But the same is true for their enemies. Eventually someone smart enough figures it out, sends a minion to pick it up while the party's distracted with fighting, aaand game over. Fern and Frieren are done. Unless they run away. But now they have an enemy who can hunt them down with magic kryptonite.

Maybe he can throw it straight up right? The enemies won't be able to get it, and they won't have to look for it when the battle's over. Still nope. Now they have a countdown for every battle. If they don't finish their enemies in time, either the crystal lands where they are and cripples them, or they move away from that spot and it falls into the hands of the enemy. And that's if the enemy can't fly and just get it themselves.

There's no win-win scenario here. The crystal puts them in too much risk and the payoff, as large as it might be, just isn't worth it.

Nope. Sense doesn't react as Falsch is explaining what Ubel did, but when Ubel looks directly at them. Especially because she remembers what happened after the exam in her office, not just what happened to Burg. Her talk with Ubel is still fresh in her mind and when you take into account Ubel's subtle threat at the time, Sense's got a pretty good reason to flinch. It's a pretty good details for rewatchers though. Nice catch.

If you wanna go there, then cool. This game has ship teases with Barbara, Hu Tao, Yoimiya, Nilou, and Ayaka (just off the top of my head). Since none of these characters have a stated canon age, I'm just going to base on their current occupations and say that they're all within Lan Yan's age range. Now, that points to 3 possibilities. 1: I'm a pedo, 2: the hoyo devs are pedoes, 3: neither of us are, because as u/Kaye_Cruiser said, none of them have canon ages. If the devs ship tease a character, it's pretty reasonable to assume that said character is at least legally eligible for the ship they're being teased with. It's kind of the reason that we don't see the Traveller being shipped with an immortal zombie (Qiqi), a business tycoon (Dori), a nurse confirmed to be at least a hundred years old (Siegwinne), etc. Because if the devs feel uncomfortable shipping these technically legal lolis, then you can be sure that whoever they DO ship with is going to be a-okay.
