Rain Dance

"No. Its a earth cat." Dawn stated. "She gave him to Damon after she found the poor thing in the wild. It claimed us."

Now the kitten was climbing up his pant leg. "I see. Do you guys actually have wings, by the way?"

"We can. Its magic." Dawn chuckled. "Same with Demons and their wings."

"...I've got wings, but I have no damn control over them," Voltaire grumbled.

"Must be a shame." Dawn remarked. "I would show you my wings, but they're too big to summon in here and I'm not allowed to summon them outside when its light out."

"I could see how that could be awkward," Voltaire answered with a smirk, before his expression turned slightly more serious. "From what I've heard my wings have bright red feathers and are made of fire. But I can't really give you any personal details 'cause I can never remember summoning them."

"Hmm. Sounds like you're about to go through the change." Dawn commented almost absently.

"Change?" asked Voltaire, as Lucifer curled up in his lap. "You mean evolving?"

"Changing from a human to a demon." Dawn nodded. "You've started to pull larger amounts of energy from your demon host without a conscience effort."

"Great," Voltaire grumbled. He had been trying to avoid it, but it didn't really surprise him either.

"The only way to reverse it would be to take your heart back, and that isn't even really foolproof." Dawn stated. "But I'd give it a month, maybe two." He looked at Voltaire with a soft smile. "Sorry about your luck."

(I like being Dawn for some reason. He's amusing)

(I like playing chars that are almost nothing like me. One reason I have so much fun with Voltaire)

Vltaire snorted. He knew taking his heart back wasn't an option. Though Adair's Chiaroscuro attacks had lessened they could happen at any time, and if his heart wasn't there to beat for both of them then Adair would become just another heartless Gale. End of story.

"...Oh well. Wasn't like I didn't see that coming."

"What are you going to do about Kimi?" Dawn asked. "When you change I mean"

"What do you mean?" asked Voltaire.

"Exactly what I said. "What are you going to do about her? Ava will still have her heart won't she?"

"Yeah, probably," Voltaire replied. "The doc said it was unlikely she was going to evolve or anything though, since she's already a demon. But...my memory's probably going to be a wreck. I might have trouble even remembering her."

"One never forgets who holds their soul." Dawn stated. "What do you think Demons give their lovers rather than their heart?"

"...Point," said Voltaire, though he was worried of what his black soul might do to the holder. It hadn't been too good for the water sprite creature or anything else that had tried to drain him directly. It made him more worried instead of less.

"So you honestly shouldn't have a problem remembering" Dawn concluded

"I guess," Voltaire replied.

Lucifer swatted at his arm. Voltaire released a small flare to spook the kitten but not harm him.

Rather than be spooked, Lucifer leaned in closer.

"Don't bother. Cat isn't scared of anything." Dawn chuckled.

"Guess he's seen too much weird crap already," Voltaire replied, putting out the flame before Lucifer could burn himself on it.

"Yep" Dawn agreed. The silence stretched on.

"Anything else I should know?" Voltaire asked after the long pause.

"About?" Dawn asked. He absently traced runes on the table, his fingers leaving a softly glowing trail.
