D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad

Chapter 6: ...Peace in Equal Measure

Katʼs morning routine was pretty standard until she went to return to her room. Looking down Kat saw Sylvie pulling on her skirt.”Whatʼs up Sylvie?” Kat asked

”Are you going to talk about yesterday now?” said Sylvie

”I was under the impression you would want to shower fi…” Sylvie kept staring at Kat stopping her from speaking

”Right, ok then I guess we are talking about this right now, come on then.” Kat said

Leading Sylvie back to her room she lifted the little girl onto her bed and sat down beside her.”So Sylvie, if you really want to know whatʼs going on I have two things to tell you about. One of them is nothing major and the other one is something Iʼm not sure you will actually want to know about but I keep my promises ok?” Kat said

”Tell me about the little problem” Sylvie replied

”Ok, well Gramps informed me that I have to move out before I turn eighteen” said Kat

Sylvieʼs eyes went wide and she started to pout, it was as if she was trying to contain all the words she wanted to say so that she had the chance to think them over. Sylvie leaned over and wrapped her arms around Kat before looking back up and asking”If you leave can I come with you?”

Kat was stunned. *I, I donʼt know Sylvie, how am I supposed to answer that question, yes, no, maybe? I donʼt want to ask if sheʼs serious, I could see how much effort she put into thinking about what to ask me first and there is none of the over the top panic Lilly had…*”I donʼt know Sylvie, I donʼt know” said Kat

Sylvie looked like she was about to respond but she stopped and begun poking Kat in the side. A look of confusion crossed her face as she kept poking around the side of Katʼs stomach trying and failing to identify the tail hidden underneath Katʼs shirt. After a minute of poking Sylvie looked up at Kat, the question unspoken but present.

”Thatʼs the second thing Sylvie, do you want to move on to that instead?” Kat askedSylvieʼs eyes flickered for a moment, Kat could also see the battle raging in her mind debating over asking more about staying with Kat or moving on to this completely strange thing she had no guesses for. In the end she looked to Kat and said

”You really donʼt know if I can stay with you?” *Gah the eyes, not the eyes have mercy on me Sylvie, I donʼt even know if I can take care of myself let alone you as well, Gramps taught me to cook but he always gets to the kitchen first and what about school, and and… fine.*”Iʼll see what I can work out Sylvie, I still donʼt know, but Iʼll do what I can” Kat sighed

The little girl smiled brightly at that before returning to a more serious face just as adorable as the smile.”Now I wanna know whatʼs funny about your stomach Kat I canʼt figure it out. It canʼt be just a shirt or something” said Sylvie

”Well, and now please keep this to yourself…” slowly backing away from Sylvie a bit, the girl looked a bit sad at this but stayed still, Kat started to unwind her tail. Moving it had gotten much easier in just a day and she could easily unravel it even under her shirt without needing her arms to help. Snaking her tail out from under her shirt Kat continued ”I seem to have grown a tail”

Sylvieʼs eyes flicked between Katʼs face and tail, as she shuffled closer and slowly reached out a hand to try and touch it while flicking to Katʼs face searching for confirmation she was allowed to do just that. Kat smiled at the girl *Iʼm not sure sheʼd stop even if I said no. Well Sylvie might actually stop but then sheʼll be distracted for days thinking about it Iʼm sure*Eventually Sylvie managed to grab Katʼs tail and she shifted it so that movement on Sylvieʼs part wouldnʼt be pulling on her tail. After a few moments of poking and sliding and moving Sylvie turned to Kat and asked, ”Why is your tail so soft?”

Kat stared at the girl unsure of what to say. *What do you mean soft? I donʼt remember it feeling that strange when I was poking about and besides itʼs certainly not fluffy what do you even mean?”*

”Um Iʼm not sure what do you mean Sylvie?” asked Kat

”Hmmm” said Sylvie with a scrunched face. Poking the tail in various spots and hugging it against herself, ”Itʼs just really comfortable to hold”

Kat proceeded to move her tail and Sylvie let go, pouting for a moment before Kat curled her tail around the girl and pulled them together, shockingly easily. *Woah, wait that took almost no effort, is my tail stronger than my arm? I certainly couldnʼt lift Sylvie so easily with just one hand, though perhaps I shouldnʼt say that out loud.* Sylvie now bound tightly on Katʼs lap let out a crystal clear laugh of pure joy and smiled at her new seat. Yawning and burying herself in Katʼs body. Kat just smiled and started to stroke Sylvieʼs hair. *It seems like Lily and I might be looking at this the wrong way. Sylvie seems to have absolutely no concerns and sheʼs the most observant out of all of us really.* Shuffling herself towards the end of the bed Kat decided to follow Sylvie and take a short nap before lunch, pulling the girl against herself with her arms and tail Kat nodded off.
