Ra's waved away Flauros' threat as if it were a poorly told joke. "Oh, please. Destroy her body and soul, but do it out here. I've always loved to watch the life leave a human's eyes as they die. There's something beautiful about it, wouldn't you agree? Though I would think that you would have to kill Gin as well. He wouldn't just sit pretty while you killed the woman he loved." He took another long drag of the cigarette, exhaling an array of different sized rings. "I'm surprised you've been so blinded by your distaste for humans, though, Flauros. You disappoint me. Can you not sense the old magic that flows through her blood? It is far older than either of us. Why we are attracted to it, I have yet to discover...it puzzles me so. Though once I figure out, I will ring you." Ra's picked up one of Flauros' cats that had strayed to close, its yellow eyes seeming to stare into the void where his soul had once been. "I've always found myself rather fond of cats. They're good company, diligent listeners. Though I've never understood why you're so fond of them. They're exactly like humans you know. When one dies, another is born." The cat leaped out of Ra's arms, hissing all the way down to the ground. "Where is your favorite cat, Flauros? I want to destroy it after you destroy Effy. I'm sure you won't miss it too terribly, you do have a mass of beasts after all. You act as if you are better than Gin, better than all of us, because you do not involve yourself in the affairs of humans...instead you involve yourself in the affair of cats. I can see why you are so superior, Flauros." Ra's grinned. "Now, where is your cat?"
