Ciara slapped her forehead when Botis gave away his position so easy. She had refrained from calling him count in the precense of Rico, but Botis just went and blew it.

Rico was still trying to get his sword out of his sheat, but gave up after he realized that he wasn't going to succeed. Instead he akwardly crawled out of Botis arm grip and stood on the other side of Ciara.

''Rico here, is a friend I made when I came to live in this forest. I kinda saved him when he got into a fight with Cherub and Surgat'' Ciara grinned while Rico scratched the back of his head.

''really Ciara, those two might look like they can't do a thing but when it comes to protecting you they go to any lenght'' Rico said looking around.

''those two aren't with you?'' 

''a, no. Count Botis doesn't like them very much'' Ciara awnserd Rico, who seemed a bit reliefed.

''anyway, count Botis. The reason Rico could sense that you are a demon is because he and his family have a gift''

''to sense the demons and their...... playmate's'' Rico said akward as Ciara laughed again.

''before he met me he thought that witches danced around naked under the full moon doing all kinds of spells to make humanty's life miserable'' Ciara teased Rico.

''don't remind me of it, it was the way I was raised''

Ciara saw that Botis wasn't really keeping up with the conversation.

''Count Botis'' Ciara said carefull

''Rico is the son of a witch hunter''
