"You aren't missing anything of relevance to my question." Kratos said simply with a calm and collected expression. He was about to say something else when Raphael snickered. Kratos' eye daggers could practically be seen as he indicated to his familiar that he was to be silent. To Kratos' shock (and utter disapproval) it didn't work. For the second time that morning, Raphael fell to the floor clutching his stomach and managed through fits of laughter to get two words out.<br/><br/>"So... Obvious!"<br/><br/>And with that he continued to laugh as Kratos roared in outrage. This did nothing to put a damper on Raphael's continued laughter, which only further angered Kratos. Kratos formed a ball of fire in his palm and promptly threw it at Raphael, who simply rolled out of the way, still laughing. Finally Raphael stood up and asked a question in a completely serious and rather rare tone. At least for him anyway. "Why is it you hide your emotions all the time? I mean for the first time in like... three thousand years give or take a few, a girl might actually like you, and you get mad at me when you start returning the feelings? How is that fair to anyone, including yourself?"<br/><br/>Kratos expression softened as he realized his friend was right. He suddenly looked at the floor, however as he remembered the death of the girl he had fallen for before he had been forced out of the flow of time for 3000 years. Since Raphael was linked to his master, he knew what he was thinking without even having to ask. Raphael straightened up and said in a stern tone, "You'll thank me later." then he yelled at the top of his lungs directly into Kratos' ears.<br/><br/>"GET THIS THROUGH YOUR DAMN IMMORTAL SKULL! LADY DOXNAPROBAS IS FREAKING<span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">DEAD!!!"</span><br/><br/>Kratos sighed in defeat and frustration. "You know, I could kill you for mentioning her name." he said.<br/><br/>Raphael smirked, "I know, but you won't. I'm the reason you are alive after all."<br/><br/>This time it was Kratos who smirked. "Doesn't mean I can't punish you." and with that Raphael looked at the girls as if to say 'Save Me!'.
