"They aren't demons." Elizabeth answered, standing with the shadow cat held in her arms, smiling with a soft laugh as her chin and neck was being rubbed against with a purr still emanating from the small creature. "They're more like sprites then anything. They were meant to protect the house, to keep anyone from stepping foot where they shouldn't be." She explained. "When I was younger there was always a black cat around, but I never actually knew what it was- Until now." She nodded to the shadow cat in her arms.<br/><br/>"Think of them like body guards." She added, watching as the little shadow dog by Aleksey now sat with it's head cocked to the side opposite that Aleksey's was as if to mock the man. "I think... They were bound to the house." She added a few moments later, mindlessly petting the little shadow cat casually while a few other of these little shadow sprites crept out from the walls themselves to seemingly sniff at Aleksey and creep closer, all in the forms of little dogs like the first that approached him.<br/><br/>"They just want to make sure you're no threat to the house." Elizabeth mused as she watched the little sprites, this all being far too familiar to be anything strange or frightening in her case.
