"None taken. Though there are other Dragons in the city," Drake told the Pixie. "I'll make sure that they know that."
Drake wanted to tell Sara that he wished to become her familiar, but was unsure of how she would take it; even after all these years of Raven's death.
"Sara," Drake said, gaining some courage to speak up. "It would be an honor for me to become your familiar."
Sara was taken back by this. She was not expecting this from Drake. She looked to Pixel then back to Drake, not sure what to say.

Pixel looked back between them. "Erm, forgive me but what is a familiar?"

"A familiar's a spirit, imp, or familiar that is an animal-shaped spirit who serves for witchery, a demon, or other magician-related subjects. Familiars serve their owners as domestic servants, farmhands, spies, and companions, and may help bewitch enemies. Familiars are considered an identifying characteristic of early modern English witchcraft, and serve as one feature setting it apart from European witchcraft," Sara said.
"Christianity has tainted what it means to be a familiar," Drake added.

"I wouldn't know... Closest thing I've got is Rover." Pixel says prompting a bark from her robotic companion who runs over from the Squirrel he was chasing at the mention of his name Pixel rubbed her hand on his head as he sniffed Drake again

Rover moved over to Sara and sniffed not sure what was going on. Pixel simply giggled and pet him a little still keeping an eye on Drake.

Sara smiled and gave Rover a pet. "I would be honored to take you as a familiar, Drake," she finally said. "Please know that I will not hold you to the same bar as I do for Raven."
"I understand."

Pixel raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions on that point and just watched rover frolic as the sun began to set.

Sara moved to where the night flame was and began to prepare to light it. She gained a fire and lit the bowl where the fire would be held. She held her hands in a way that were part of an ancient Chinese bow.
