Rylie quirked an eyebrow at him as he stammered, then shrugged. She chuckled slightly at Raphael's reaction to Emily's consent to date him, then gazed inquisitively at her best friend, mirroring Kratos's question with her eyes.<br/><br/>Emily paused for a moment, still grinning at Raphael, "Well... I'd want it to be something useful to Rylie. So I guess we won't have to worry about those hummingbird-kitten hybrids," She added with a laugh, "There's also her elemental affinity consider, which is ice... And also lightning, right?"<br/><br/>Rylie nodded in confirmation.<br/><br/>"So... Ice and lightning. I also want to be able to assist her with speed or flight if she needs to escape something, so something with wings would be preferable."<br/><br/>Rylie couldn't help but smile at how much thought her friend was putting into this, but a thought that wasn't her own came unbidden into her mind. Something about how beautiful she looked? Her eyes narrowed slightly and she fixed Kratos with a sideways glance as she took a sip of her water.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Wait, did I really just think that?!</span></span><br/><br/>Rylie's golden eyes widened at the same time Kratos' did, and she choked slightly on her water. Coughing, she stared at the demon, putting two and two together in her mind.<br/><br/>Emily stared at her friend in alarm as she choked on her drink, then frowned, "I feel like I'm missing something here."
