The kinds of meat Lamia liked wouldn't be a problem, but her favorite way of preparing it could be. She probably wouldn't be able to eat her favorites in front of others, seeing as the meat would look uneatable. He supposed that she could eat it privately, but it would have to be done carefully. The usage of had in Lamia talking about her father did not escape him. Raphael guessed that most likely her father was dead, perhaps at the hand of humans. Considering that he had brought up Lamia, who was innocent, he most likely wasn't evil as well. If he had been killed by humans, well, there goes a good deal of his faith in humanity.<br/><br/>Banishing the dark thoughts, Raphael smiled, "Since I would be taking care of you, I suppose you would call her grandmother. The grand part means that she is my caretaker, and I am yours. A father could definitely play both roles, but he generally would still be considered a father. The title of father usually only goes to males, and the title of mother usually goes to females, making it unlikely that a father would also be considered a mother, or a mother also considered a father. You could give the title of mother to someone who cared for you, though that would be something you would want to consider carefully, as usually you will only have one mother. However, I do know that if something happens to a parent with humans, often the child will eventually be close enough to a person to call them mother or father. Though, for a person to be considered to be a mother or father, they have to give the child at least a home, food, and care. There can be people who care for you, but because they don't do those things, they could not be considered parents."<br/><br/>Raphael paused, took a breath and managed to think of one last thing to say,"I have one question about what you eat, and that is this. Would you be able to eat cooked meat and fresh fruits if necessary?"
