"I don't like the look of that..." Sophia told herself aloud.  Lilliana was too busy burying her face in Athren's neck to notice anything unusual other than the snarle.  She kissed him tenderly on the cheek, a sort of mocking gesture.  "I'll go out and get the circle started.  Come fetch me when you're done and we'll drag them out there together."<br/><br/>"You know Sophia, you could benifit from this as well.  Please, there's one for each of us, and he is a blonde... I thought you'd like him.  I think he's very cute."<br/><br/>"He is indeed, but I'd like to clip his wings before I take him for what he's worth."  Sophia laughed as she left the room to get the salt and candles.<br/><br/>"Oh well then," Lilliana smirked.  "I guess I get both of you all to myself.  What a lucky girl I must be."
