				If it weren't for the light of the five candles, the basement of Lambda Epsilon Roh chapter house would've been pitch black. Thanks to those candles, however, there was just enough light for Brendan Folly to see exactly what he was doing.&nbsp; With a final broad stroke of his arm, he finished drawing a chalk outlined diagram on the cold cement floor. Brendan pocketed the chalk and took a moment to look over what he had created. <br><br>He now stood in the middle of a large circle. Inside, five lines met with each other to form a pentagon - each corner just touching the circle's edge next to one of the candles. In the pentagon's center an eye was drawn. It was within the pupil of this eye that Brendan stood. <br><br>All along the inside of the pentagon - outside of this eye - words of an ancient language were written. The pale american boy stood holding a book and glancing back and forth between the illustration on its pages and the words at his feet.&nbsp; He grinned at his work and turned to the next page. "That's it! It should all be ready to go." he said aloud in a boyish, almost nasaly voice. <br><br>Then, peering down at the writing on the next page, he cleared his throat and in a deliberate, measured cadence he began to speak the words in the old tome. "Oh Hamarash Golyanth Hereskamfil, Horamat Skadarvian. Sheyalbum vellorandil ygsralling ashigdallar. Shebullim... yorgzgorath - RITH! Ongallaharan.&nbsp; Oh Shallat Horrendan TU!" At the utterance of these final words, he had felt a queasy sensation pass over him. His vision blurred for a moment, and it may had been a trick of his imagination but for that brief moment it had seemed that the candlelight had taken a greenish hue. <br><br>But with his vision now clear, the candles still looked normal. It was then that he realized that the verdant tint wasn't from the candles, it seemed that the chalk on the floor itself had taken on a greenish, luminscent quality. All around him - and almost seemingly from in his mind - there was a sound. Almost inaudible... <br><br>He waited... His senses pricked up, his anticipation nearly overflowing. The slight green glow of the chalk faded and then - in the still, quiet darkness of the basement, there was.....<br><br>Nothing.<br><br>Brendan waited... Minutes passed, his mouth dry, his hands unconsciously fidgeting. And then ... there was still nothing.<br><br>"Dammit! This can't be right." He thumbed through the pages and looked over his work. - Everything was inscribed correctly. Brendan drew and released a deep sigh. "Well, that was a rather ... impressive waste of time." He groused. He looked down at the diagram on the floor with a pout, then cocked an eyebrow. Was it just his imagination? Did the chalk <em>really</em> glow green? Then again... nothing happened. Certainly not what was <em>supposed </em> to have happened. <br><br>"Well... I guess I just... I don't know." He said. He blew out and collected all the candles except for one, which he used to find his way over to the light switch. The fluorescent cieling lamp flickered to life as he picked up a push broom. Making quick work cleaning up the diagram he had worked over an hour to create, he retired back upstairs. His stomach was growling and his thoughts went to the last three pieces of cold pizza in the fridge....

				In the Dining room of the Lambda Epsilon Roh Chapter House Alexander Mustang or Alex for short sat at the table. He was pouring over a book that contained ancient curses. The pages were yellowed and the Ink was fading but it was still ledgible enough.&nbsp; He was lost in his reading until he heard footsteps heading for the kitchen. "Yo....Brendan finally decide to step back into the world of the light?" he asked half jokingly half serious. <br><br>Alex knew that many things in the books they had a tendancy to read contained many ancient and Dark secrets so it was a sort of running joke in the Occult club to comment on the world of light after rituals or just spending hours in a dark room. sitting on the table a good space away from the book was a bottle of Mountain Dew.

				"Yeah, it's good to be back." Brendan chuckled as he made his way over to the refrigerator. "Which book is that?" &nbsp;he asked absently, rummaging around. Fnding what he was looking for he turned back to face Alex. "You think it's legit? Or just more 'smoke and mirrors'?" he asked about the book, while carefully smelling the pizza. <br><br>Leaving food to fossilize was a time-honored tradition at the LER chapter house. So, early on, Brendan had learned to develop a keen sense of smell for these things. As near as he could tell, the 'Za was still good. So he took a seat opposite of Alex and started enjoying his meal - straight out of the cold box.

				"So far my friend it's looking Fairly Legit. to answer your question about which book it is.....I don't remember the title but it's Item 5388 in the catalogue of old records" Alex replied casually as he looked up from the book to take a drink of his mountain dew. He watched his companion munch away on the pizza and chuckled "you got the last three didn't you?"&nbsp; This was just him taking a wild guess at the matter.<br><br>The book he was looking at didn't seem to involve anything pointless and the rituals seemed to get pretty intense at times so he was sure it might actually be worth experimenting with

				"Oh!" Brendan exclaimed. "I didn't think anybody else would want them." He turned the box toward Alex. "Go ahead, help yourself. Item 5388, huh? The one I've been reading is actually uncatalogued - as far as I can tell. I found it behind some of the books in the Occult Registry. "&nbsp; Brenden wolfed down another bite of pizza and rubbed his temple thoughfullly. "I remember it didn't have a catalogue number... Heck, it didn't even have a title upon the cover. Just an old tome written in one of the ancient languages. Took me forever to translate.... Odd dialect."

				"nah I didn't want any but i'm sure someone else may have" Alex replied chuckling as he listend to Brendan explain about the book he'd found "hmm....that sounds interesting we'll have to catalogue it later then" He then placed a bookmark in the tome he had been reading and shut it. "it's about time I took a break from all that reading"

				Katsuhiko walked into the house with his sword laying upon his shoulder as normal after training. He could feel the air charged strangely and knew that once again Brendan was playing with spells and magics that Kat couldn't wrap his mind around. Kicking off his shoes at the door he continued in.&nbsp; "Still playing with your magics Brendan. You know if you got out there and looked you may find someone into you." Kat spoke loudly as he walked into the dining room knowing thats where everyone spent most of there time. "It's just a matter of time before your little magic trick ends up really doing something. And it may not be what you're hoping for."&nbsp; Kat sat down next to Alex and gave him a nudge with his elbow jokingly. "And you're no help for encouraging him." Kat placed his sword beside him at his feet. "Why don't I get you a book on girls to read. It may help you more than that thing." Kat was always skeptical of the book as his martial arts brain could not grasp the logic of magic. Give him an opponent to cut down and Kat would make confetti. But give him a spell to recite and Katsuhiko was lost. But he couldn't help but feel the energy different than it normally was. Whatever Brendan was doing. It was doing something.

				Alex chuckled as Katsuhiko entered into the dining room and sat down next to him nudging him. "ah well what can I say? these things fascinate me as well so I see no need to stop him from dabbling and if he actually pulls something off all the better." Though Alex considered them both his friends he had to admit that he did enjoy manipulating events around him to further his own amusement or personal agenda.&nbsp; He of course was quite skilled at hiding his intentions and though he twisted the truth he didn't outright lie around Katsuhiko. <br><br>He found the Martial Artist to be a refreshing change in his company and found the man to be highly amusing. Of course he was also quick to take advantage of this mans talents and enjoyed watching the martial arts tournaments that he went to because he considered them a good way to kill boredom.

				Brendan began on his second piece of pizza and shrugged off Katsuhiko's critique. "What can I say?" he responded in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's what I like to do." He shot Katsuhiko a happy-go-lucky smirk and gestured to the sword at his feet. "It's just the same with you and your fencing, right? Me? I'd scarcely know which end to hold." He laughed at his own shameless admission. <br><br>"And as a matter of fact," Brendan sniffed, holding one finger in the air empircally. "I <em>have</em> read a number of books on girls. I just... haven't had a chance to apply the knowledge yet...." The finger went down, a small bit of red spread across freckled face and he promptly shoved the rest of his slice of pizza in his mouth - figuring it would be better than his foot.

				Katsuhiko laughed and looked down at his sword. "Not fencing Brendan. Thats a reverse blade katana. And your books under the bed are not the best books to learn from." Teasing of course Kat shook his head and got up from the table. "Well if you enjoy it Brendan keep doing it. You know I just want you happy. You're like a brother." &nbsp;With that Kat headed up to the showers. He knew he needed one.

				Brendan finished his pizza and pushed away from the table. "I wasn't talking about one of <em>those</em> types of books..." he said, more to himself than to anyone else as his face flushed again. He straightened up an stretched out. His expression became resolute and in a voice to match, he said, "Well... back to it! I'm not about ready to give up yet!"<br><br>He cast a cheerful smile and waved in Alex's direction. "Lemmie know how that book turns out, k?" He said as he headed back down into the basement once again. <br><br>To his surprise, it didn't take nearly as long as the first time to flesh out the diagram on the floor. Of course, it helped that there were still traces of the chalk drawing left behind which gave him a sort of template to follow. He then lit the candles and put them in their appropriate places. "Oop! Need to turn off the light!" He ran to the switch and clicked off the fluorescent lamp then hurried back to his spot within the pupil of the eye. <br><br>Brendan opened the book and peered at its pages, frowning. The ritual he had tried earlier was intended to be a calling. The diagram acted almost the same way that an official form might when petitioning a court: it allowed the user access to a sort of cosmic forum through using the correct channels. Standing in the ornate circle was how the petitioner became noticed by the powers that be. The eye signified placing yourself directly within their sight. The incantation was, in effect, pleading one's case. You're not exercising "command" or dominance over the natural word, so much as making an appeal. <br><br>He had hoped to use this "appeals" process to ask the universe to send him a significant other. Specifically, the foreign words he chanted asked for them to send him just&nbsp; "a girl friend". It occured to him in the middle of his cold lunch that his request was possibly too vague. Perhaps he needed to make his entreaty more specific to get the desired response. <br><br>Brendan reworked his encantation, adding more details about exactly what he wanted in a girlfriend. He thought to himself, <em>"I should definitely make sure to ask that she be hot. Yeah! That's it, a total hottie! She should burn for me... She should have passion!" </em>&nbsp; The boy became rather red in the face while he scribbled down the new words to his chant and he chortled deviously. <br><br>Once more, he stood within the eye of the diagram and spoke the incantation aloud. Once more did the chalk glow with green luminescence. Once more... did he feel queasiness wash over him - although this time not quite so bad. <br><br>Brendan raised a hand to wipe the sweat off his brow. It was at that point he noticed that he <em>was</em> sweating. An he was doing so quite profusely because the room had grown a great deal warmer than it had been before. He felt as though he was wearing a sweatshirt on the hottest day of summer... and the candlelight seemed to have gotten brighter...

				At the window over looking the sink in the kitchen in which Alex currently sat in, a calico, bob tailed tabby sat on the sill outside of it, her white-dipped paws in the empty floral box. She stared intently at the inside of the house, her curiosity always got the best of her, and in this case, she really wanted to be on the inside of that house. It was spring, it was warm during the day, but cold during the night, she wanted to be in there. Where it was warm and safe. Besides that, it looked like an older house, so there may be delicious mice in there as well. OH! How she loved mice, and their adorable little pleas for escape. Once in a while if one pleaded a good case, she would release it, but typically she would just devour them<br><br>The first day here was boring, rather boring. Nothing but giggling girls macking out with unintellectual boys. She wanted something like that, yes, but she never knew who it was that brought her here, could have been fate, but she felt obligated to just sit and stare through the slightly dirty window into the kitchen of the Lambda Epsilon Roh frat house.&nbsp; Her yellow-gold eyes peering with interest and piqued curiosity at the sight of a young boy reading a book. She recognized that book! In fact seeing it excited her, she loved silly occult literature, because most of it was written by humans who had absolutely NO IDEA what really was going on around them. Her little stump of a tail started to swish happily back and forth and she really just wanted into the house now. That book was one of her favorites, considering it was a silly little thing with little to no credibility on the subject of curses. She placed a pink-bottomed paw on the window and mewed loudly. Tap, tap, tap, sliiiiiide of the paw, repeat.<br><br>"Mew. Mew. Mew. MEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW."

				Katsuhiko stood in the shower the hot water rushing through his hair. The steam from the shower masked the heat rising in the house and Kat continued to enjoy the way the water rushed over his body. Closing his eyes he smiled and ran his fingers through his hair. This was one of his favorite parts of the day. A steaming hot shower after training. Katsuhiko liked it hot most of the time. The increase in body heat just as it was in a fight always excited him. As he ran his hand over his abs and thought of the last time he had done crunches he cracked his neck and decided what he really needed was a massage. He imagined how great it would feel to have someones hands land lightly on his shoulders. Grip firmly around his muscles and work them with delicate fingers. He sighed and opened his eyes. "If only dreams came true."

				Alex heard a soft scratching sound as well as the gentle mew's of a cat "well now....let's go see" He mused to himself as he rose from his chair. He walked over to the window and stared at the bobtailed tabby sitting there. "Well arent you just adorable" he mused as he opened the window to let the little creature in. "what brings you here little one?" He asked as he reached out towards her as though he were going to pick her up.

				A few moments after the candles in the basement began to increase their glow, the room itself began to take on an amber hue directly opposite where Brendan had set up his circle. Slowly a ball of light grew, it's colors shifting continuously.&nbsp; It crackled with energy, pulsating with a regular rhythm, very much reminiscent of a natural heartbeat as it expanded to a 4 foot sphere before slowly coming to rest on the floor right in front of the amateur summoner.<br><br>A deafening quiet slowly took hold of the area - even the running water of Katsuhiko's shower couldn't be heard as the magical light slowly shrunk and faded back to reveal the form of a budding woman seated where the sphere once was. Her arms hugged her knees close to her chest and her head was rested face-down upon them. <br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm18/midorikumo/2008-06-26-106247-Copy-1.jpg)</div>At first it appeared that she may have been sleeping but then she slowly turned her head up, raising cautious dark eyes to look at Brendan's own. She stayed that way for several seconds, appraising him before suddenly jumping to her feet, the motion sending up a ephemeral image of her spirit: a colorful bird surrounded in flame with an almost musical trill to match. She pushed through the image, causing it to dissipate like mist around her, and as she did her features and clothing became apparent. <br><br>&nbsp;She was rather small - couldn't have been much older than 16 and her fair face was framed by ash blond hair held up in pigtails. Her dark eyes proved to be red but every bit as calculating as they struck Brendan as when he first noticed them. She wasn't dressed exactly like he'd expect the girls of the area to be, rather she almost looked like she was ready for a period-based play or a convention with her odd assortment of lolita-style clothing and Gothic armor. <br><br>The blonde made several, deliberate steps toward Brendan - her feet making clacks that echoed in the otherwise silent room. "And... you are?" she asked in a voice seeming quite mature and confident. She cocked her head slightly and the corners of her pink mouth curled into a slight smile. Rather than annoyance, it appeared her question was marked by sheer curiosity - or perhaps a bit of confusion, given her means of transportation.

				Brendan stood with eyes wide and jaw dropped for what was nearly a minute. <em>"This is amazing!"</em> he thought to himself. <em>"I mean it's one thing to use magic to make a slight influence in the world... but I've actually called forth a real living being - called them and summoned them forth to myself!"</em> His face went red and a sly smile parted his lips at his next thought. <em>"Called her here... <strong>for me</strong>..."</em> <br><br>He promptly stood up straight and cleared his throat, squaring his shoulders to do his best to project an air of poise and confidence. "Good afternoon. I am Brendan Folly." he said, dropping his voice lower in an attempt to sound commanding and authoritative. "I called out to the universe to 'bring me my love' and so it has brought you to me! Well met, my dear!" he exclaimed, as he strolled boldly out of the circle to stand immediately in front of her. "I know this is all very sudden... but don't you worry! I'll take <strong>good</strong> care of you! You have my word as a summoner!" He placed a hand firmly upon her hip. "I had hoped the universe would send me a woman who is beautiful beyond compare, but I didn't realize you'd be quite so hot."<br><br>With his hand still on her hip, Brendan pulled her up against his body. "Now, come my pet..." he began in his best attempt to sound ravishing and seductive, "and show your passion for me with a kiss." He puckered his lips and moved in...

				The ash-blond girl raised an eyebrow at this man's blatant display of confidence. At first she had given him quite a bit of respect for an apparent show of bravery but, soon, her eyes narrowed as he strolled toward her and became increasingly more brazen and impetuous. With each passing moment, this behavior brought forth the virtual chimes of the bells that heralded his impending doom.<br><br>She cocked an eyebrow at his words and almost laughed at their absurdity, easily dismissing them as a fool's play. But when he placed a hand upon her, she fixed him with a glare he would have never mistaken had he been giving her eyes his full attention. But, apparently, his mind was... elsewhere. <br><br>Fed up with his disrespectful and unwelcome advances, her temper flared. Unlike many girls, there was no wishy-washy behavior and no one was left wondering what this one was thinking. She scowled and looked down at the hand on her hip. Immediately, it burst into flame. With that she placed her right hand on Brendan's face and pushed him crudely away, turning to head toward the stairs without a word.

				As he had placed his hand on her hip and was bringing her in for a kiss, Brendan was feeling quite good about himself. He had successfully summoned a sentient living creature. What's more; it was a beautiful woman - just for him!<br><br>Mere fractions of a second before the burns on his hand, he had begun to openly chuckle. "<span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">Heh-heh-heh-heh</span>- hot-hot -hot HOT- <span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">HOT!</span>" His chuckling turned into yelps of pain in an instant. And then, there was a hand on his face, pushing him with such force that he nearly fell over!<br><br>Brendan stumbled awkwardly for a few paces and then managed to catch his feet. He stared after her: jaw once again dropped, eyes once again wide. <br><br>"W-w-w- What the hell?" he asked quietly, in a daze as he watched the sandy blond-haired girl head toward the stairs. Brendan scratched his head in confusion and looked over his diagram on the floor. <em>"I-I don't understand it!"</em> he thought to himself. <em>"First the calling fizzles out, then it brings someone - but she wants nothing to do with me! I mean, why would the universe send someone I didn't ask for? Wait.... Maybe she wasn't sent! Maybe she came of her own occord!"</em> <br><br>His heart skipped a beat as a grim thought entered his mind. Recalling Kat's earlier words: <em>"It's just a matter of time before your little magic trick ends up really doing something. And it may not be what you're hoping for." &nbsp;</em> <br><br>"Oh no!" he said outloud, both hands grabbing fistfulls of his hair in an open display of anxiety. "I - I think I just summoned a demon!" His legs went weak an he fell down onto his knees. Trembling in fear, his mind raced to think of a possible solution to the problem. But none came to him. And, despite the rather warm temperature of the basement, he broke out into a cold, cold sweat as if someone had just dipped him into ice water.

				Katsuhiko stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his body. Stretching he walked out of the bathroom and decided to go downstairs and see what the boys wanted to do tonight. The house next had any girls in it so the guys normally didn't worry about not being completely dressed. Messily throwing his hair about in attempts to dry it more he walked down into the dining room. "Hey Alex" He stopped and looked at the cat he had on the table. "Where'd you find a cat?" He chuckled walking forward to it as he heard footsteps coming up the basement stairs. Calling out assuming it was Brendan coming up after another go at his magic. "Hey Brendan. Alex found a cat!" Katsuhiko reached out to pet it sparingly hoping it wouldn't try to bite him. He liked cats, though they seemed to have a problem with him. He never knew why. As he stood there he couldn't help feeling a little warmer than normal. He waved it off assuming it was just the hot shower bothering him. He was in there for awhile.

				The blonde stopped after a few steps on the stairs and slowly turned her head to look rather incredulously at the summoner. "I am not a demon!" she exclaimed, halfway between offense and amusement. She moved quickly back to stand before him and put her hands on her hips. She harumphed and stood, staring down at him for several moments before her expression slowly softened as she began to feel a seed of pity for the boy.<br><br>She reached a hand to help him to his feet. "My name is Fiametta. And, while I won't offer any apology for burning you for your transgression, I will say that I am not someone you need fear. Not as a demon, anyway. I am not evil and I don't delight in causing needless harm or taking the lives of innocents."

				When the "demon" - as Brendan thought of her - came back over and stood with her hands on her hips, he immediately thought the worst. <em>"Oh, man! This is it! I'm done-for!"</em> He thought to himself. <br><br>But then she offered her hand and some, more or less, encouraging words. It may have been the tone of her voice, or simply just his desire to believe she <em>wasn't</em> a demon, but Brendan swallowed hard and took her hand, accepting her help in getting back to his feet.<br><br>"Um.. I, uh... I'm really very sorry about the misunderstanding.. Um.. and ah... about my rude behavior." He shifted uneasily from one foot to the other and scratched the back of his neck. He glanced over at his summoning circle and then back to her and, giving a weak, sheepish smile, he bolstered all his courage for the next question. "So then... if you're not a demon. Do you mind if I ask who you are and.. uh.. why exact that you're here?" Managing to get the last of the words out, Brendan held his breath and waited hopefully. <br><br>She <em>said </em> she wasn't a demon but he just wanted to hear something - anything - some kind of reassurance that he wasn't about to get his sould devoured.

				"My-nyaah" Sophia jumped straight at Alex, landing on his shoulder and then vaulting to the table to inspect the book. She sat right in front of it, almost completely ignoring Alex in the process of getting to the book. Once in front of it, her nubby tail swished back and forth, her eyes glittering with happiness and she used one of her white paws to turn to the next page as she read the book. <br><br>'I knew it was this book, hahaha, this book's a riot' she thought to herself, as a purr of content began to emit from her throat, a loud one at that. This was all before Katsu came down stairs and suddenly began yelling&nbsp; about, making her ears to pin against her head and a look of annoyance to play across her face. As soon as he reached for her, to pet her, she scooted the book away from him, and then followed suit with it. All the while, appearing as a simple calico bobtail cat. She then returned to reading the book, reading it at a much faster rate than when Alex had been reading it.

				Alex himself watched all of this occur with utter amazement etched on his face. "well it seems that this cat....is no mere cat" he smiled now as he was thanking multiple cultures gods for such fortune for the arrival of something that seemed so interesting.&nbsp; "hmm.....my what an intelligent creature you are" he stated as he walked over to the table and reached out to pat her head. He had no idea what was going to come of any of this. Soon however Katsu came into the picture yelling and made her scoot back. "Knock it off will you?" He asked with a sigh.

				"I already told you my name." The girl responded flatly, blinking.&nbsp; She turned toward the stairs again, pondering his question of 'why'. To be honest, she wasn't all too sure what happened.<br><br>"I- I heard a call...." she began quietly and slowly moved her gaze to Brendan's summoning circle. "And I answered it... I guess..." &nbsp;She touched her pale forehead with the palm of her right hand. "I just remember thinking that I really wanted to be there... on the other side. That's where my happiness is." She shook her head at that, thinking it sounded pretty unbelievable. <br><br>"It's here.... " she began again. "Or... <em>there</em>, rather." Her last sentence was punctuated by a turn of her head, her nose pointing up the stairs and in Katsuhiko's general direction, even though she had no idea he was even there.

				Katsuhiko sighed and turned away from the cat. As always no cat like him. He looked back at the basement and his eyes narrowed when no one came from behind the door. "I know I heard someone coming up." He walked towards the stair and a uneasy wave of heat came from the bottom. "Brendan you better not be setting anything on fire. It's bad enough you have to keep thous candles lit!" Katsuhiko rarely went into the basement but he found himself more uneasy about Brendans magic than normal. "I'm coming down okay?!" He called walking slowly down the stairs holding his towel to his body. He wondered what Brendan was really doing.

				The cat's tail stopped swishing as soon as she felt a hand upon her head. It tuffed up a little and she whined a little. "I'm trying to read this comedic literature here, can I not read in peace please?" she spoke in a feminine tone lowly, almost a slight whisper (easy enough to push aside as something misheard), slowly turning her head to look behind her at the creature that could have been possibly be disturbing her nice little reading time. After all it had been something like five years since she got her hand on a piece of un-creditable curse literature, in her opinion, it was comedic gold. And then she saw his face, and she just stared, maw slightly agape.&nbsp; Her tail almost immediately wiggled as she suddenly pounced up into Alex's arms, purring loudly as she attempted to get snuggled into them. She didn't know why, but she wanted to be in them, right that instant.

She was soft and warm and he himself being a fan of the occult found the egyptians view on felines to be a fascinating one "My arent you a cute little kitty" he mused continuing to gently pat her head.

				'He's so warm! And snuggly...' she thought to herself as she kneaded her paws on his arm, but the second half was continued out loud, but to where only Alex could hear, and only on accident..."And he smells good too..." She said, still kneading her little white paws into his arms. Once in a while her claws would come out slightly on accident, possibly poking him in the arm on accident. <br><br>Her little knub of a tail swished back and forth again, and after she spoke, she began to purr loudly once again.

				The power that drew Fiametta to the mortal ream began giving her a sense of urgency as Katsuhito made his way down the basement stairs. The hairs on the back of her neck prickled on end and shook with every step he took. <br><br>She drew a deep breath and turned to face the landing fully. Truth be told, this was such a strange experience that she was quite on edge. The thought crossed her mind that there may be layers of foul play involved in the magic cast to bring her there. She worried that there may be some sort of charm that took hold of her. <br><br>With those wary thoughts in mind, she drew a rather ornate sword out of thin air, thinking it a precautionary matter. She held it back and to the side as she advanced up bottom few the stairs, hoping to meet the newcomer and discern his intentions before he made it fully into the room with the summoning circle.

				Katsuhiko reached the mid point of the stair when he saw her. Her strange choice of clothing aside he couldn't help but be drawn to her. But that thought quickly left his mind as his eyes saw the blade in her hand. "Brendan!" He yelled instantly worried for his friends safety. Leaping down the stairs he took no note that his towel flew off and he was flying naked. Only the thought that his friend may be hurt entered his mind. His knees drawn towards his chest and his hands forward to defend against an attack Kat moved to secure his friends safety even if that meant he'd have to hit a girl.

Then pulled up short with a stunned, incredulous look on his face at the sight of Kat flying naked through the air. At the last second, he caught his wits about him and managed to awkwardly blurt out, "Stop!"

				The phoenix girl looked mighty confused by this turn of events. She had no intention on fighting unless it was necessary - and had been trying to keep the blade slightly out of view so as not to panic anyone with honorable intentions. Still, coming down the stairs to a strangely-dressed girl holding a blade was, admittedly, likely a shock for any human.<br><br>So, when Kat flew down the stairway, losing his towel in the process, Fiametta barely had time to react. She tried to move back down the stairs and off to the side but found that plan thwarted by Brendan's measures to intercede. When she wasn't able to move away in time, she opted to give the boys the benefit of the doubt and believe that this was the summoner's aforementioned roommate. With that, she sent the blade clanging to the floor and braced for the apparently inevitable impact.

				Kat surprised by the sudden actions of the strange girl and Brendans words through Kat off and soon realized he had lost his towel. Blushing as he fell he soon found himself ontop of the girl and hating the fact that he even ventured down the stairs. "What the fuck Brendan?" He muttered trying to get up and extending his hand to the girl. "I'm sorry I think theres a mis understanding." Kat was always quick to apologize as it was the warriors way to admit to his mistakes. He had once again forgotten his nude nature to help the girl. But fixing his mistake was more important in his mind.

It was only then that she realized just how handsome he was and she squirmed unconsciously underneath his receding weight. <br><br>"Yeah..." she agreed awkwardly, accepting his hand and getting back to her feet. "Who... Who are you, then?" Her curiosity was piqued earnestly as if she needed to know absolutely everything about him in that very instant. She had a whole mess of other feelings and urges as well and they swirled within as her cautious nature made her push it all to the side.

				After having witnessed this entire awkward scene unfold before him, Brendan was struck all at once by its sheer slapstick hilarity. He turned away from the two of them and quaked in silent laughter. In doing so, he had noticed Kat's towel lying a few feet away on the basement floor. He stooped low and scooped up the towel. "Uuuh... Here, Kat." &nbsp;He said, trying his best to stifle his snickering as he approached with the towel outstretched. He took care not to look directly at his naked roommate.

				Kat quickly took the towel and covered himself. Tyring to fight back his blush once again. "My name is Katsuhiko. But you may call me Kat." He gave a small smile as he looked into her eyes. Once again stricken with a sense of urging. "I'm sorry again for everything I just thought something had happened to Brendan. But I see you were okay." He felt as though he interupted something. She was most likely one of his magic friends. If Brendan even had any. Kat never asked. The moment just seemed slightly awkward.

				In the few moments that the commotion had been going on downstairs, it seemed as if the purring stopped emanating from the fluffball in Alex's arms. In fact it seemed that the calico cat had disappeared all-together. In fact if he peered down into his arms, she was not there, and not on the floor at all either. It would just feel as if she disappeared into thin air. <br><br>A few moments would pass, and if he had any inclination to what was going on, he would have felt a presence behind him. There stood, silently watching his next move, a female of a sleight athletic build, and reddish pink hair (obviously a dye job) that gave her skin a nice pinkish tone to her paler skin. She wore a tight fitting black shirt, stretching over her breasts rather tightly, and hugging her well all over.<br><br>She brushed a piece of her hair to the side of her face, and smiled softly at him.<br><br>"Hi... I'm looking for members of the Occult club, I was told they mainly lived here, in the Lambda Epsilon Roh house, and...well the door was open so I thought I would just come in..." she paused for a moment and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked like a possible student, her appearance led one to believe she was of college age, but she wasn't exactly wearing clothing that blatantly stated the college's name or letters of the college. But to all appearances sake, she appeared to be going his college.<br><br>"Anyways... do you know who I can talk to about joining?" she said smiling, her cheeks a bit rosy.

The sudden voice behind him however caused him to turn and stare at the attractive young woman behind him. "ah....well Hello there" he stated quite caught off guard.<br><br>"The Occult club you say? well you could speak to myself or my companion who seems to be a bit busy" he chuckled a moment. "Say......you wouldn't have happened to see a bob tailed calico anywhere around here would you?" His face shifting into a bit of a cunning smile and his eyes alighting with a hint of amusement.

				"A...cat?" the girl looked a bit confused and looked around. Specifically around in the house, and around her feet. "I didn't see one when I came in... I have seen a cat around campus lately though... strange really because all you usually see are squirrels and birds, and a rabbit or two on occasion..." She scratched her head a little while still looking around, confused as to how a cat, let alone a bob-tailed one could be wandering around on campus. When she looked back up towards Alex, he was staring peculiarly at her with a rather cunning smile on his face and it made her a bit nervous... To which her body responded by her cheeks growing a bit flush and a nervous look on her face.<br><br>"So... umm... I'm Sophia... Call me Sophie though..." she spoke nervously and while extending a hand towards him. 'I hope he doesn't think I'm that cat... I really want to keep that separate as much as possible for my safety...' she thought to herself, a slight nervous look on her face yet.

				"I'm Alexander though everyone calls me Alex" he replied in a smooth tone as he reached out and shook her hand. He had his suspicians but didn't really bother with it. The cunning smile never once leaving his face. The look in his eyes however was one of amusement especially at her flushed appearance. "You seem to be turning red....are you alright?" he asked gently. completely disregarding the whole cat commentary.<br><br><em>If this girl wants to hide the truth i shall not push the subject</em> He thought to himself as he waited for her response.

"Wh...WHAT?" she exclaimed in a slightly whiny tone, being a little defensive, "Why... why do you keep looking at me like that?" she questioned while placing her hand on her hip, bringing some attention to her lower half, which she wore tight fitting low cut jeans upon. It was also evident that her t-shirt was not only tight fitting, but too short, letting some of her mid-drift to show. Her skin underneath her clothing seemed to be even more milky and soft than that was shown to the eye normally.

"I can't help it if I look sly when i smile....that's just how I am after all" the same smile returned to his lips as if to prove a point. <br><br>He was greatly enjoying this. She looked quite cute when frustrated and her well toned body was an interesting bonus in his book. "But to answer your question about where the next meeting shall be......well......I've forgotten so we'll have to ask my Collegue when he comes back upstairs....." he trailed off thinking about the commotion that had just occured and turned around "Speaking of which I wonder what is going on down there"

				"Kat?" the blonde girl responded with a rather girlish giggle. The sound of it seemed unfamiliar to her and she blushed while mentally scolding herself for sounding so silly in that moment. "No... No..." She began again, waving his apology away. "Really, it was my fault. It seems my defensive behavior was completely unnecessary." She bowed out of instinct. As she did so, Fiametta's dark eyes slid to his bottom half as if she suddenly remembered he was naked just a moment before. She swallowed hard and averted her gaze, feeling slightly dirty with the thought that she would like to see that again...<br><br>She cleared her throat distractedly and stood straight again.

I have a bad temper that likes to get away from me at times... I'm really really really sorry," she said finally opening one eye and making an apologetic look at Alex. <br><br><em>'Boy, I need to be careful around him, at least especially losing my temper... if I lose it, I might lose my concentration on this form... and well... suddenly grow a tail!'</em> she thought to herself, loudly screaming at herself in her head. <br><br>She adjusted herself, as he turned away from her, relaxing herself a little. She wondered if he had possibly caught on, if perhaps she came back too soon, she did after all sometimes had a hard time fooling some people. Specially if they knew anything about her kind, but considering he was an American college student, he probably didn't know. <br><br>"So... um... what now?" she said, her impatience getting ahold of her.

He saw no need to rush this little matter after all he didnt' find it particulary important or troubling really. <br><br>Finally having reached the stairwell he saw Kat naked, a strange blonde girl, and Brendan.

				"Wha...wha?!?"she was taken aback by his accusation and did as much possible in her power to keep from over-reacting. She waited until he turned away again to blush crazily and let out a silent sigh of relief. <br><br>After relaxing some more, her senses let her catch on to what was going on downstairs. She sensed a familiar type of energy, in a spiritual sense, actual more of an other-wordly kind of sense. It was then that her nose twitched.<br><br>"Chicken?" she questioned aloud.

				Fiametta's question struck like lightning in Brendan's mind. In a single, decisive, powerful flash his understanding of what he had accomplished was brought sharply into focus. <br><br>Using simple magical rituals to draw extra luck or prosperity to oneself was a common enough practice - but drawing actual, physical material, let alone living beings to yourself! - from across time and space? That was the stuff of myth and legend. Things like that just... Well.. they just <em>didn't happen!</em><br><br>And so, Brendan stood there, a slack, rather stupid look upon his face. His mind reeled at the many implications and questions spinning in his head like a whirlwind at what he'd just done. After nearly a minute, Brendan found his voice and managed to speak, though in a somewhat limited capacity.&nbsp; "I... book.. Uh... the circle." he managed to get out while making a few feeble, half-witted gestures in the direction of the summoning circle. His eyes trailed over the area of the ritual, then back to the stairs to Kat, to the now descending Alex and coming to settle upon Fiametta. <br><br>"That... I did... I did that and... I ... WOW!" His eyes went wide as he shook his head in disbelief, raising and shaking his hands at the sky... or ceiling, rather.

				Fiametta looked up at the studious boy at the top of the stairs and then back to the stammering Brendan. &nbsp;"Just how many 'roommates' do you have, Brandan?" she asked with a bit of a suspicious tone. <br><br>Again, she sensed something upstairs but now it appeared it was just another supernatural being. Such things were commonplace where she came from, but here, the aura stuck out like a sore thumb. She shrugged it off as easier to accept than the three human males that had her inadvertently cornered. <br><br>Besides, Katsuhiko was a pleasant distraction. He felt like heaven to be around. His presence was like a beautiful day after an extremely long winter. It was the sort of comfort one might liken to their mother's cooking or a long, relaxing bath.

"We have another room mate upstairs with a cat. If you want you can go join them. I am going to put some clothes on." He struggled to step away from her for some reason.

				Fiametta probably would have found Kat's departure even harder to keep her eyes off of if he hadn't already re-wrapped himself in the towel Brendan had handed him before. "Probably a good idea..." she agreed, nodding and turning to the side as he made his way up the stairs. <br><br>Alex's prompting turned her attention back to the summoner and she raised her eyes expectantly at him, hoping that he could bring some sanity to the experience.

				As soon as the naked fraternity brother walked through the kitchen and her eyes caught sight of it, Sophie squealed, her face becoming ever so red, even redder than before. She quickly snapped her hands over her eyes, as the polite thing to do and turned away from where Katsu was going, so that she wouldn't have to witness anymore. <br><br>"DEAR GOD IT WAS A BAD IDEA WALKING IN HERE UNANNOUNCED!" she exclaimed, her face reddened under her hands that covered it, and her skin feeling warm now. Her thoughts racing about at the moment from the indecencies in the house.

				Brendan looked back and forth between Fiametta and Alex's expectant faces and made a helpless gesture with one hand. "I'm not really all that sure myself... I mean, I was experimenting with that book - the one I told <em>you </em> about earlier." he said, gesturing to Alex. "The first time I tried to use it, nothing happened at all... No - wait- there <em>was</em> a reaction from the diagram itself. And I felt... oddly queasy. But that's as far as it went. &nbsp;<br><br>He chuckled nervously, fidgeting with his hands as he went on. "To tell the truth... I really didn't expect what was in the book to work. I mean, what it was talking about was <em>way </em> too fantastical to be true. Um... It was talking about conjuration." He shrugged and gave an incredulous look. "But that's the kind of stuff you hear about in old Fairy Tales. I mean, a charm to protect yourself from accidents and mishaps... maybe. Or, perhaps, a simple ritual to help guard against catching a cold. But summoning?!" He gave a small chuckle and made a dismissive gesture with his hand. "That's not only pushing the envelope, that's ripping it right in half." His face became somber and his eyes grew distant, as if he were looking at something far, far away. "At least... that's what I <em>thought... </em> But after this second time..." His eyes raised to gaze pointedly at Fiametta. "Then... <em>you </em> appeared." <br><br>A sudden wave of embarassment came over him and he looked down at his feet, shifted uneasily and then looked back at Fiametta. "Um... I really am sorry about my behaviour earlier. I mean, I think I was feeling a bit full of myself and I got carried away." Brendan held his hand up in front of himself and made a motion of pressing the tips of his index fingers together rhythmically.&nbsp; "Plus I figured I wasn't going to be able to conjure anything and I decided since I can't seem to find a girlfriend. erm... eh-heh-heh-heh.... Well, I just took a long-shot chance on summoning one to me." He stood there in awkward silence, staring at the floor.

				"well that was certainly straightforward" Alex remarked. However as soon as what Brendan had said sank in his face twisted into a rather comical and surprised expression "WAIT WHAT?!" he yelped out surprised and then quickly regained his composure "ahem.....ah...well then it seems that we have ourselves a legitemit book of summoning......" he quickly turned away and went back to the dining room. He found the crimson and stunned Sophie "ah......I take it our housmate just walked by" He sighed<br>

				The summoned girl nodded, the "call" she felt now making sense to her. Alex's outburst momentarily distracted her but as he attempted to regain his composure and walk back up the stairs she turned back to Brendan. "So now I just need to know the 'why me' part of it." she began, rubbing the tip of a pigtail between her fingers. "Did you want me an particular? Are you going by names? Or was it what I am or what I can do?" She cocked an eyebrow and moved in closer to him, honestly curious. "And what does your friend... Kat have to do with this?"

His face went slightly red and he stared at the floor, making the gesture with the two fingers again.<br><br>"The book didn't really mention any names.... and I don't ....

All only to reveal a scrunched up nose and a furrowed brow accompanied by reddened cheeks. <br><br>"I am... NOT ...

With that final word, she dramatically transformed into the bird he had seen in the ghostly image that appeared before she came to stand before him.<br><br>With a piercing, musical call, she rose up into the air - her tail feathers a lovely swirl of colors that faded into the orange of her main body.

				Sophie placed her hands behind her back, intertwining her fingers together, and waltzed slowly towards Alex, her demeanor suddenly switching again on him. Her eyes gleamed with ulterior motive it seemed, but as soon as she was but a few inches away from him, her breasts threatening to press against him by just mere millimeters, she halted completely.<br><br><strong>"Now, about joining the club, what do I really need to do to join?"</strong> she questioned him, all the while thoughts about his strange allure passed through her head, and as a sly smile played upon her face.<br><br><em>'He's rather attractive, but I don't know why... Why do I like him so much... why... why... why?'</em> her thoughts continued.<br><br>Pretty soon she felt her skin tingle with the kind of rush that only spiritual power, and then she felt the heat. Her adrenaline started pumping through her veins, and then she smelled that "chicken" smell again. Easily distracted, she bolted away without allowing him to say a word yet, and to the basement door. Low and behold in front of her eyes was a glorious flaming bird. She wasn't too worried about the flames, she would be fine as in she could handle a little heat. <br><br><strong>"HOLY FLAMING PEACOCKS!"</strong> she exclaimed out loud, even though she knew exactly what kind of spirit this being was, she decided it best that there wouldn't be any issues possibly caused by this, and to have her calm down faster would be for the better. <strong>"Pssst... Chicky-daisy... you might wanna stop that,"</strong> she said leaning in, slightly in the flames, closer to the bird, and only saying that after realizing that the old house might not be able to withstand the heat much longer,<strong>"Seriously... we don't wanna lose the house now do we? And quite possibly cause a much bigger scene?"</strong> She still whispered only for Fiametta's ears.

				<em></em>Brendan's eyes went wide as saucers as he took a half-step back, raising up his arms defensively. He could feel the intense heat radiating from the form of the brilliantly-colored bird in front of him and his first thought was that he would be burned to a crisp. But as a few moments passed, he realized Fiametta was merely giving a display. He was, after all, talking about her abilities.<br><br>There was something strangely familiar about the bird in front of him. <em>"Such a brilliantly-colored bird..."</em> he thought to himself, <em>"And all wreathed in fire...."</em> His jaw went slack as he had a stroke of recognition. He had seen various depictions in many of the occult bestiaries he had read. <br><br>"Oh my God! You - You're a PHOENIX!" He exclaimed, hardly able to believe his own words. Though at the same time, in light of recent events, pretty much anything and everything was starting to become believeable. <br><br>A sense of awe and wonder overtook him. <em>"I summoned... a phoenix?!"</em> He rubbed the side of his head with one hand, staring off into space. "This is a dream.." he said, more to himself than to her. "It has to be. There's just no way I..." <br><br>He stopped suddenly as a thought occured to him: the memory of what he had thought to himself earlier when preparing for his second summoning attempt. <em>"I should definitely make sure to ask that she be hot. Yeah! That's it, a total hottie! She should burn for me... "</em><br><br>"HOLY CRAP!" He exclaimed aloud, slapping a hand to his forehead. "It was in my wording! He immediately felt incredibly embarrassed. He had been fascinated with magic and the occult since he was a small child and had begun practicing seriously in the middle of highschool. It was a rather novice mistake to be unmindful about the exact and literal nature of wording when making an incantation. Then again, as he had confessed to Fiametta and Alex earlier, he didn't expect the summoning to work. And, because of that, he had allowed himself to get sloppy.<br><br>"Oh man.. What a mess." &nbsp;He said, shaking his head. "But... look on the bright side..." He continued, a goofy smile spreading across his face. "It could've been worse.. Yeah, a lot worse. I could've asked for a girl who's a real devil in the sack." And then, remembering that he was not alone in the basement, he straightened up, squared his shoulders and looked directly at Fiametta. "I'm afraid I owe you yet another apology...I think you got called here...." &nbsp;he hesitated and swallowed hard. "because I was careless with the wording of my incantation." He bowed his head and winced.<br><br>The painful redness in the hand he had laid upon herwas a stark reminder of what had happened when he had carelessly shown disrespect when first meeting her. He was now preparing himself for Fiametta to blow up even worse at him. "Please forgive me?" His voice was tiny and quavering.

				The fire bird seemed to sigh at Brendan's admission of fault. When the pink-haired girl appeared on the stairs she was aware that she was supernatural in some way but how was a complete mystery to her. <br><br>She agreed to turn back the heat and the fires soon dissipated. Fiametta came to rest on the stairs and leveled the gaze of her still red eyes on the man before her. She was happy to see him humbled from the experience and that he had learned a valuable lesson but, at the same time, she wasn't sure what was to become of her now. <br><br>She cocked her head to the side and lowered her head when he asked for forgiveness. He seemed so scared but brave through his fear and she was touched and rather proud of him. A single tear rolled down her beak to drip upon his burned hand, the liquid causing a cooling sensation to spread from there and up his arm. Several moments later, the pain was gone and he was healed.

				Brendan stared at his hand in astonishment. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "Just like that, huh?" and then remembered his manners. <br><br>"Thank you very much," he said to Fiametta, holding up his hand to show recognition of her healing him. It was only then that he became consciously aware of the rose-haired girl standing beside the phoenix.<br><br>"Oh! Uh.... Hello!" He said rather awkwardly, raising a hand. "I'm sorry.. I didn't even.. notice you there. Uh... Um... Well..." He struggled to find words, torn between trying to properly greet her, ask her who she was an explain away the flaming bird next to her. Though after a few seconds he relized that she seemed unfazed by a mythical creature sitting next to her. Come to think of it - she had whispered something right to the phoenix.<br><br>"Um... I don't... Do you... know her?" he asked, gesturing to Fiametta. And immidiately felt silly for such an awkward question.

				Katsuhiko watched and listened in amazement away from the group shocked that the girl he was drawn to was a phoenix. The phoenix was his families crest. For a long time his family believed they were blessed by the phoenix. Is that why Kat was drawn to her. He shook his head thinking how stupid his thoughts were becoming and shrugged it off. "Focus Kat. This isn't you. Just go to the dojo." He told himself as he turned. Yelling down the stairs to the group he made sure to let them know so the guys wouldn't worry. "Hey I'm headed to the dojo. If you guys need me I'll be there. And we still have to think of what we are doing for dinner. Don't forget we have guest so no cooking for you Brendan. We don't want to kill them." Sitting at the top of the steps a moment looking down and feeling the aura the phoenix let off he smiled and headed out.

				Alex had listened as Sophie was trying to extract information from him about the occult club when she suddenly slinked past him to speak to the phoenix that was ablaze on the stairwell. Alex had shifted so that he could better watch events unfold. He had to admit he was astounded by the fact that the girl was indeed a genuine phoenix. He wondered if Sophie was even aware that her actions were slightly suspicious but at the same time he didn't bother to comment.<br><br>Soon Brendan stuttered his greeting to Sophie and then Kat made his announcement causing Alex to chuckle slightly. He found this whole situation spiraling in an unexpected direction incredibly fast and yet he found it all fascinating.

				Sophie decided it was best that he not know who she was, let alone anyone else know <em>what</em> she was really. Only one person she knew enough to know that would be the first person who met her, but even he wasn't ready for that in her mind at this time. She looked down the steps passed Fiametta and at Brendan.<br><br><strong>"The correct answer would be no... well sort of... I know what she is, but only thanks to many hours of reading up on mythology and the occult... If... that...,"</strong> she paused to cross her arms and scratch her chin a little,<strong>"If that answers your question. I'm... well just here to join the Occult club and next thing I know there's a fire bursting forth from the doorway to the basement, and I figured I'd check to make sure I needed... well a fire extinguisher. OH! Imagine if I had doused you in that... you'd be a sad burnt chicken wouldn't you?"</strong> she laughed in a combination of nervousness and from the thought of the picture of her dousing the Phoenix, with a chemical fire extinguisher. OH! The silly look on her face covered in all that foam. Sophie couldn't stop herself from giggling like a mad woman now. Birds were silly, even more silly when wet or, well covered in silly stuff... like extinguisher contents.

				Fiametta jerkedly cocked her head at the new girl's words - the motion very birdlike in deed. Long, thin plumes with tufts on the end sat atop her amber head and swayed back and forth from the motion. She was curious about what the girl had said - no one had ever put out Phoenix flame before. It was simply impossible without cooperation from the bird. <br><br>So the thought that some human contraption might be able to do so was a very big concern for her. Her flames were as much a part of her body as anything else within her. She imagined if her fires were extinguished.... she would die. A permanent death? For a PHOENIX? Not likely...<br><br>She laughed aloud at the thought, the sound half harsh, half melodic to human ears. She was fire itself, after all...

				Brendan's face soured with indignation at Kat's preposterous insinuation. "Ye-ah.... I'm the best cook in this house." he said, puffing himself up noticeably.&nbsp; He then turned to address the pink-haired girl. "So you're interested in the occult club, huh? Cool! Well, that would be myself, Alex and a few others. It's not a very large club, by any stretch of the imagination but we don't have any kind of strict requirements for joining. Since we're a campus club, members are required to be students. But I'm sure you already knew that."<br><br>He drew and let out a deep sigh, his shoulders heaving up and drooping with the motion. He went and gathered up his book, the candles and chalk. With a sigh he said, "It's already turning out to be a long day... I'm gonna go take a shower and get on a change of clothes." He pulled a bit of his shirt away from his skin and sniffed at it before recoiling noticeably from the smell. He had, after all, been recently sweating... a lot. "I'll come back down to the kitchen and start supper in a few... <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">And we'll just see whether my cooking <em>kills </em> anyone or not..."</span> He grumbled that last part as he ascended softly on the stairs.<br><br>Brendan considered for a moment, then turned back to Fiametta. "Um... I want to apologize again for bringing you here against your will. Um... ah..." He scratched the back of his neck nerviously while grasping for words. "Well.. since you probably don't have anywhere else to go, I think we should have some vacant rooms here in the chapter house. Under normal circumstances they would be off-limits to women. But, I suppose these aren't normal circumstances so it shoudl be OK, I think. Ah.... I guess I'm just making the offer." He smiled sheepishly and looked to the ground.

				Fiametta nodded, the action beginning a sequence of fluid motions that transformed her back to her human self that they had seen before.

				Sophie planted her hands on her hips and cocked out one side of her hips to the side as she looked down at Brendan. <strong>"Well of course silly--,"</strong> the end of the word silly was dragged on a little,<strong>"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't a student now would I?"</strong> She looked over at Brendan with a somewhat discerning look. As if she was sizing him up as a meal.<br><br><em>'So is he the one that brought me to this dreary place? And did he summon her too? Poor girl, at least I can have fun with this situation...'</em> Sophie thought to herself as she turned around to go back to Alex again.

Or in the fraternity houses let alone? <br><br><em>'Where am I going to go, maybe if I had made my presence known to him right away rather than chase that tasty mouse, I'd have somewhere to sleep that was comfy and warm too.'</em> the girl thought, without thinking she let out a heavy sigh when she turned around to head back to Alex. As soon as she approached him, she finished what she was asking earlier.<br><br><strong>"So, back to the club, do you guys just never have typical meetings or... do you just hang out and talk about this kind of stuff all the time?"</strong> Sophie pressed her chest to his, her soft breasts squishing upon contact with Alex's flat chest. Her oddly golden eyes batted at him and displayed what looked like a slightly ulterior motive behind their seductive look playing in them at the moment.

I mean... after all, it was surprising how easily it brought you here." <br><br>What he was saying was half-true. To say that summoning her happened a lot easier than he thought would be an understatement considering he hadn't expected it to work at all. On the other hand, he hadn't read the book through in its intirety, but rather glossed over most of it. He had <em>no</em> idea how comparitively complex the sending ritual was going to be to reverse a summmon. "Well, in the meantime," he said, trying to sound as upbeat and cheeful as possible. "Let me go ahead and show you to a room you might like." He gestured as politely as he knew how and started up the stairs.

				Fiametta nodded again and followed him closely up the stairs. When they reached the landing she cocked an eyebrow at the closeness of the pair before her but said nothing. She had felt Katsuhiko leaving earlier an had to fight to keep her attention on the reality before her. Ever the pragmatist, she was concerned about what was immediately necessary. Still, she had to placate some small part of her with the thought that, <em>"He does live here, after all..."</em>

His mind was clouded by thoughts of Fiametta as they went back and forth and everyone could tell as one of the best fighters in the dojo lost several easy blockable points. "Kat you okay?"

They once again set up and Kat tried to focus more on the fight and less of her.

				Sophie watched intently now, as Fiametta passed, dragging her attention away from Alex for a few moments, and her thoughts blatantly only spoke of one thing that was on her mind: <em>'I wonder if she knows about me? If she can tell I'm not like the boys here...'</em><br><br>Bringing her arms down to her side, Sophie Tama gently brushed her hand against one of Alex's, slightly and absentmindedly wrapped her idle fingers round his, effectively grabbing and holding his hand, while she watched Fiametta pass by with Brendan leading the way. She was kind of jealous she would get to stay here. Sophie would be forced to live in the shadows and silence of the corners of the house, in the thin air or potentially the comfort in her true form could eventually be had, but most likely it wouldn't be. She hadn't seen many animals allowed on the campus of this college, except save for a blind child and his seeing eye dog. Who were, by the way, both knew she was strange. That blind kid was kind of creepy like that, and the dog was just a douche bag to her, like typical male canines were to something smarter than them.<br><br>As soon as Fiametta was out of sight, she turned her attention, once again towards Alex. It was then she realized she had grabbed hold of his hand, and quickly released her grip on it. Blushing slightly upon realization of it. She quickly tried to change the subject up with her knowledge of the occult and the fascination she had with it.<br><br><strong>"So, do you guys have any books surrounding the subject of the occult then? Like ones I might have not already read? I always like finding out more and more about the subject."</strong>

				Alex hadn't minded her holding his hand and didn't bother to comment on this. Soon though she changed the subject back to the club. He pondered this for a moment. "I don't know what you have and have not read but we have a rather large archive that we are going through and cataloguing right now....we have at least 5400 so far....given we are looking through both our own collection which has been built up on the campus over the years and any possible finds in the library"

				"Well do you have anything that I could look at myself, right now?" she spoke out of pure interest to Alex once more. During the moments he would take to answer, she caught herself looking at him, up and down, sometimes catching herself lingering on some of the more "naughty" aspects of a male human body and then quickly correcting it. She couldn't help her attention span was slightly inhibited, or that she well... had the mind of a cat. She was a cat spirit after all...

				Zame walked through the front door, headphones plugged his ears from hearing anything, his right arm covered in steel (http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad107/zamerageus/CIMG0642.jpg) scales (http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad107/zamerageus/CIMG0643.jpg) up to his elbow. Chlorine smell came from his body having just been swimming for a couple of hours. Setting his swim bag down next to the door to his room, he walked down the stairs and reached the landing as Brendan was coming up with a girl behind. Noticing the two walking together, Zame was hit with confusion. "Brendan, whats going on? Usually the girls don't follow you, especially into this building. Did your latest scheme produce some kind of result?" Zame said the last bit jokingly, he scratched his head not expecting any kind of answer to the joke. At least any that would include magic.

				Sophie sighed, he obviously wasn't phased at all by her passes, normally men ate them up like they were delicious caramel candies.<br><br>"That would be nice, you'd have to show me sometime," she spoke as she walked over to the kitchen table and sat down at it. She looked around the place, it really did look like a fraternity house even on the inside. Oh and it was relatively nice and warm inside compared to outside, it was kind of a damp day and there was a slight wind today as well. Sophie tapped her fingers on the table, and looked rather bored all of a sudden. She looked at the book on the table and meekly pulled it towards herself in a slow, singular motion. She looked at the page it was open to, and scanned over it. Reading it painfully slow. She...was... Bored it seemed.

				Fiametta was getting ready to follow Brendan up the second set of stairs to the room he had mentioned when another boy walked into the frat house. He was young, dark and... absolutely adorable. But she winced at the smell of chlorine on his body. <br><br>"Yes, actually." she said matter-of-factly, clicking the heels of her boots together before dipping into a bow. "My name is Fiametta. It seems that I'll be joining you all here until Brandan is able to return me to my home." She gave a sidelong look at the pink-haired girl, her spiritual presence still sticking out like a sore thumb. <br><br>The two of them were an interesting combination in the otherwise mundane household and she was beginning to believe that it would be rather important to have a chat with her later.

He was trying to find an excuse to try and entertain her a bit longer.

				Finally returning home after training Kat sighed and looked around. "Hey is anyone here? And who made dinner?" He walked towards the dining room and sat down not really completely himself. He wondered if the phoenix was still here but in a way he knew she was. He needed to talk to her. She had to feel what he felt too.

				Sophie blinked a few times when Alex suddenly patted her on the head, as if startled slightly, she then turned her eyes to look at him, her golden orbs watching him silently. "Bored is only the tip of the iceberg of what is my feelings at the moment..." she replied to him, she then looked back at the older book in front of her. He then mentioned making some tea, and she sighed a little. "It's fine with me, sounds lovely granted you have some milk, I prefer my tea in English style... some sugar to put in it would be nice too. Thank you though," she finished, turning her head, erasing the bored look on her face with a kind and soft smile of appreciation. <br><br>Sophie's ears twitched slightly as she heard the front door close and the faint voice of Katsuhiko, he must have finished with practice. She listened to his footsteps as the grew louder as he approached the kitchen. "Hello again," she spoke, in a distracted manner as she read the older book in front of her. She had ignored Zame's entrance into the house and then into the kitchen, mainly because the smell of pool had caused her not to want to turn around at the time. She could smell the sweat from Kat though, and even though they really hadn't been introduced to each other, she decided to be friendly towards him anyways,"How was your workout?" she questioned him.

				Kat looked over at the girl reading in his kitchen. Where these girls kept coming from he didn't know. But it was slightly a change in pace. "It was fine..." He answered questionably as she spoke to him. He didn't remember telling her he was going on a workout. Hell he didn't even know who she was. Kat shook his head a dismissed it as Alex telling her seeing him in the kitchen as well. He turned back to his thoughts as his stomach growled. "Alex make dinner!" He yelled as his head hit the table and his arms soon followed to swallow it. "And make a lot I'm starving!"

				Alex smiled again at sophie "English style tea? very well" with that he went about making Earl Grey he mixed a good amount of milk into it along with a few lumps of sugar and as an experiment he put a bit of cream in as well. He set the steaming cup down near the girl on the table "Here you are Earl Grey with plenty of milk, sugar, and a bit of cream to top it off"&nbsp; Then Kat came in and began his yelling.<br><br>Alex sighed at the lack of tact that the young martial artist seemed to have. "My what an unpleasent way to ask for food." He commented as he turned and was soon gathering the ingrediants for Meat loaf, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans, Corn bread, and of course carrots

				Zame unplugged his headphones before fiametta spoke. Watching her take a bow,"Wow, very formal. That's rare nowadays" Zame returned the bow out of respect. "It'll be interesting with you around, I can say that much." Zame heard Kat yell out for dinner, "and with that I'm gonna go join Kat, and hopefully get some food. Be careful Brendan." Zame continued on his way through the door into the kitchen, seeing Kat and Alex then noticing a second girl. "This is different, today is turning strange." Grabbing a seat at the table,"So how did this girl show up?"

				Sophie licked her lips as she smelled the tea with milk in it. It was odd that he added cream though. She raised an eyebrow as he handed to her, why did he add the cream on top? It's not like it was a chocolate drink, it was tea, consisting of mostly water. She acted like she wasn't actually excited over the cream, and decided to just calmly sip it. It was hot but that really didn't bother her. She liked the fact that he did add some sugar to the tea, in fact it was just the right amount. Sipping it, it tasted wonderful, but she questioned his adding of the cream. <br><br>Katsuhiko's earlier screeching made her wince a little, in fact she almost reached to cover her ears. Why humans had to be so fickle about their usage of voice volume, was beyond her. She turned her head and glared at him slightly, "Politeness will get you everywhere..." she spoke at Kat. Although she could go for some food at the time.<br><br>"I came in of my own accord, to see if I could join the occult club," She responded to Zame.

				Krash began his adventure in his room. He had to escape the dungeon which was his room. Pulling his door open strongly it slammed against his wall. "I've made it out, I just to escape the castle." He peaked his head out the door to see multiple guards waiting for me. "It's an ambush!" Darting from side to side as he makes his way through the hall way or corridor in his case. Avoiding each attack with in a hairs link. Though he had to stop and fight for seconds, actually bumping in to people, but bouncing back and continuing his mission down the steps to the dining area. "Freedom!" He roared as climbed over the ledge and launched himself towards the bottom floor. Making some incomprehensible noise as he flew towards the ground. Landing and instantly rolling to avoid any serious injury. Though the impact his knee made the with the stone flooring did effect him for a moment. "Blast," He said as he attempted to get up, but stumbled against the wall holding himself up. <br><br>Holding his knee he gritted his teeth, and came back to reality. "That shit really hurt." Now with a limp he made his way towards the dining room. The pain eased and a grin formed, reality was gone and his imagination took form again. Pausing for a second, and then darting off. He found the entrance to the dining room, and when he saw the other student sitting at the table he saw him as his fellow knight readying for the feast. He broke in to a sprint as he approached Kat he noticed the table would block him. That was no problem as his hands pressed hard against them, and he took to the air clearing the width distance of the table. Landing next to Kat he quickly turned to him, and actually realized that his head was down. That meant something was wrong, but could Krash balance reality at this moment? "Sir Katsuhiko what troubles thy?" He said as he pulled a chair out, and plopped down next to him. <br><br>He and Kat went a ways back, as they trained together in the art of sword play, but Krash always saw it as a duel for the better swords man.&nbsp;

				Kat mumbled a bit under his arms before turning to his hyperactive childhood friend. Krash was always one to cheer Kat up. His hyperactive nature always made him laugh. As such he was used to being called Sir Katsuhiko. Kat enjoyed playing along just to increase the delusion of his friend. "Sir Krash. My chest is in pain. Could thee distract me with a duel." Standing up and putting his hand on his sword still at his waist. Once again fighting would be his only outlet.

He figured their crazy roommate had finally come out of his "dungeon' as he'd called it at somepoint before hand. "What demons did you fight today?"

				Krash looked around for a second as he started tapping his foot anxiously, but Alex caught his eye and he just shook his head. "What are you talking about crazy I didn't fight a dem...." Stopping mid sentence as he heard Kat's words and on clicked his imagination, "A duel it is then!" Krash kicked off with his chair, as it tilted back and smashed in to the ground he rolled backwards to his feet. Unsheathing his rapier, "Enguard!" He roared, and kicked the chair back up on to its feet, and followed after it. Leaping the height of the chair as he brought his sword back in a lunar motion. Preparing to attack Kat head on. Though he would never intend to harm Kat, but if he wasn't on his guard then the likely hood of that happening was high. Closing in on his target he brought his sword down swiftly expecting a block, or a reversal. Ready to shift and manipulate his body the best way possible to avoid Kat's attack. <br><br>

				Brendan led Fiametta up the stairs and took her on a tour of the available rooms. They had already been furnished so that was one less problem to deal with. And, after looking around a bit, Brendan found for her what he believed to be the best one in the house. It was the largest of all the rooms and came with a king sized bed, a wardrobe, a night stand and a writing desk. <br><br>As Brendan helped Fiametta get settled into her room,&nbsp; a loud slam of a door followed moments later by the cry, "It's an ambush!" suggested to Brendan that Krash was on one of his merry little tyrades again. He sighed and reassured the Phoenix that it was actually a normal occurance in this household and nothing to be concerned about. <br><br>After leaving her to get comfortable with her accomodations, he went to take a shower. It seemed to do more than just clean him, he felt purified, almost reborn beneath the running water. Feeling refreshed and wearing new clothes, he grabbed the book and headed downstairs to share in the food and the company.

				It seemed there was quite the commotion downstairs. At first, Fiametta ignored it, hoping that things might settle down enough to give her a chance to think. But, next, the familiar sound of steel being drawn piqued her attention and she wandered back down into the kitchen. <br><br>She walked over to stand, leaning against a wall nearby the other girl who was eliminating some sort of superhuman power. For the next few moments, Fiametta's attention was divided between Sophie and the boys enjoying their friendly brawl. Eventually, she decided to take advantage of the distraction in the room and she leaned over to brush a strand of rose-colored hair away from the girl's ear before whispering, "Could I speak with you a moment?"

				Sophie's eyebrows twitched, her ears were ringing from the loudness that came from Krash now as he clamored loudly upon entrance into the kitchen. Her hands tightened around her cup of tea, and with each statement and excited yell, her eyebrows twitched more and her hands clutched tightly around her cup. Krash knocking over the chair in the kitchen and them dueling made Sophie snap.<br><br>"STOP THE SHENANIGANS NOW!" Sophie seethed pure rage, her pupils of her golden eyes, morphing to cat like slits, and her eyebrows lowering. Fangs formed in her mouth, where regular incisors once were. The air in the room became tense, thick with an almost spiritual feel. Sophie was mad, and it was showing.<br><br>"IF YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A RUCKUS... DO IT.... OUTSIDE!!!!" Sophie slammed her cup on the table, making it shudder and effectively smashing the cup, allowing hot liquids to go flying everywhere. Growling slightly she finished speaking, "Some of us, would like to conserve the health of their ear drums..." <br><br>It was then that Sophie noticed that Fiametta was standing nearby, and she heard her words while she was screaming. And without saying anything, Sophie stomped over to Fiametta, grabbed her by the arm--but not in a harsh manner nor with a tight grip--and coerced her, in a physical manner, to follow her to down stairs in the basement. When she was down there, Sophie noticed that her nails were getting rather long and she paused to feel her teeth.<br><br>"FUCK!" Sophie closed her eyes and concentrated for a few moments, and then upon opening them her irises were back to normal, as were her teeth and the length of her fingernails. She then adjusted her voicebox by coughing slightly, and put on a smile for Fiametta.<br><br>"That was a close one! A few more seconds of being angry, and I would have turned into a large angry kitty!" Sophie joked quietly towards Fiametta. At least quiet enough so that no one upstairs could hear, or even at the top of the steps listening in on the basement action. Only loud enough for the Phoenix.

She didn't fail to notice every change that happened to her but she still cocked an eyebrow and outwardly laughed when she mention of a cat. "Ah, a feline... I see. But... why?

				Kat quickly pulled his sword from its sheath and deflected Krash's attack and sliding back only to hear the cries of the girl in the kitchen. Kat turned and looked over her shoulder giving a look as to say who the fuck are you before turning back to his opponent. "You're in my house miss and if you're going to be here you are gonna learn. This happens on a daily basis." Following up after Krash, Kat lowered his blade to his side and rushed him bringing a quick upward slash. He didn't worry about hurting Krash they were truly just running through the motions. As said it happened all the time. They both ended up giving up at some point. So every fight they ever had ended in a draw with the two laughing at each other. Kat couldn't help but smile as he fought. The thrill of battle was something he could never get enough of. Even if it was just playing.

Noticing the slight changes in appearance, "I never thought Brendan would actually perform magic, let alone a summoning." Zame raised his right arm in front of himself in defense when Krash violently moved the chair. Zame had been caught in the cross fire before when Krash became entrenched within his imagination. The steel scales from his armor shined in the light, and rattled slightly has his arm moved.

				As his attack was deflected Krash jumped back after landing only feet away from Kat. "You've gotten fast...." His words were cut off, and reality came back in to tune when he heard a loud yell coming from the kitchen. His eyes shot to the girl who was going on about them fighting. He didn't say anything, but only observed the the other girl who came to join them but momentarily as she left with the screaming girl. He heard Kat assert himself, and felt no need to follow up. His eyes averted to Zame who blocked his chair, though it wasn't intentionally aimed at him. Giving him a bit of an apologetic look. <br><br>Crossing fades he heard the quick steps of Kat's approach and the game was back on. Standing directly straight up with his sword behind his back he awaited Kat's attack. Watching as Kat brought his sword back behind him, and then unleashed his attack. The attack was precise and straight forward something Krash expected from his opponent. As he watched the blade draw near light on his feet he pushed off with the balls of his feet. Arching backwards as he flipped to dodge the attack. Looking straight at Kat as his blade crossed between his eyes only centimeters out of reach. Landing on his feet Krash grinned as he watched his as a small strand of hair from his bangs fell to the ground. "You've gotten better old friend." <br><br>"Alas my turn! You won't block this one!" Krash darted from side to side closing in the distance between himself and Kat. Giving all illusions that his attack would be straight forward, but the knight had other intentions. Bring his sword back down by his side he leaped in to the air rotating his body as he neared his body. Slowly his body rotated in to a one eight flip. As he neared the end of his flight Krash let out a deadly cross cut towards the back of Sir Katsuhiko's neck.

Zame wasn't unfamiliar with swordplay, running his fingernails up the metal covering his arm, he watched the rest of the sword fight. "You keep this place more interesting then a normal frat house." Zame wandered out of the room quietly after that, stopping by the door to the basement, to hear more about the two girls. Zame knew now that one wasn't human, and had a name of the other one. "<em>That book brendans translated is gonna make this house more hectic I know it.</em>" Zame thought to himself, trying to hear what he could.

So either a: I got ridiculously drunk and decided to suddenly move to America over night and have no recollection of it, or b: I was summoned here. But I really would like to know why... And to answer your second question..." It was then that Sophie turned into a calico Japanese Bobtail cat, and began to walk on her hind feet, effortlessly and in a very slinky, human like way. She then crossed her arms behind her back and turned to face Fiametta,"I am what the Japanese refer to as a Bakeneko, now... I'm not really Japanese, I'm actually British, well technically. My original home was in Britain with a lovely old lady, and upon my 13th birthday I was gifted with really awesome abilities by some benevolent spirits. Now I can walk, talk, and become a human if I want. I can even transform into boys, if I wanted to. But I prefer to be a girl because that is what I am. Oh and the name is Sophia Tama by the way," Sophie extended a little white paw, her skin pink underneath it, offering her hand in peace,""Call me Sophie though, hehehe," Everything that she said, was still soft and quiet, only loud enough for the girl in front of her to hear. Other wise her words would sound like whispers.

				The blonde girl smiled warmly when Sophie introduced herself and she shook her hand firmly. "Pleased to meet you, Sophie. My name is Fiametta. And, well.." she shrugged. "I'm certain you probably know more about my condition than anyone knows about you. But... the boy seemed very overwhelmed by my appearance. I assumed it was the first time that he had done something like that. Still, I suppose he might have tried it before... Or!&nbsp; Perhaps there's someone else up to no good magicks here?"<br><br>She tugged at her pigtail thoughtfully. "I do suppose that would be entirely possible, considering the pastime of some of the other boys in the house..."<br><br>"Is this something you would like me to look into? Or... judging by your tone, would you prefer to keep it secret?"

				Zame had heard enough for one day, taking his leave before he got caught. "Today is one for the record books." Wandering into his own room, he hung his swim gear to dry out and emptied his bag. "I wonder if Brendan has tried to implement some kind of contract in his summoning? Fiametta and sophia, both supernatural." Zame rubbed his eyes, and laid on his bed.

				As Katsuhiko had said, the impromtu sparring matches and other such "shennanigans" happened almost on a daily basis in the LER house, and Brendan had learned to block it out while reading. It was Sophia's outburst that caught him off guard. And as he was startled from his reading and his focus was drawn to her he clearly noted her changes. And so he sat in stunned silence, even after she had gone to the basement with Fiametta. Even as the ruckus of the sparring match and the delicious smells of Alex's meal wafted about the room, he sat still as a stone, his mind fully digesting and comprehending what he had seen.<em> "A shapeshifter?!"</em> he thought. What were the odds of <em>another </em> supernatural being in the chapter house? It was definitely more than coincidence. <br><br>Brendan thought hard about his first summoning - the one he thought had failed. He thought about the glow of the chalk... the queasy feeling in the pit of his stomach and the strange, muted sound. "It can't be..." he said to himself. "<strong>Can't</strong> just be a coincidence."<br><br>Careful to remember the page he left off on, he shut his book and excused himself from the table before heading to the basement door.

				"Yeah, that would be nice of you to look into, but... I'd prefer if this stayed a secret. The last thing I want is people taking advantage of the things that I can do," With that said, Sophia Tama switched back into her human form, looking exactly like before she had morphed into her normal form. She brushed her hair with her fingers and tucked a few strands behind her left ear. Her irises were normal again, but still that brilliant golden color. "So... what now? She questioned, out of her boredom and wondering if there was anything else that Fiametta wanted to say to her, while she picked the dirt out from under her nails. "Ugh, this form, get's so... dirty..." Sophie then made a disgruntled noise signifying that she was disgusted.

				"I understand." Fiametta said with a nod, giggling slightly at Sophie's behavior. "I think the best thing might be to talk to this Brandan fellow to see if we can get any more information out of him... Where will you be staying while you're here? They made an exception for me and, from what I heard from Katsuhiko before... they may be assuming that you'll be staying here as well.&nbsp; What do you think about that arrangement?"<br><br>She turned her head upon noticing the sound of approaching footsteps and then leaned in to whisper. <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">"Do you find yourself.... drawn... to any of the men here, by any chance?"</span>

				Katsuhiko was as always shocked at Krash's agility as he flipped through the air. As Katsuhiko went to block his first attack he was caught of guard by Krash's second flip. Rolling forward at the last second KAt could feel Krash's blade whiff by his neck. As Kat turned still on one knee he watched a few strands of his hair fall to the ground and a smirk appeared on his face. "You as well." Kat whinced some at hi knee as he rolled harder than he wanted having to make the move so suddenly. He raised his hand and as always it meant the end of their current duel. So few moves but always so intense with those two. "I think thats enough for today. Besides..." Kat smelled himself and laughed. "I need another shower."&nbsp; &nbsp;Standing and sheathing his sword Kat bowed to his friend and smiled putting his hand behind his head. "Same time same place!" &nbsp;Kat turned putting his hand up as he walked away to the shower.

				Sophie licked the tips of her fingers and then ran her fingers through some of the strands of her hair, disappointed in this form's hygienic level. She found it much more easy to clean herself in the other form. Of course Sophie had no idea what a shower was. She sighed as she twisted the strands of hair through her delicate fingers. She was slightly distracted by her hair when Fiametta started to reply to her. She snapped back to reality after a few moments, and nodded and agreed, although she wasn't sure who she was talking about. "Well.. I was just going to sleep in a tree I suppose... I'm supposed to be a college girl attending school here, so they probably think...Wait, who's Brondon?" she spoke, a bit confused at the end. Who in the world has a name like Brondon? That was just really odd. Then when Fiametta leaned in, Sophie was distracted looking at the steps, so when she turned to see Fiametta's face in hers she did a sort of "what" kind of movement, jerking her head back but her shoulders staying still and in one place, all with wide eyes. Totally wasn't expecting it, that's for sure. Then she shuffled a foot back so that Fiametta wasn't in her face and leaned forwards a little to hear her whisper. Pulling herself back she responded her face a little flush, rosiness giving her pale skin a cute glow.<br><br>"Well... there's this one guy... I think his name iiiiis.... Alex?" Upon saying his name, Sophie's cheeks became warmer and in turn a bit redder.<br>

				"Brandan's the name of the man who seems to have summoned the both of us... myself for sure." Fiametta responded and then watched as Sophie's face reddened. She quickly whispered a response. <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">"For some reason, I'm pulled to Katsuhiko. I'm very confused by this...

				Alex was enjoying himself while working on the meatloaf and such that he was making. He really did enjoy cooking. He had also over the time spent here learned to easily ignore what was going on. He also enjoyed questioning Krash about his quests and battles seeing as he never seemed to remember them and he denied the occurrence of any such things.<br><br>He found his companions so much fun to mess with that he enjoyed living here without a doubt. He did wonder how long it would take for Sophie to tell him the truth. No it didn't matter much to him what she is after all he found himself rather drawn to her.

				Sophie chuckled softly. So she had said Brandan, not Brondon. She thought she had heard it wrong. "He's a mortal... they all are. In fact I was watching Alex read book earlier and he had said he thought it was legit, but he doesn't know that it's a piece of fiction. Brandan probably mucked it up, mortal's have no clue what they are doing when it comes to stuff like this, perhaps we should snag whatever he used to...oh hey..." Sophie caught sight of the summoning glyph on the floor. Something seemed off about it to her, but the off-ness was its vague familiarity to her. She shrugged it off for now and then continued on talking to Fiametta,"and look at it? At least we would know what exactly he was t...wait you already mentioned that didn't you..." Sophie paused and thought for a moment, shook her head, and then continued,"Wait, no you didn't, well we could just ask him or we could be sneaky and look at that book and see for sure what kind of summoning he was trying to do... Ack... I don't know..." Sophie was being rather fickle at the moment, her brain running around in her skull at a million miles a minute, her thoughts back and forth, constantly changing, sometimes it was hard for her to keep up with it. That was usually when she knew she needed a nap, for sure. <br><br>"I need a nap..." she muttered aloud softly. Jumping then after a few moments of silence back to Fiametta's last words:<br><br>"Like I said, mortals kinda screw these kind of things up a lot, so maybe he just made a mistake??? Like I also said, I really don't know... heh," Sophie laughed nervously. <br><br>"Yeah really need a nap..." Her thoughts drifted to the thought of a warm sun bath, and then the sun transformed to a warm light and underneath her was a warm lap. And then that lap became Alex's, and his sly smile directed at her while he scratched behind her ears. She felt herself getting lost in that thought, her eyes seeming far off and her cheeks becoming rosy again, her heart then soon, as well...began to pound faster.

				Fiametta's eyes slowly glazed over as Sophie teeter-tottered back and forth between a few ideas. In the end she nodded. "Well, I suppose there really is no rush to the matter..." She took in Sophi's far-off look and smirked. <br><br>"For now... I think I'll see if I can start blending in around here." and then she went on in a whisper. <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">"And hopefully we can gain their trust?"</span> She turned at that and began up the stairs once again, passing Brendan along the way.

				Brendan smiled and nodded a polite greeting to Fiametta as he passed her on the staircase and proceded to make his way down by the other girl. It was at this point that he realized he <em>still</em> did not know her name and he honestly couldn't remember if he had even introduced himself. Therefore, he decided to err on the side of caution. "H-helo, my name is Brendan Folly. We had talked briefly earlier but I don' think I introduced myself and... I don't believe I got your name." He smiled weakly, feeling foolish and awkward.

				Sophie's sleepy eyes drifted back to reality, and suddenly--after snapping out of her cozy daydream--realized that the Brandan kid stood in front of her.<br><br><em>'When did he get there?'</em> she thought to herself as she looked him over.<br><br>"The name's Sophie. You're Brandan right?" she yawned, getting rather tired quickly. Hopefully he won't take too long, because she would need a nap soon, lest she lose shape of the form she was in right now. She at least had to make it out of the house as a human and then could transform back, so that no one suspected anything. She stood there, and yawned again, waiting for him to say something but nothing was coming, and so she began to tap her foot. Yawning just once more before hand, she then spoke again:<br><br>"Can I possibly help you with something?" she spoke, a little irritated that this might possibly take a while longer than she had hoped.

				Happy to see Brendan in somewhat good spirits, the phoenix girl continued past him. She could smell the ripe apples and made her way to the table, nabbing one. Now that the boys were finished with their mock battle the house was surprisingly quiet once again. She could hear footsteps on the second level of the house and she raised her head, taking a bite of a red delicious as she did so. Appraising the sound, it became obvious that there was more than one person upstairs. Kat was missing so she assumed he was one.... but the others she had seen already were either in her sights or downstairs with Sophie.<br><br>Curious, she slowly walked up the stairs. Water was running in the bathroom so she continued down the hall where she found that the door to one of the other rooms was open and a rather waifish boy was dancing around carelessly. He hadn't noticed her and so she turned around to head back down into the kitchen once again. But Fiametta found herself stopping along the way, that insistent pull letting her know that it was Katsuhiko in the bathroom. She could feel steam coming out from under the door and she breathed it in, pressing a hand up against its frame and closing her eyes, dizzy with the humidity and a desire to be in that room...

				Kat stood in the shower letting the water rush over him once again. Felt his mind reach out for Fiametta. His earlier thoughts of just having someone massage his muscles changed to images of her. He shook his head and sighed as he put his hand to his head. "What am I thinking?" He asked himself out loud as he opened his eyes to the water. He was planning on staying in the shower until the hot water ran out. He couldn't get enough of it. He loved the steam. The warmth it gave his body. But even that returned his mind to the Phoenix girl. Strangely Kat felt closer to her then he had since landing on her upon their first meeting. He let her name slip from his lips. "Fiametta."

				"Well, actually it's <em>Bren</em>dan...." he began. "And I was wondering if I could talk to you..." He paused, not sure how to continue. <br><br>After several moments of trying to come up with a tactful way to ask his questions, he gave up and decided to just blurt it out. "Up in the kitchen, when you were yelling... I saw you start to change shape. I was just wondering... um... welll... Are you a supernatural being like Fiametta? And, if it's not too personal and if it doesn't seem like a strange question... um... Why are you here? I mean, how" He paused and scratched his head in thought. "How did you come by the L.E.R. chapter house? I mean, it seems like quite the coincidence that you would show up today when I was practicing summoning magicks. So are you...?"

Fiametta wanted to act in propriety's manner but... there was so much she wanted needed to know. So she gave in to her draw to Katsuhiko - at least for the moment as she told herself - and opened the door. She was rather unsure of her steps but took a few quickly enough to shut the door behind herself before anyone else might notice. "Katsuhiko..." she began in a serious tone, glancing at the foot of the tub but not looking directly at him. "I need to talk to you.."<br><br>

				Katsuhiko turned face Fiametta slowly. First in slight shock and secondly cause she entered the bathroom while he was showering. He did't bother covering up for she had already seen him and to be as bold as to step into the bathroom as he showered shyness was not the issue. He looked over at her keeping the water running over him to mask to sounds of them talking if anyone was to past by. He would't want to cause a scene with them both in the bathroom at the same time. "I wanted to talk to you as well." He says locking eyes with hers. For a second he thought the heat had risen in the shower. But that was only his attraction to Fiametta.

He turned his body to parallel hers. "If you are here for Brendan I won't take you away from my friend. But I can not help but want you to be with me." His eyes burned with passion as he stared into hers. He ran his hand through his hair and smiled before turning around. "I'm sorry. I'm being quite forward. You're a Phoenix you can choose who you want." His eyes drew down as he faced the walks and let the water beat on his tired shoulders.

"I have no intentions on that man. I can't see how either of us would be happy in that sort of... arrangement."<br><br>Katsuhiko's words started to sink in. this man was <em>interested</em> in her, seemingly on a deep level. But, she knew nothing about him and that put up a rather big roadblock. On one hand, she had been training herself to act properly for countless thousands of years an was attempting to take on a rather protective role when it came to mankind. On the other... while Fiametta was a legendary creature, intelligent and proud... she was also a bird, wild at heart and drawn by her natural instincts.<br><br>And Kat was.... so...very...beautiful.

				Katsuhiko smiled as Fiametta admitted that Brendan and herself would be nothing. Quite happy he felt himself grin harder. "No i suppose you wouldn't be happy." He forced out as he lifted his face to the water. "Its getting cold." He said somberly as the water continued to run. Shaking his hair wildly he ran a hand through it before turning to meet her eyes once more. "Well at least let me say welcome properly. You may stay as long as you please." Kat tried to keep his mind innocent but her being in the shower with him didnt help. If the water wasn't getting cold her would offer her one. He couldnt yet decide if he would let her shower alone or stay and watch as pay back for her seeing him naked twice now.

				His name was Brendan? Which was it now? Brandan or Brendan? She would take his word for what his name was, because after all, it was <em>his</em> name. Sophie sighed softly as the boy in front of her, was technically wasting the time she needed to get out of the house. Was she just going to have to give it all away? But she really wanted to mess with Alex some more, but more importantly, she really wanted to nap on his lap. She was quickly losing control on her human form, so she just decided to not care anymore, and transformed into her real form. Yawning again, covering her mouth with a paw, she looked up at Brendan. <br><br>"Yes, I'm a Bakeneko, a cat spirit. I'm not sure how exactly I came here, hell, last thing I knew I was in Liverpool, living in an alley." Surely a talking cat would come across as strange, but it was something that Brendan would have to get used to it. Specially if he kept summoning people like her and Fiametta. "I would still like to know why you summoned Fiametta..." she said softly, then once more yawned. She paused to look at Brendan and then shrugged a little. "Look I'm tired, I'd talk to you some more right now, but I really need a nap... So please excuse me for now," Sophie effortlessly transformed back into her human form, once more yawning and walked up the stairs.<br><br>When she arrived in the kitchen, her appearance was normal again, as if nothing had happened. She approached Alex, nonchalantly so, and tapped him on the shoulder. She waited until he stopped with his cooking and to turn around before she spoke to him. "Alex, perchance you have some where... less noisy where I can sleep? Preferably a bed, by chance?" she spoke softly, in a milky tone, whilst batting her golden eyes at him in an alluring manner. She thought, perhaps she could get him alone and in his room, so she turned on her charm.

				Without much thought, Fiametta responded to Kat's complaint about the temperature. She took a deep breath with her eyes closed and, when she exhaled, soft, billowing flames waved out from her body. They caused no damage to the fixtures in the room but there was a noticeable rise in temperature. It felt like a balmy day in the tropics. <br><br>"Thank you..." she said, taking a few more steps. "I really appreciate that." She was right up against the edge of the shower now and honestly deliberating over whether she should step in with him. She opened her mouth and looked him up and down with an almost hungry look for a long, agonizing moment. Then, summoning up all her willpower, she locked eyes with him one last time before turning to leave.<br><br>"I hope... we can talk about this more later... I apologize for intruding on your privacy." If Katsuhiko was paying particular attention to her face as she turned around, he would have seen a hint of a mischievous smile playing upon her lips.

				Katsuhiko watched as Fiametta left. He caught her smirk and couldn't help but give one of his own. Slightly disappointed she didn't join him in the shower that was once again hot thanks to her. But he would not force the subject on her. He bit his lip as he thought of the way she looked at him. He would do the same if the rolls were reversed. That he was sure of. <br><br>He enjoyed the shower longer before turning off the water and wrapping up in a towel. He wondered if Alex had finished dinner. He was quite hungry and Alex was a great cook. Brendan on the other hand was horrible. And for Krash, you'd wonder what planet he saw himself as he was cooking as you never knew what you were eatting when it got to the table. Thristan and Kame were average and Kat could bare with it. While he himself only made sushi which he was fine with but not everyone could eat it as much as he could. He decided he would get dressed before heading downstairs this time.<br><br>Walking downstairs and into the kitchen Katsuhiko leaned against the door frame and looked in. "Hey Alex! Food ready?" He shot his friend a smile and waited for a reply wondering where everyone else was.

				The food Alex had been working on was done and he was was moving everything into an easily accessible place on the counter when Sophie walked up to him and asked about a place to sleep. He smiled at her with his sly smile and responded "Certainly, after all it would be rude to leave such a lovely lady without a place to nap upon her request." he had reached out and placed one hand on her cheek and continued his sly smile.<br><br>He then stated "Fallow me" and escorted her towards the stairs. Kat's voice suddenly rached his ears asking about dinner "yes dinner is ready you con help yourslef it's on the counter near the stove. Careful though the front two burners are hot." <br><br>He led Sophie upstairs and into his room much to her hopes unbeknownst to him. "this room is mine....but you can borrow it for a little while if you would like" He had yet to make a move towards the door. With his smile still in place he stated calmly "You are quite beautiful Sophie you know that?"

				Watching a person who looks human change into a cat before your very eyes should be unnerving, to say the least. But after having summoned a strange girl into the basement in front of him, and having such girl turn into a blazing bird, if nothing else can be said about Brendan, he had learned quite quickly to take these things in stride. <br><br>Nevertheless, this girl's transformation, coupled with the small bit of personal information that she offered about herself was enough to render him speechless. The cat had <em>literally</em> gotten his tongue. And even as she went upstairs and he was left alone in the basement, his thoughts lingered particularly on what she had said about her sudden arrival here and how she had not known how it had happened. <br><br>"Liverpool, huh?" he said to himself. There was a thought nagging in the back of his mind, touching upon the edge of his conciousness the way a mosquito buzzes in one's ear. It was irritating and, try as he might to push it away, it kept coming back. <br><br><em>"Liverpool.... that's in the United Kingdom."</em> That thought kept harassing his mind. <em>"It's a series of islands in a temperate region... Yeah, and because of that they often have a lot of fog."</em> The mosquito bit. <em>"Fog! Oh my God - she <em>is</em> the first one!" </em> <br><br>He remembered the wording he had used in the old language. In his appeal to the powers that be, he had asked that in its search, the Universe reach across foreign lands and through the mists of space and time. <em>"Mists.... fog... across foreign lands. The UK was across the Atlantic, it was a foeiign land."</em> <br><br>"That's IT!" He exclaimed out loud. "The summoning <em>did</em> work!" With two fingers, he rubbed his right temple feverishly. It was all starting to make sense now. In many of the other types of spells he'd used, metaphores and figurative speech within the wording were perfectly fine. In truth, for some of those spells, they drew their power <em>from</em> the symbolism reinforced in the mind's eye. <br><br>But conjuration was definitely different. You were bringing a physical object to yourself, it would be like an air traffic controller giving instructions to a pilot trying to land his plane, by using metaphorical prose - no way that would work! You had to be literal and no-nonsense about your approach. <br><br>Brendan took in a deeeep breath, closed his eyes and pushed his doubts aside. He turned his head and his eyes opened upon the spot where he had performed the ritual. The diagram was still there... and he had his book in hand. He peered down at that book. <em>"I can do this..." &nbsp;</em> he thought. "I'm gonna do this." he said. His voice was soft, but firm.<br><br>He walked into the circle and began to light the candles.

				Tristan had changed into something he felt a bit more like himself in. He wore a pair of dress pants and a loose blue dressshirt as he turned off the music with a sigh and swung around the corner just in time to catch a strange girl coming out of the bathroom.<br><br>He raised an eyebrow at the sound of running water that came from within. "Well, now." he giggled, waving at Fiametta who blushed in response. <br><br>"Hello...." &nbsp;she dragged a foot repeatedly across a worn spot on the wooden floor. "I had been having a conversation with Katsuhiko..." She knew it was a feeble excuse, even though it was completely true. And he let loose a bit of raucous laughter and pounded on the bathroom door. "<strong>KAT!</strong> It's not like you to be so naughty!" he chided playfully before he moved toward the stairs.<br><br>Fiametta followed the boy out of a feeling of having to explain for herself. She recognized him as the one she had seen dancing around earlier before she ... walked in... on Katsuhiko. She trotted down the stairs behind him, tugging nervously on one of her ash blonde pigtails. "I'm sorry... I don't thin..." she began, trying to get his attention.<br><br>"Ah, don't worry about it." he waved her thoughts away. "Really, I should apologize. I was just teasing but that wasn't fair of me. I mean, we haven't even been introduced. I'm Tristan. ... One of the boys here, as I'm sure you've guessed."<br><br>"Fiametta..." she responded with a smile, reaching out to casually shake his hand. <br><br>He paused and looked her over with an appreciative smile. "How lovely! There was a ballet - and a sonnet.... Wait... let me see. I just read this last semester for a class..." He tapped his bottom lip thoughtfully, then cleared his throat and went on with a confident, dramatic tone:<br><div align="center">&nbsp; &nbsp;"Behold Fiammetta, shown in Vision here.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Gloom-girt 'mid Spring-flushed apple-growth she stands;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; And as she sways the branches with her hands,<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Along her arm the sundered bloom falls sheer,<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; In separate petals shed, each like a tear;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; While from the quivering bough the bird expands<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; His wings. And lo! thy spirit understands<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Life shaken and shower'd and flown, <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; and Death drawn near.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; All stirs with change. Her garments beat the air:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; The angel circling round her aureole<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Shimmers in flight against the tree's grey bole:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; While she, with reassuring eyes most fair,<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; A presage and a promise stands; as 'twere<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; On Death's dark storm the rainbow of the Soul. "</div><br>The slight girl shuddered as he spoke. Not only was there a command to his charisma, but the words he spoke seemed to speak right to the very heart of her. How true they seemed... How odd to come from an old source and her having only heard it for the first time now. She smiled when he finished and he returned it with a twinkle in his big brown eyes. The two continued down into the kitchen and began to engage in small talk so to become better acquainted with each other.

				Tristan and Fiametta came to sit at the dining table together. He reached out for an apple and finished some secret story he had been telling which made her cover her face with stifled laughter.

"Would you like a plate?" He asked sitting down offering his own. "I can go make another if you'd like." kat couldn't help be a gentleman. Not just cause it was Fiametta.

				Fiametta smiled at Kat. "I don't usually... eat." &nbsp;she responded, blinking quizzically in response to his offer. The apple was sitting pleasantly in what she had that was close to a mortal belly and since she usually ate roughage and had a particular like of spice and incense, she wrinkled her nose at the thought of eating flesh again and held up a hand. "I'll have to pass."<br><br>She put her elbows up on the table and rested her head on her hands, watching Katsuhiko bring in his food. She found herself bringing on of her pinkies up and biting down on it slightly while she enjoyed gazing at him. Knowing that the action would be noticed by everyone anyway, she followed trough by raising her eyebrows in a flirtatious manner. "But... <em>you're</em> looking quite tasty, though..."

She continued to brush her hair while sitting on her fish tail even as the steam cleared, her eyes closed to the outside world, covered only by a top made of seashells and a small skirt to hide her sex. When she opened her eyes, however, she looked around, soon realizing that she was not in Atlantis anymore. She looked around, wild eyed and shocked, to see she was in some dingy cell...with a human man. "A-A-AAAHHH!!!" She shrieked, flopping away from Brendan, her tail changing into human legs to let her move faster away. <br><br>"W-Who are you?!" She asked him, her accent sounding like one from the Caribbean. "W-What happened, why am I here?!" She pointed at Brendan. "I-I demand to know what you did!" She said, trying her best to be strong, but clearly she was distressed. Her hands kept herself shielded and pressed away from him in fear, wondering what had happened and why she was now in this dank cell with a strange man. The Steam seemed to condense around her and form a large puddle under her, which shifted as she became more distressed, forming into Water tentacles that would no doubt lash Brendan if he didn't answer quickly.

				Katsuhiko gave Fiametta a wink as he started eating. Her comment peeking his intrest more than her earlier smirk in the shower. He looked at the others around before mouthing a few words to her so they wouldn't notice. <em>"Id be happy to give you a taste."</em> He smiled and took an extended bite of his meatloaf letting the fork hang from his mouth a second. Then he added another comment behind it. "As long as I can get one in return." He said that part out loud. Thinking most wouldn't know what he was talking about hoping they didn't see his lips earlier. His arm muscles twitched some and he continued to eat, sharing seductive looks with Fiametta.

				Sophie's lips parted slowly, her lips perking a little and blush flushed her cheek as Alex's hand caught her off guard and stroke her cheek in a gentle manner. And those words before, that he spoke, combined with his soft touch, she just about melted right then and there. She had to control herself lest she lose sight of everything and transform into a bipedal, English talking, bob-tailed cat.<br><br>He was taking her to his room, oh it was her lucky day! Sophie blushed the whole way as they climbed the steps and moved into his room. She looked around, it somehow all appealed to her on a deeper level, and she felt very comfortable within its walls. She looked over at his bed, and then hearing him, turned to look at him and asked:"So do you mind if I rest on it right now?" she spoke softly, her eyes softening as she looked at him. And then he did one more thing to throw off her guard. He complimented her, and she jerked her head back a little in surprise, and her feet stepped back a little and she tripped over something. She wobbled forwards after attempting to balance herself in this form. It was to no avail though, the mobility and reactive flexibility of a human was much different from the cat and so she just fell softly into Alex's arms. As soon as she had a firm standing, her feet flat on the floor, she tilted her head up and looked at him, her golden eyes softening and her lips slightly parted once more. <br><br>"Do...duh...do you really think I'm pre--I mean beautiful?" her cheeks were now the color of pale red roses, and her eyes wavered slightly.<br><br><em>Could he possibly feel the same attraction I feel for him?</em> she thought to herself. Soon however her thought process completely halted as she took in his scent and found herself wrapped up in his existence. She found her hands traveling as her arms wrapped around him and she snuggled her face into his chest. Why was he so comfy? Why was she so attracted to him even though she barely knew him? Why did she want nothing else than to be in his arms? These were only some of the things that she was thinking at that moment.

				When the girl appeared out of the steam and began shrieking at Brendan, he had raised his hands and begun trying to find the words to calm her down. Though, he really wasn't able to get a word in edgewise as she continued in her histerics. Then, to make matters worse, Zame came rushing into the basement and actually stepped inside the summoning circle. <br><br>Both Brendan and the girl were, essentially, part of the summoning ritual. And, as such, their energies were intuned with the energies within the symbol upon the floor. It wasn't until Zame, being a stranger to the ritual, stepped inside the circle that the magical connection was suddenly - and abruptly - severed. A jolt like a stun gun ran up Brendan's spine and a queasiness far worse than what the ritual normally caused overtook him. <br><br>It was all he could do to get outside the diagram before becoming violently ill on the basement floor. His knees were shaky and his head ached. "Dammit Zame...." Brendan groaned cradling his head in his hands. "You don't just step into a ritual space in the middle of a spell. It has... bad.... reprocussions...for the caster." He gasped these final words out between heavy breaths sank to the floor, his head still in his hands. <br><br>After a few seconds, Brendan lifted his eyes up to look at the girl. "I'm terribly sorry for the trouble, Miss..." he began. "I didn't mean for my summoning to take you by surprise. And I certainly didn't think there'd be any outside intrusions." He cast a sidelong rather angry look at "Invader Zame" then looked back to the girl, his eyes softening. "My name is Brendan.... Tell me - are you in any pain at all? I'm sure Zame here.." He gestured toward his roommate. "...didn't mean any harm when he ran into the circle. But when an outsider interrupts a ritual it can cause a severe magical backlash to hit the participants. I'm sure it's probably mainly hit me... But I just want to make sure, are you all right, Miss?" He struggled weakly to his feet and feebly made his way over towards the girl, holding out a hand in a gesture of good natured compassion.

				Alex watched the spectacle of the girl asking if she could sleep in his bed right now fallowed by her head jerking and her feet tripping. He watched as though in slowmotion she fell towards him. once she was in his arms asking ifhe meant what he said he was about to answer when she snuggled into him. He gently wrapped his arms around her still smiling.<br><br>"Indeed I do think you are beautiful Sophie....very beautiful...I don't mind if you use my bed now" of course he could tell that was far from her mind at the moment. He would not tak advantage of this at all after all that would be wrong. Instead he just let her be comfortable.

				Hitomi looked at Zame, seeing the armor on his right arm and wrist, and instantly moved over to him, the magical backlash seeming to not effect her at all. "A-A knight! What luck!" She said, hiding behind Zame from Brendan. She couldn't help but take in Zame's scent as she hid behind him, and blushed at herself for becoming enthralled in it. "..Y-You summoned me?" She asked Brendan, staying beside Zame, her chest pressed into his back..indeed, her body pressed against his seemingly involuntarily. "F-For what purpose?" She asked, looking at the ritual. She had been taken so suddenly from her home, that the shock was slowly starting to dawn on her as she looked at the runes...she had been taught rudimentary runes by her mother, the one who had taught her magic and how to control the water that they lived in..or well, that she had formerly lived in now, and realized from the placement that the summoning ritual was something permanent..that she couldn't be sent back. This proved too much for the girl, and she fainted from the shock of so much happening at once, falling against Zame's back and to the floor behind him. Her water rushed in, as if moving on it's own, and surrounded her and Zame, a tentacle coming up to keep Brendan away. Clearly She had taken a liking to Zame, and trusted him enough to keep her safe, allowing him into this circle of protection.

				Now that Kat was actively returning her flirting, Fiametta found herself getting really hot. Of course, for her, this temperature change was hardly noticeable. But for the others in the room - particularly anyone near her at the table, it might be damn near uncomfortable. What she did notice were the changes in her current form. She wasn't all that used to being in a human body and she couldn't remember ever having been aroused in one - certainly not to this extent.<br><br>Her pale skin flushed, her nipples were noticeably erect and muscles she wasn't even aware she had tensed. All in all it was a little painful, quite moist and a lot of fun. To other girls, this was a normal thing and often hid. But Fiametta gasped just a little and clutched at the seat as she squirmed through the initial shock. <br><br>Eventually, she looked to either side to assure herself that she wasn't being watched too closely before locking eyes with Kat long enough to give him a slight nod.

Sitting up he frowned, "Why didn't any tell me the food was ready?" He scowled and then got up to grab himself a plate of food. The meatloaf smelled utterly delicious, and he wasn't going to wait any longer. Making a huge plate of food Krash walked back to the table and took his seat. "So who is the beautiful lady?" He gestured to Fiametta. Looking to Kat he grinned, "This your new girlfriend or something?" He asked and then dug in to his food like a viscous wild dog.

				In the wake of the girl's dramatic spectacle, Brendan stood, staring with a look that was both confused and mortified. After about 10 seconds, he raised a finger to point at Zame. "You're her knight now?" he said in an incredulous voice. "Give me a break! You burst into the ritual - nearly frying me by the way, thank you - and, for all we know, her fainting could've been caused by that, too. But she decides to hide behind <em>you?!</em> What the hell?! I mean, seriously, <em>what</em> is <em>so</em> herioic about barging into a situation without knowing what's going on?"

				Kat chuckled as he watched Fiametta squirm a bit in her seat. Giving Krash a quick look he blushed down at his plate before looking at Fiametta. "No she's not." In his mind the word <span style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">"<em>Yet</em>"</span> flashed in big gold colors as he smiled at her. His fork playing with the mashed potatoes on his plate. The change in temperature became apparent and Kat realized it as the same as in the bathroom earlier. He bit his lip looking down at his plate and slowly looked up through his hair at Fiametta before backing away from the table. "I think I'm done. I'll be in my room if anyone needs me."&nbsp; &nbsp;He smiled and took his plate the kitchen knowing it wouldn't be washed most likely till the whole sink was full or someone was extremely bored. But he didn't care. He took another look at Fiametta at the table before heading up to his room.<em> "I wonder if she will really come up here..."</em>

				Zame found himself slightly surprised when the girl rushed to him, "<em>A knight? Where did that come from?</em>" Zame became confused as the girl fainted and water sprang up as a barrier, "What the . . . " Zame poked at the moving water, it didn't feel strange to him. Zame's attention focused as Brendan began ranting, "Heroic? Tell me what's so noble about stealing someone from where they live, from their friends and family, and bringing them where nothing is familiar or comforting." Zame picked up the girl and got her on to his back, her skin was slightly wet but soft. "I didn't come here out of a selfish idea, nor am I summoning girls for my own selfish desire. I'm gonna find her a place to rest and then after she wakes I'm gonna converse with you again." Zame made his way upstairs from the basement, and to his room. Looking around his room for a suitable place to lay her down,"The couch probably is the best place, I don't need her freaking out if she wakes up in a bed and assuming anything." Zame laid her on his couch, and grabbed a blanket to cover her. "<em>Now I just wait for her to wake up.</em>" Zame sat down in front of the coach on the floor, and began playing a video game. Thoughts of the event rampaging through his head,"<em>Knight? Must be the scales on my arm.</em>"

				It wasn't long before Hitomi awoke on Zame's couch, her eyes fluttering open. Sleepily, she sat up, frowning. "ooh..where am I..." She said with a soft whisper, looking around. She had been moved again, and not back to her bedroom..but to a bedroom of someone elses's. She looked down at herself, and saw that her clothing, what little there was, was still on, and was glad for that. moving the blanket away, she moved to sit on the couch, turning to face Zame, noticing him only now while he played a video game. Her nose flared for a moment, taking in the scent of the room..the intoxicating scent that she had smelled earlier while behind him. "This...This is your room, isn't it." She said to him finally, shifting on the couch with a soft blush. "..I...I'm sorry for..earlier..and making you carry me here....I just...I'm so confused.." Hitomi said, putting her head in her hands, her long hair falling over her face, reaching the floor. "I..I was in my bedroom, brushing my hair..and then I was suddenly in that dungeon..and you came and rescued me.." Hitomi said with a soft blush, Looking at Zame through her locks of hair. "..T-Thank you..."

				Zame paused the game when he heard her speak," You didn't make me carry you, and you have every right to be confused." watching as her hair draped over her face and reached the floor. "To be honest I didn't think anyone else was down there besides Brendan, but I went to investigate when I heard you scream." Zame peered through her hair at her, reaching up at her moving aside her long hair, tucking it behind her ear to get a better look. "Your welcome." Zame realized that he was looking at a Beautiful girl who was wearing basically nothing. "You want something more to . . . " words left him, he wasn't sure what to say "wear? You must be getting cold or something."

				Hitomi looked down at her seashell bra and her small skirt, and blushed softly. "I..Yes, please." She said, feeling the need to cover up. But with Zame's eyes on her, she also felt hot for some strange reason..he was certainly attractive, for a human, anyway..Smiling softly to him, she slowly stood up. "A-Anything would be good....a...t-shirt? is that what it's called?" Hitomi said, blushing at her lack of knowledge of the human world. Certainly, she had read things about them, and studied them, but now that she was with Zame, her mind was clouded by something more..animalistic. "B-By the way..what are you doing there?" She asked, pointing to the TV screen and the video game that he had paused. It seemed pretty, so it caught her eye, and while Zame's scent intoxicated her, she tried to keep a cool and level head about her. "It looks interesting.."

				Zame stood up and grabbed a large T-shirt from his closet, "Here ya go, one of my favorite shirts." Handing her the shirt, he looked at the T.V. when she pointed. "I'm just playing a game with other people. It's an easy way to get rid of my frustration, or tension in strange situations." Zame sat down on the couch after moving the blanket to the side. "What you do is you run around and shoot other player. Everyone else playing is sitting in front of a T.V. like I am so no one gets hurt, but people have fun." Zame was playing Halo Reach, his avatar for the game stood on the screen. In the background other players were running around doing exactly what Zame had mentioned.

				Hitomi put on the shirt, and had a rush of Zame's scent flood into her nostrils again, causing the girl to fall onto the couch, sitting there stunned by the good smell. "Oh, yeah?" She said, only half listening to what he was saying. She smiled softly to him as he sat on the couch with her, and slowly leaned closer, to take in more of his scent. "Umm..M-my name is..Hitomi." She said with a soft smile. "W-What is yours, sir knight?" She asked him, feeling like a damsel that had been rescued by her knight in shining armor...a few pieces were missing, but she didn't seem to mind.

				Zame noticed that she leaned close to smell him, "Knight?" Zame thought for a moment, and looked at his <span class="bbc_u">arm</span> (http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad107/zamerageus/CIMG0643.jpg). "I'm not a knight by the way, I'd like to be one, but that requires being knighted by royalty." he began undoing the leather straps that held his armor together. Getting up from the coach he opened a drawer in his dresser, inside lay several other pieces of scale armor similar to the piece he just removed. Almost a full suit lay in the dresser drawer. Resting on top of the dresser was a <span class="bbc_u">Commandry sword</span> (http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad107/zamerageus/8084879_1_l.jpg) "My name is Zame"

				Hitomi pouted for a moment as Zame got up and left her on the couch, clearly having wanted him to stay. She watched as he put away his armor, and smiled softly. "You are a knight to me." She said with a soft nod of her head. "and..if I can ever go back to my kingdom..I'll knight you when I become queen, Sir Zame." She said with a happy smile, seeming more cheerful than before. She looked down at the shirt she wore, and sniffed it for another round of his scent. "You are..truly my knight in shining armor.." She said with a soft giggle, waiting for him to return to the couch with her to that she could once again be close to him.

"I am...or well..was, the princess of it...but now that I'm here..I don't know.." She pouted, looking away. "My parents must be worried...they're probably searching the oceans now to find me." She looked to Zame, gazing into his eyes. "...but..I suppose it's not all bad...I did meet my knight." She said with a soft giggle. "...So, what about you? Where do you come from?"

				Katsuhiko's smile sent the bird girl squirming again. when he finished his food and went upstairs she locked eyes with him at every opportunity and ended up teetering on the issue of whether she should follow him. Ultimately, she decided to stay seated at the table - at least for the time being. <br><br>Truthfully, she felt pretty guilty about barging in on his shower and she resolved herself to back off from him. If they were going to move forward, Fiametta thought it was best that he make the next move on his own. That way, she could be sure that she wasn't pressuring him somehow.<br><br>So she cleared her throat and looked around at the now nearly empty room.&nbsp; She cast a smile Krash's way. "No.... I'm just new here." she responded to his earlier question, finally. "It seems that your Brandan has been using his magic to attempt summoning." Just then, Zame came bolting upstairs with an unconscious girl in his arms. Fiametta watched with mouth agape an finally looked back at Krash, shaking her head in a disapproving way.

				Krash looked over Fiametta's shoulder to see Zame running up the steps with a girl in his arms. "So Brandan has been summoning these girls or is every boy in my frat have some kind of game that attracts beautiful women?' He laughed, and then finished his plate. Pushing it away from he sat back, and patted his stomach. "Well welcome to our house." He looked to Fiametta and smiled. "Shouldn't you be with Kat or something? He gave you the eye. I can tell he likes you a lot. Though he's never mentioned you to me before." <br><br>Krash got up, and pushed his seat. "I'm sorry about the craziness earlier. I have a very active imagination and well the guys seem to go along with it, and make fun of me but it's all good. So if I am running at you with my sword drawn don't worry you're not my target. You're to pretty to be cut." He said as he picked up his plate and offered Fiametta a friendly smile, and then stretched as he walked away and stopped to turn his head. "Kat's waiting for you." He said with a smirk and then washed his dish, and the put the food up. <br><br>"I'll never go back!" Krash kicked open the swinging door, and bolted off to the steps. Running up the wall, and jumping off to grab on to the rail. Climbing over, and darting back to his room. "I'll consult the wizard tomorrow, for now I must rest," he collapsed on to his bed, and slept.

				Unbeknownst to Alex, at that time that he said it was okay for her to use his bed, she had a scheming look on her face. It would be only be discovered if she moved her face from his chest, but she couldn't at the time, because she was wrapped up in everything that was him. Her feet started to move her backwards, taking Alex with her, and her destination was the bed. Hopefully she wouldn't trip over anything that would send them both falling, seeing as she had her arms wrapped around him and her hands locked together, behind his back. She kept moving until she felt the edge of the bed, and then without warning she turned Alex around and slammed him onto the bed in a forced falling manner, with her landing on top of him. She hoped he wouldn't mind, as she straddled his waist with her legs, slightly tightening her thighs around him as she sat up and stared down at him. <br><br>Her golden eyes now held pupils of a cat like manner, which may have been creepy, depending on the kind of person you were. It seemed that her body shape had changed just a little bit as well, her hips were now more curvy, and her waist a little smaller, and her breasts were not only perkier but now were a bit larger as well. She let her hair cascade around her shoulders and the ends of it barely caressed the top of her breasts, with a few strands falling over her face. Her lips parted slightly and had a pouty look to them now as she began to speak in a fluid and enchanting manner:<br><br>"Do... you feel something right here and here...when you look at me? If you do, do you know what it is?" She had placed her hands, one over his heart and one over the center of his stomach area, and the last words of her sentence had an innocent ring to them. She had a pouty confused look on her face now, and coupled with her cat like pupils it looked rather strange, and then she moved her hands to her stomach first. "Because every time I see you I have this weird feeling in my stomach, no, just right here like in the center of my being, its warm and it confuses me. And then my heart it beats so fast, why does it do thaaaaaat?!" she said whining softly at him, her head confused about the things that she felt, not knowing what to call them and could only describe how it felt. Sure she knew what attraction felt like, but this was starting to become something much larger, and much more different than that.

				Alex was a bit surprised to find himself flat on his back on the bed staring up at a much curvier sophie. she asked him these odd questions. "Hmm...I do feel a similar sensation in those areas" he remarked thoughtfully. His smile returning as he looked up at her. "It seems.....that perhaps it is Love" he chuckled lightly at saying this though he was not particularly familiar with this topic it seemed the case from what all sorts of books, and movies had stated.

She laid down on top of him, her head resting on his chest and she took in his smell once more before speaking to him.<br><br>"Alex... What's love?" she spoke softly her fingers tracing along his clothes, pressing gently onto his skin underneath them. She rested her hand on his hip, her fingers wrapping around it and her thumb painfully close to his groin.

				"That.....is a truly complicated question" Alex remarked sighing "I only described the feeling that way because it was the first thought to come to mind.......honestly I do not know what love is" He was being honest as he thought about it. He didn't really know and he felt quite out of his element.

Hitomi held up her palm, and the air slowly became drier as water collected above her palm, swirling into a ball. "See? I can control water." She said with a smile. "...And well..as a mermaid, I can give myself a fish tail, as well." Smiling softly to Zame, she couldn't help but feel her heart thump in his presence, a soft blush on her cheeks from thoughts of him and of course his smell. "I can breath under water too, of course." She said, simply stating the obvious. Smiling to Zame, she moved a little closer. "So, Sir Zame, what do you like to do? Besides save lovely princess's in distress, I mean." She said with a giggle.

				Sophie was a little disappointed he didn't have an exact answer for her, but what he said would have to work for her. She rubbed her hand around his hip, and nuzzled her face into his chest, sighing contently as she found him rather comfortable to lay on top of. She found herself losing herself in the moment as she lay with him. She slid her one hand down to envelope his, effectively holding it. Her fingers easily intertwining with his. Her other hand rested now on his chest as she nuzzled him once more on his chest.

				Alex smiled as sophie made herself comfortable. He gently gripped her hand when she intertwined hers with his. He looped one arm around her waist making sure to place the palm of his hand upon her back. He gently moved his fingers sort of rubbing her back with them. He was enjoying this. she would also feel something hard pushing against her. This particular fact did make him blush a little.

				Still alone Kat defaulted to her not coming up. Maybe he was more forward than he should have been. He sighed and laid back on his bed. "How stupid of me to think such a noble and beautiful <del>beast...</del> woman would be seduced like some whore." He threw his head back on the bed. "I will have to make it up to her...." He looked over at his event board and noted a tournament coming up soon. What if he were to win it for her. In her name he could win it and prove that he cared for her...maybe even... He stopped his thoughts as the word came to mind. <em>Love </em> Did he even know what that meant to <em>Love</em>...He rolled to look at the door and once again sighed.

				Sophie whined ever so softly when Alex's fingers caressed the small of her back, it felt strange in this form, if she had been in her original form it would have felt more of relaxing, but the feeling she got from his fingers on her skin now, was completely different. She could feel her human form's skin tingle with a slight electric feeling, combined with a short wave of something intense to her middle, to the center of her being. Her hips wiggled as she was on top of him in response to this sudden jolt of a feeling and her fingers gripping his hand a little more firmly now. As he continued to stroke the small of her back, her hands began to alternate, as in a true cat like function, she began to effectively knead him with her hands, particularly the one on his chest. She had noticed the sudden arrival of something hard underneath her, and all she did was adjust herself on top of him and put herself in a more comfortable position on top of him, her hips grinding into him in the process.

				Alex was a bit surprised by Sophie's actions but didn't stop since she seemed to be enjoying it. "You seem quite content there" he chuckled softly. Her hips ground against him and he let out a soft grunt at the sensation. He wasn't complaining at all. Fact was he enjoyed it and was content to let her remain there.

				After Zame had carried off the strange, fainting girl and left in a huff, Brendan had stood for several minutes with Zame's words echoing in his mind. <em>"Was Zame seriously accusing me of stealing them away from their homes? <strong>Forcing</strong> them to come here?"</em> Brendan <em>was </em> under the impression that summoning didn't work that way. Zame's outburst had brought to light something that he had not concidered. And this was, that though he had assumptions of how summoning worked, he had never actually checked the book to assure that those assumptions were correct.<br><br>He sat down in the circle and cracked open the old tome once again. He started skimming through it, speed reading through key paragraphs on every page, looking for any passage discussing all conditions and circumstances under which beings were brought to the summoner. After a few minutes of feverish searching, he found the passage that gave him what he was looking for:<br><br><div align="center"><em>"Those who woulde use this ritual must be aware<br>Though Ye may attempt calling an entity to you,<br>Whethere they answer the call<br>or not<br>is entirely up to them.<br>And, though many may call foul<br>and blame Ye for the calling,<br>and claim no concent, <br>Know Ye this:<br>The ritual can call none who're unwilling to answer.<br>Even if the answer only comes from their sleeping mind."</em></div><br>"Phew! That's a relief!" Brendan said with a sigh, closing the book. "I was almost worried I was being a tyrant." He gazed at the book's cover intently, a small smile creeping across his face. <em>"So, no matter what..."</em> he thought to himself, <em>"If I summon someone here, their hand wasn't forced."</em><br><br>The college boy's brow furrowed as his curiosity piqued. <em>"Then <strong>that</strong> means that they're all here because they wanted to be."</em> It was then he heard footsteps on the stairs and Fiametta's voice, sounding somewhat disapproving. As she spoke of him "summoning again" he slowly rose to his feet and brushed himself off. "Ah, Fiametta - Good! Actually, I wanted to speak to you about something..." &nbsp;He said as he began walking towards her.

				The fire girl's reaction to his casual demeanor was anything but pleasant. She came forward and waved a finger up dangerously close to his face, especially considering that a moment later, that hand burst into flame again. <strong>"I honestly thought..."</strong> she began loudly, the fire spreading up her arm and soon all over the rest of her slight frame. <strong>"That you had learned a lesson after what happened before..."</strong><br><br>She closed her dark eyes and took a deep breath in, her flames slowly receding until only a flicker licked at the tip of the summoner's nose when she went in closer. It was hot as a candle flame but didn't do anything more than cause the equivalent of a sun burn. When she opened her eyes once again, the motion was accompanied by a let out of steam through her nostrils as she exhaled: clearly she was making an effort at controlling her temper.

				Fiametta's firey outburst caught Brendan off guard and he stood rigid, with eyes wide and unblinking. And it wasn't until she went silent and let off some steam that he dared to address her statement. "Actually.." he said meekly, slowly raising the book up between him and Fiametta. While clutching it close to his face, he peered just over the top of it at her, as if warily using it as a shield. "I just learned something very important from this book." he finished. <br><br>"You see... occording to this book, no one can be summoned against their will. When an entity is summoned, on some level, it chooses to answer that call - even if it's not conciously aware of its choice. It's not like it's being dragged here..." He lowered the book and looked Fiametta in the eyes. His voice, though still a bit shakey, bosted a little more confidence. "So you see... just so we're clear... I want you to understand that I'm not some tyrant who put some sort of magical collar and chain on you and the others and dragged you here, kicking and screaming. If you came, it was because at least some part of you wanted to. And, well...." He paused briefly, rubbing the back of his neck where it met the base of his head. "I wanted to ask you.... Do you remember anything about when you were summoned? The things you were thinking? Or what you were feeling? I know I might be asking a lot. But, please... It would really help me understand why things have turned out the way they have." <br><br>Brendan looked down and to the side, his left hand conciously clutching his right arm, as if hugging himself for security. His voice became a mumble as he trailed off... <span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">"Why I haven't found... the one I'm meant to be with..."</span>

				The remaining steam from her rage escaped out with the breath of a sigh at Brendan's words. Somehow, he always appealed to her in a childlike way. In that sense, she couldn't stay mad at him - even when he was repeating his mistakes.<br><br>Still, a vein throbbed in her head as she pulled her red gaze up level with his. "Like I said when I got here.... I heard a call and I answered it. All I know is that it felt like destiny knocking at my door; that if I came here I would have exactly what I've always wanted.... It's a concept that doesn't really translate well into words. It's a feeling in my heart.... " She shrugged helplessly, taking a mundane deep breath.

				Brendan rubbed his chin thoughtfully as Fiametta spoke. "Hmmm... I see..." he said. He tapped an index finger against his lips and squinted as if looking at something in the distance, deep in thought. <br><br>"I... I think I need to go talk to Sophie..." Brendan concluded. He began moving toward the stairs then remembered his manners and turned back to Fiametta. "I'm sorry, Fiametta, was there anything else you wanted to talk to me about?"

				Brendan shrugged and made a vague explanatory gesture with his hand. "I wanted to talk to Sophie... See - she showed up out of the blue and claims she doesn't know anything about how she got here. Plus, I know for a fact she's a supernatural being, much like yourself, Fiametta. It may sound like a crazy theory, but I think maybe my first summoning <em>wasn't</em> a failure." He looked back at the diagram on the basement floor, his gaze and his voice becoming somewhat distant. "I think <em>she</em> might be that first summoning attempt."

				"We think so, too.." Fiametta nodded, turning to face the stairs. She folded her arms across her chest. "But I don't think that Sophie's going to be able to put much more of a light on that, I'm afraid... She's confused as you and I on this. Heard a call..." she flipped out an arm with her palm-up. "answered it... and found herself inexplicably drawn to that Alex boy."<br><br>Fiametta tugged absently at one of her pigtails again. "Tell me, Brendan... Was that other girl drawn to one of your room mates? Because, if so... I'm beginning to notice a trend..."

				Vassily's elbow bumped against the doorbell of the house setting off the chimes.&nbsp; Although he was in no state to notice, busy stealing Rebecca's breath as they embraced each other passionately.&nbsp; The bell rang again as he turned Rebecca around and pressed her against the doorway.&nbsp; Vassily pulled away to take a breath as well as fetch his keys, he smiled at Rebecca's flushed face as she panted for breath.&nbsp; "Just hold on a bit, I assure you my bed will a lot more comfortable than leaning against the door."&nbsp; Vassily found his keys and hurriedly unlocked the door and let Rebecca inside.<br><br>Keeping his hand around her waist, Vassily closed the door and walked through the house to get to his room.&nbsp; Unsurprisingly the others were no where to be seen.&nbsp; Probably up their hobbies or something.&nbsp; Vassily pushed away the thought as he opened his door.&nbsp; He was entertaining ladyfriends.&nbsp; The others would have the good sense to knock otherwise.&nbsp; Vassily drew Rebecca in close.&nbsp; "Now how about giving me some more sugar?"

				Kat heard the bell ring but didn't move to answer it. This time at night was never a good time. He hated dealing with drunken collage students. The thought made him think about the last time he had gotten drunk. He sighed and rolled over in his bed. There were to many distractions keeping him up. He had almost forgotten he joined an open tournament for tomorrow. He wondered if Faimetta would come watch him. As he settled in his mind endless flipped through pictures of her as his eyes shut on the day.

				Sophie looked down at Alex, and for a moment had a soft look in her eyes until she ground him once more and felt something strange between her legs. She looked down at his lap and then back at him slightly confused. She tilted her head and looked at him, her eyebrows raised and her lips pursed. With her confused look, she pointed to his lap and spoke. "Do you have a wallet in there or something?"

				Alex blushed a little at Sophie "No...I......I'm quite enjoying this....." He then explained to her about Male hormones causing him to have an erection and that was what she was feeling. He chuckled lightly as he told her that she was quite attractive and it was her fault he had this problem to begin with.

				At first while Alex explained to her the functions of a male human body, she was intrigued, confused, slightly disgusted and then in the end fascinated. She listened to him intently, but as soon as he said it was her that caused in him this kind of reaction she frowned a little. "I'm sorry Alex... I didn't know. Is there any way I could help you out? Or perhaps maybe I should leave?" she spoke as she poked her index fingertips together as she looked at him with pursed lips and slightly flushed cheeks.

				He began to laugh at this after all he was quite amused by her reaction "ah that was a compliment sophie"&nbsp; He found her reaction quite adorable to. "As for helping well.....I'd rather not rush things so it's perfectly fine"
