"A 'heat seeker', huh? Well that doesn't bother me as long as she isn't going to be 'in heat' as well!" Kratos joked, smiling. Raphael scowled. "Again with the 'you're a cat, so you can be in heat' jokes? I swear you do that on purpose! it's not my fault I have heat cycles!" Raphael grumbled.<br/><br/>"Well you really brought the whole cat thing on yourself!" Kratos said. turning to the girls, he explained, "A familiar isn't always a cat as you probably guessed by now. What I bet you didn't know, is that depending on how the Familiar is created, the animal resemblence in their human form can vary. I have a list of the different types and how to produce the desired results."<br/><br/>At the question regarding the familiar spell, he smirked. "It's more of a demonic ritual, really." At the girls facial expressions, his facial features turned to a shocked expression when he caught the drift of their collective thoughts. "Oh, relax! it's not like we sacrifice anyone! Jeez, you two have the goriest and most sick thoughts when I mention Rituals..." He said, then he muttered to himself "<span style="font-size: 85%; line-height: 116%;">honestly, tentacles? I'll never understand girls at all...</span>"<br/><br/>Unfortunately, Raphael heard him and blurted out "If you wanted that, I could totally use a transformation spell on Kratos."<br/><br/>Kratos looked horrified. Not so much at the prospect of that being a possibility, more like horrified that the girls had probably heard him and now knew he had been prying into their minds. "Raphael, do me a favor and shut the f**k up about that kind of thing. I do NOT intend to rape ANYONE! Especially not in the form of a sex demon! those guys give me the creeps!"<br/><br/>After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Kratos began explaining the ritual they would need to do. "It's basically like a baptism, but with a special liquid instead of water. Don't ask what's in it. you don't want to know, but I can safely say none of it is blood."<br/><br/>Looking out the window, he noticed that the stars were just beginning to appear in the sky. "We should get some rest. I'll make us something to eat tomorrow morning and then we'll worry about the specifics of what kind of familiar you want after that. Shall we?" he asked, leading Rylie over to the bed.<br/><br/>Raphael did the same with Emily. "Good night Emilimon! Sweet dreams." he said quietly as he kissed her forehead, forgetting yet again what was out of line and what wasn't.<br/><br/>Kratos sighed. "Get a room, you two!" he joked, but then yawned, fell silent and soon fell asleep.
