Kratos' smile widened with every passing moment that Emily asked a frustrated Rylie a new question. well, up until she asked if they were sharing a bed anyway. then he scowled.<span style="font-style: italic">~Is that ALL humans think about?~</span>he thought as Raphael started laughing hysterically.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Rylie... You're a pretty girl-- you might never admit it, but you are. And he's a guy. A demon, sure, but still-"</span><br/><br/>when he heard this, Kratos wasn't surprised at Rylie's reaction. He did however, respond somewhat differently than Raphael had expected. "She's right you know... you are very pretty..."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"You... work here?" Emily asked, blatant shock on her face, "Rylie! It's a .... Specialty Cafe!"</span><br/><br/>"A what?" Raphael asked curiously. Kratos scowled. "Curiosity killed the cat." he said threateningly. Apparently this had been used as a threat before, because the Nekojin jumped behind Emily and started to cower.<br/><br/>When Kratos saw her in a maid-esque outfit, he immediately covered Raphael's eyes. "Hey! you know good and well I'm old enough to see whatever the hell you're hiding from me!" Raphael pouted, then bit his master's hand. as Kratos removed his hand out of shock, Raphael smiled innocently. "Wow, Miss Rylie looks a lot cuter for some reason..."<br/><br/>Kratos slapped his forehead. "Sometimes I wish I was that Naïve..." he muttered as they were all given their coffees. Raphael sniffed the cup of brown liquid. "This smells weird..." he said. taking a sip, his eyes grew wide and he downed the rest in three gulps. What ensued can be described in one word:<br/><br/>"COFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEE!!!!!!"<br/><br/>A slapping sound echoed throughout the room as Kratos silenced the hyperactivity with a mach 2 motion, sending the Nekojin up three feet off the ground which knocked him out when he hit the ground. As everyone stared at Kratos, he simply said, "You're welcome." And went back to drinking his coffee. "So... Emily, was it? Does she really not have experience with Dating? That would explain the way she was able to resist my powers of mind manipulation when she saw my familiar... Usually they have to have at least been interested in a man for it to be effective.... Anyways, ummm... why are you staring at my familiar like that?"
