"Of course I'd have to kill him too, he is far too infatuated with her. He'd probably die of heart break though, which I think would be much more amusing to watch. While I do enjoy watching the life leave the eyes of the living, I find nothing more enjoyable than to watch them slowly crush themselves under emotional hurt. It makes taking what is left all the more delicious, all the tiny broken bits. He was like that before, you know. Just slowly crushing himself, but then he met her." Flauros gripes. "And as for my 'distaste' for humans, that is only a given. I refuse to bow my head before an utterly flawed race that is barely out of its diapers. And as for that woman's blood. I would not know unless I drained her completely dry. A bit too messy for my tastes these days..." He watches silently as Ra picks up one of the cats that had gotten too close, he offered no real reaction, even as the feline leaped from his arms.

"Cats are the best company one could ask for. They are self-sufficient and do not require constant care, but are there to snuggle and listen to your woes and troubles if you need them to be. They are nothing like humans, despite what you say. Because while they do die and are reborn, they are never exactly the same cat... As to where when some humans are reborn they are merely the same thing over and over again." Flauros shakes his head. "I do not pick favorites among my pets. But if you do harm one I cannot promise you that you won't have cat guardian's warding off your dead, as you know, that is part of their job."

"I do not involve myself in the affairs of mortals because of their stupidity for power. Power is a dangerous thing that many abuse." The demon casts a downwards look towards Ra, narrowing his fire-brimmed gaze.

Gin seemed pretty happy to be set down once inside the room. Quickly his form changed, back into his cloths and everything. He offers a rather hopeful grin towards Effy. "Sorry about that... I slept here quite a bit and I was out like a light once the cats got back around me." He mumbles, his face now somewhat red. "I hope it didn't... freak you out too much. I don't normally change shape when I sleep, I hate it when he does that." Gin mumbles, waving his hands a bit at the cats staring at Effy. It took a few moments but eventually many of the felines looked away from her and began to go back about their normal routine. But there were still several who stood still, some staring at the doors, others staring at the walls and ceiling... almost as if waiting for something. They were quite on guard it seemed, prepared if anything. "Was Flauros mean or anything...?"

"Then what are you waiting for, my friend? Bring them out here! I'm tired of your talk. I want actions. I want results. The faster you kill the girl, the faster I can reanimate her and add her to my collection. As for what you do with that tarnished soul of her's...I don't care. Souls mean nothing to me anymore. Too messy and unstable for my liking." Ra's flicked his cigarette to the side, placing his hands in the pokets of his designer pants. He watched the demon intently, unsure at what he was playing at. The Necromancer had no time for games. "Oh, yes, of course. Because there is no such thing as a power hungry as a power hungry demon or other creature. Of course it is only the humans that care so deeply for power that they kill one another to gain it. Save your shit for some who gives a fuck. Now stop talking and go get the girl. I want to watch you kill her."

Effy sat down on the bed, pulling her legs to her chest. "He was decent enough for a demon. Though he made it painfully clear that I am not worth the trouble that is going on around me. He also made it clear that magical creatures are attracted to me because I've fucked them all." She frowned, not realizing how angry she truly was at what he had said. Coming here had been a mistake.

"Did you think I was kidding about burning her corpse? There will be nothing left for you to reanimate. If I am to kill her, I mean -all- of her. I destroy in wholes, not halves. If you want her corpse, what is it you will offer me in return? You better have something hefty on the table or leave now while I still tolerate your unwelcomed intrusion of my evening." Flauros merely stood still, arms now loosely crossed over his chest, giving the Necromancer a clearly bored stare. "Unlike most others I will allow minor intrusions, but this is stepping far over your bounds, especially with such demands that involves one of my toys."

Gin was quiet for a couple of moments while Effy spoke, he frowned a bit. "Ah, he just speaks what is on his mind and has a serious human-complex. I really didn't want to come here either, but, this is probably the second safest place in the city for us... Well, as long as he is feeling generous." A soft sigh escapes Gin as he pushes himself up off of the floor finally, he quickly stretches and plops down on the bed beside Effy, giving her a light nudge with his arm. "And its not that. Its more like... its in your blood." The shapeshifter tilts his head to the side for a few moments. "I didn't really notice it at first, but you do give off a strong sense of 'other' to you. Its very appealing to magical kind, I figure. I only read about that kind of stuff though, or well, Flauros told me about it." Gin stops talking for a moment, letting out a sigh. "He means well, he really does. Demons don't have all the emotions like humans do, you know? They can fake it but in the end, its still fake. Did he give you the whole 'love is the same as hate' talk while I was out?"

"If he truly didn't like you, he wouldn't have let you have any of his Vodka and the cats wouldn't even go near you."

Somehow, Ra's seemed even more bored than the demon. "You demons are all the same. You run your fucking mouth and then you never come through. Please, for the love of your stupid, fucking cats, bring her out here and shut your mouth." his voice was cold. He would not wait any longer. If it came down to it, he would rip her from the confines of the church. "While you're at it, bring the shapshifter out. I want him to watch. I wouldn't want you bringing him out as Effy instead. That would put a damper on the evening."

"He gave me that talk and about a thousand others. I thought they would never end." Effy hugged herself, leaning against Gin. "You know I can sense that he's here? I don't know who it is, but I can feel him. He's calling out to me. He wants me to join them. He wants me to join them." She turned to look at Gin, sizing him up. "I don't think you or Flauros can protect me. It doesn't matter how long it will take, he'll find me. He'll make it so that I can never leave, never escape. The first time I escaped, I could feel how angry he was. I thought the anger would kill me..."

"Stomping your feet like a child is not going to make me move any faster." Flauros suddenly leans forward, crossing his arms over some unseen object. He rests his head upon them, merely gazing towards Ra with a sharp fanged grin. "Much unlike you, I like to keep my toys happy. Its much better to have them trust you completely and come to you when you call rather than a lifeless corpse." A soft sigh would escape from the demons cracked lips as he rolls his head to the side, now resting it upon his arm. "You know how this goes. Give me something of greater value and I will give you the bitch. Throwing around your threats is very unbecoming." At this point, nearly all the cats seemed to have vanished. Flauros was obviously unphased by Ra's words, not even batting a flame filled eye at him.

"You underestimate Flauros a lot." Gin mutters, tilting his head a bit as Effy would size him up. "And yeah. I know how that is. You can feel them calling to you, sort of drawing you to them." He was silent a few moments. "Its the only way I found my way here, actually. He use to have a different place on the other side of town just outside of Micael's territory. Demons are really greedy things, but then again, so are a lot of creatures." He stops talking for a moment, slowly lifting up a hand to rub his eyes. "I really don't just want to hand you over to him, Effy. You'll die, you know? You'll die and I will just stop and be back to being Flauros' pet cat. Or maybe I'll just die too and that will be the end of it." A frown forms onto Gin's face as he shakes his head.

"But you know, they say death isn't that simple. Yeah your physical body dies, but there is still your soul left. Apparently a lot happens after you die and sometimes it is worse than what you are trying to escape." Gin finally turns though, to face Effy with probably the most serious face he has ever made. "This world without you is not some place I can really find myself being in."

Ra's simply sighed, lighting another cigarette as he gazed passed the demon at the church. She was so close, yet still so far. He craved her. "What about that one beast? The one you stole from hell. Her name was Lillith or something of the sort. She was dragged back to hell, last I heard. What if I returned her to you? Micael said you sulked for years over the she demon. Mmm, the image of you sulking is rather amusing. If bringing someone back doesn't suit you, you can name your own price. I'm sure I can afford whatever it is that you want." The Necromancer continued to stare at the church, as if ignoring his host.

Effy wrapped her arms around Gin, planting a soft kiss on his cheeks. His words stung, making her feel guilty for wanting to leave earlier. She knew he was right, she would die if the creature got his hands on her. "You won't have to go on without me, I'm not going to leave. You don't have to change your face anymore, because I'm here. Somehow, we'll make it through. I promise. I love you."

"Nnnnmmmm....." Flauros manages out with a bit of a purr, though it doesn't last very long as he merely leans more heavily against the unseen object before him. "You are going to have to better than that. I could get her back if I truly wished, but you cannot merely 'control' Lillith, you know. She is a wild thing. And you don't put those in cages, it makes them boring." The demon tilts his head to the side a bit, flashing another fanged grin. "And since my cousin is being so kind as to share such information, I will tell you a bit about him. Did you know he once actually wept tears over a kitten I gave him after he killed it? Honest to god tears, he shed! It was so stunning I could hardly contain myself. Laughable to think he actually wanted another." But Flauros was not budging. It was quite apparent the demon was firmly standing his ground.

Gin lets out a soft content sigh as Effy hugged onto him. He quickly hugs onto her. "Good.... I am really glad. Its scary sometimes when you change your face. You can easily forget who you are." Lightly he nuzzles his face against hers, slowly more cats would begin to enter the room. Many of the creatures looked a bit tense, worried. Quite possibly because what was about to go down outside, or maybe something else entirely. "I love you too, Effy. So much more than you'll probably ever know." He mutters out as one of the cats suddenly attempts to jump up into their laps.

"Micael cried, and I wasn't there to witness it? I'm so disappointed!" Ra's exhaled, running his fingers through his hair. The demon was not going to budge. "It seems that we are at an impasse, friend. How can we reach an agreement? You have no use for the girl, and I desire her greatly. I can give you anything. I can bring back anyone or anything. What do you want, demon? I can give you anything. Anything at all. If we cannot reach an agreement, I'll have to resort to less...savory methods." His voice was venomous.

Effy curled into Gin, watching the cats intently. What was going on? She wished they would share what was on their minds. "How much longer must we stay here? The cats are starting to worry me...they almost look scared." As if hearing the questions in her mind, the hairless cat appeared at her feet.

"We are scared. A battle between a demon and a powerful Necromancer could mean death for us all. Fear not, though! Our protector is striking a deal with the evil one. If a deal is not reached, the Whore will be destroyed in front of the Shapeshifter and Necromancer. It sounds like a beautiful evening, doesn't it?" The cat purred happily.

One of the other cats hissed at the feline, a deep but oddly appealing shade of red with lighter orange stripes. "How is that beautiful? Death is never a pretty thing! We'd have to kill him too." Carelessly the creature tosses her head towards Gin. "Do you really want to deal with that all over -again-? As much as I do not like her she does bring some balance, even you can see it."

Gin was quiet as he listened to the cats, letting out a soft sigh. He had listened to them bicker many times before, but that the moment all he could hope was that Flauros would pull through and do what he always did. While everyone knew better than to trust a demon, Gin had an insanely hard time not too, especially when all the guy had ever done was help him. He didn't think he would give up so easily, at least, he hoped not. Lightly he gripped onto Effy, just shaking his head. "Give him a bit longer..."

Flauros nodded towards Ra, slowly exhaling. Though suddenly the demon pushes himself up, stretching a bit as he moves from his invisible counter. "No use for her, true. But I love watching you squirm in trying to get her. You offer me all these things but I truly have use for no human objects nor any supernatural ones. Hard to bargain with someone who wants nothing from you or anyone else. But how about we strike a deal... I will give you two days to talk with my younger cousin and whomever else you might want to see if you can figure something out that I want, and if you can find something within that time, I will give you the woman AND my shapeshifter to do with as you please." He was quiet a moment as he lightly scratches his chin with claws. "But if you cannot find something with the two days, you must do as I say for... hmmm... twenty years?"

"Balance? She's ruined our purrfect lives! They should both be killed for their trespasses! I see no reason that they should be protected! Let her burn." The hairless beast watched Effy intently, his tail moving back and forth slowly. His green eyes glowed with hate. There was nothing more he would want than to see the girl burn. His eyes drifted towards Gin. "I wouldn't mid watching you burn, too."

Effy watched the cats in horror. What was going on? This was too much. "What the actual fuck is going on here?! I thought your demon was supposed to help us! Not burn me to a crisp!" Her eyes glowed. Anger replacing her normally charming disposition.

Ra's smiled and bowed, disappearing in a whisp of thick, black smoke that killed everything it touched. A contact floated down the watch below, signed and sealed with blood. Ra's would have his girl. Besides, what was twenty years when you lived forever?

The red cat snorted a bit. "Fool. I bet you'll eat that rotten tongue of yours." Slowly she turns her pink eyed gaze towards Effy, puffing out her chest somewhat. "I'd just ignore him, honestly. Our lives were never 'purrfect'. If they were, do you really think we'd be here?" Though suddenly the feline moves over towards the fur-less cat, attempting to lightly butt her head against him in a non-aggressive manor.

Flauros slowly exhales, leaning back as he looks up into the dark night sky. There were no stars to twinkle for him this evening and he had the sinking feeling there wouldn't be for a while. Ra would be back, and he would be back with something good, hopefully. Tilting his head from side to side, slowly Flauros turns on the heels of his fancy, expensive shoes before heading back inside. His eyes were still made of flame and his teeth were still all fang. He didn't quite feel the urge to change back, for once. Maybe it would be a good idea to rake his claws against someones skull, or maybe he just wanted someone to scratch between his ears. At any rate, all he had to do was refuse whatever Ra offered and everything would be fine for another twenty years or so. And by then, either the woman would already be dead or maybe Ra would be over his little obsession...

But Flauros had the feeling his first thought would be more accurate. The demon lightly closes the doors behind him as he moves over to the bar, silent as ever, even as several felines move to greet him. Reluctantly he reaches a hand up, snagging a bottle off of the wall with a bit of a sigh. With that, he spins and promptly barges into the room with Gin, Effy, and most of the cats were at.

"Soooooo! I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. Which do you want first? Pick carefully while I open my bottle of apple juice." He purrs out with a fanged grin.

Gin was relatively quiet as the cats and Effy spoke, he seemed to be a bit zoned out, at least until Flauros pushed into the room holding a rather large, dark wine bottle. The demon was spouting something about good news and bad news. Reluctantly he lifted his gaze from Effy, looking to Flauros. Just as he goes to open his mouth though, the demon snaps his fingers. "Ahhhht. Not for you to answer. Effy-lady." The demon then points a clawed finger at her rather expectantly. "Good or Bad."
