"That doesn't answer the question much at all," Rylie pointed out, "Though the way you said that, I'm not so sure I want to know anyway."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I would like to tell you something."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Oh, great. Now what?</span><br/><br/>Rylie gazed blankly at him as he explained the cat and its sudden presence in her apartment. She sighed, "Yeah, sure, he can stay. Not like I can say no, anyway," she pointed out blandly before returning the cat's stare.<br/><br/>She didn't even react to the change, but instead gave a terse smile and small wave by way of greeting, "No, no, you didn't frighten me... I think I'm past that point, actually. Completely desensitized and- Oh!" She suddenly jumped up, having caught the time from the microwave.<br/>"It's already that late?! Oh my- I'm gonna be entirely late! Again!" Rylie grabbed her coat and hastily put it on, slinging a heavily packed messenger bag that looked like it was ready to fall apart over her shoulder. She turned to face Kratos, "I have evening classes at the school. You said you were stalking- I mean following me everywhere now, right? So come on, let's go!" In her haste, she forgot her previous wariness of the demon and grabbed his wrist, proceeding to drag him out the door, down the stairs and across the parking lot to her car.<br/><br/>"Hurry, hurry! Get in!" Rylie prompted him impatiently as she buckled herself into the driver's seat. Luckily she didn't live too far away from the university.
