Flauros let out a loud chuckle when Blythe commanded him to release the kittens. "Okay, okay, come on Kain! The woman's spoken and, as I've always believed, chicks always take precedence over dicks!"
The kittens gripped in his hand were mewing pitifully, wanting to be released. Flauros turned his head toward the two struggling kittens and proceeded to lick one of them on the head. Immediately after he reached into his mouth to pull out a few strands of fur. "Blech! Wow, that was gross."
Now it was time to get serious. He looked at Kain and decided that maybe Kain would make a jump to save the kittens should Flauros do something. Flauros stood up from his squat position with kittens still in hand. His plan was to play on Kain's chivalry. To drop the kittens and when Kain rushed to save them, Flauros would attack.
Granted he wasn't aware of Kain's strength entirely. He did know (thanks to Sal) that Blythe had a power which enabled her to literally tear a spirit apart.
