Emily's lips parted, but it took a second longer before she spoke. "I thought Alice was a person." 

Raylen couldn't help but chuckle, and he responded, "It seems like you do see me in a good light after all." He offered her a smile before his gaze returned to the portrait. He said, "Earthlings aren't worth wasting the Barter Soul on, and I might as well have found another use for it for myself."

Her eyebrows arched slightly as she pondered that Raylen was even odder than she had initially believed. But then again, perhaps the cat had been precious to him. She commented, "She was pretty."
