Lamia listened closely, she did have one problem with the cover story. Rakashasa couldn't get sick with most normal illnesses, but she remembered one time one of them did get sick with something bad. The others forced him out of the cave and made him live far away and on his own afraid of getting sick themselves. She didn't know about humans, but if they were afraid of getting sick too, she wasn't sure what they'd do. The rest of it sounded really good though, and maybe she should just trust Raphael to know what he was doing. But she did think of one change that might make it go better, so she decided to practice talking about her 'condition' as well as seeing if he liked the change.<br/><br/>Lamia talked to him as if she had an audience and was incredibly convincing. "My name is Lamia and I'm an orphan, you found me when I was doing really badly and was so nice to have help me. I remember that you took me to a healer and they said that I had been cursed by a demon, probably the one that killed my parents. The healer prescribed certain foods to help me work through the curse, as normal food will make the curse worse. Sometimes the curse also makes it so I can't be around others and I might be kept away for a few days. It's hard to deal with sometimes, but you've helped me a lot and I think everything's going to be okay."<br/><br/>She then dropped the serious act and looked at him with a smile. "How's that, I know some Rakshasa can cast curses on people and other demons can do even more, some permanent. I thought that would be good so it makes me come across as an enemy of demons since I would obviously hate them so much. And if something happens like someone sees me change into an animal, we could say that's something the curse forces on me. Hopefully that won't happen though. But I'm really glad you thought of that, not just for the food, but it'll be great to be able to see my animal friends still and for some time to myself." Lamia was obviously a natural liar and schemer, even at her young age she could deceive others as good as any conman.
