¿ªÔÆÌåÓý[Kutsuki] "Better," Kutsuki curtly said, walked over to his bed and plopping down, leaning back on his hands as he crossed his legs, letting one freely swing as he looked back at Pyp.? As for the parent comment...? "They aren't spiritual.? My parents at least, though I can't say the same for my best friends.? Delphine, at least, seems to be sensitive to the occult and the arcane, so I can't promise you that she won't notice you.? BUT, she'll be out for all of summer, so we're fine, for now anyway."? He took a brief pause, appearing thoughtful as his eyes seemed to focus on something beyond Pyp but then brought himself back to reality. "Whether you are really here to protect me is yet to be seen.? If I am to take you at your literal worst, your gestures of "good faith," as you called it, don't seem to come without some sort of fine line.? Am I to expect having to pay for every single one of your favors moving forward?" he inquisitively asked, going back to what Pyp mentioned first.? "I find it hard to grasp to grasp what possible mistake I may have made by having you clean up the room.? You seem to want to be civil, yet you continue to think of me as some foolish rookie.? This isn't my first rodeo, Pyp." (Pyp) "Nononono," Pyp said, grinning as he wagged a negating finger at Kutsuki.? "Lesson number one.? At the moment, I'm not here to protect you. I'm protecting you so that I can stay here.? _Big_ difference." "Mind if I sit?" the demon asked.? Without waiting for a response, he snapped his fingers and a chair appeared, ornate like the first chair but this one in a distinctly French style with elegant curves to the legs and arms and upholstered with purple fleur-de-lies. Plopping himself down, he made a flourish with his fingers which suddenly held a gold-tipped cigarillo, already lit.? The demon took a luxuriant drag, then blew a series of four perfect smoke rings at the ceiling. "Lesson number two.? You released me from the circle before asking me your three questions, which was bad enough.? But worse is that you didn't put any restrictions on me."? Pyp turned his gleaming red eyes intently on his summoner.? "What you don't seem to know is that once you give me an order or a request, the deal between is sealed.? After which it cannot be altered.? _That_ is why I bent the rules a bit..." he snickered, adding "which I love doing by the way.? By doing what you wanted _without_ making it a formal response, I've left things open." "So you now have a chance," Pyp said, leaning back in his chair like a cat making itself comfortable. "Ask your two remaining questions and put your three bindings on me.? Before I finish my cigarillo, if you please. Oh, and lesson number three." The demon grinned impishly.? "If you tell me to put it out, that counts as your first order. So always remember that your words and wording matter." Tag - Kutsuki |
