Braxton had an amused grin on his face.
"You and Alice get along well for familiar and Mistress," Braxton commented.
"Huh? That's not normal?" I asked.
"Not really. Maybe it's a bond thing. Our familiars love for us depends on their mood. That's why it's taking Kage awhile," Braxton revealed.
I glanced back to Kage who looked to be in deep concentration as he stood there.
"Depends on their mood? So one day they could adore you and the next they can wish you would fall off a cliff?" I summarized.
Braxton laughed, petting Alice gently.
"Pretty much. Maybe male familiars are more stubborn than females?"
"Is your familiar a guy?" I asked.
"Yup, but he likes to change to a she and piss people off." Braxton winked and I gave him a confused look.
"I don't see what you're implying with that wink, Mister," I mumbled and his playful grin widened.
"No hidden meaning. He just seriously loves to irritate people. Full of mischief. That's why I don't summon him unless I need to."
"Ah. I guess you wouldn't want to piss off anyone here," I mumbled more to myself than Braxton.
Alice never really had behavioral issues and always listened to me when I needed her.
Maybe it was because we grew up together or something.
"How long have you had your familiar for?"
"Ten years. So when I was fourteen. Kage got his when he was six I think." Braxton scrunched his face, as if trying to recall.
"You don't remember?" I asked.
"Kage hid his familiar from us thinking our Father would get rid of him," Braxton revealed.
"Oh."
Braxton placed Alice in his lap before he leaned back, using his hands to support himself as he looked up at the bright sky.
"Our Father was strict and didn't allow us to have pets, so Kage assumed he'd get rid of Koa. When our parents found out, Father did want to get rid of him, but it didn't take long before we realized he was a familiar and not a normal animal. Well...it took him making a tornado in the kitchen for us to figure that out," Braxton explained, his voice low so only I'd hear the story and not to ruin Kage's concentration.
"Tornado? What kind of familiar is he?" I wondered.
Maybe if it was fire, I'd think a phoenix or something. It was hard to know what a familiar's main animal was.
Alice technically had three and we'd never been able to narrow it down to determine her favorite. I guess she'd choose to be human if anything but that sometimes backfires depending on the situation.
"He's a—" Braxton began but we both froze as goosebumps crawled up my skin.
I quickly turned my head in time to see a large purple magic circle form above Kage who still had his eyes closed.
He raised his arm up and with a flash of lightning, a bright gold form emerged, resting on his arm.
Alice...
"Hmm? What's the commotion? What's with the high level of magic?"Alice questioned.
