"Yeah, I guess. Sorry," Lukas responded, casually slipping his hand into his pocket. "Here," the redhead said in almost an apologetic manner as he pulled out three charms from his pocket. "A protection charm for you, your brother, and Yuki," he explained. Lukas handed the charms to Risako. "These charms provide general protection ranging from possession to physical attacks," Lukas continued. "They can also guard against a fatal attack, but after that, they’re going to be inactive for a bit. To recharge."
Risako nodded on reflex. "Thanks," she said cheerily, not sounding very genuine, in all honesty. "I'm sure my brother and Yukito-kun will appreciate it."
Lukas smiled slightly. "I also found out information on the circle," he said. That caught Risako's attention. "Timed summoning circle for four different summons - the Dullahan, the demon, the monster Lady Minami handled and the slimes. The smaller slimes are offspring of a larger slime. So we’ll need to find that. And…"
Lukas hesitated for a few moments as Risako raised a brow expectantly. The redhead visibly manned up an stared directly into Risako's amber eyes.
"Eye contact," Risako commented wryly. "Impressive."
"Is it alright for me to know what the household plans in regards to my sister? Please?" Lukas begged in a way Risako would consider pathetic. There were a few moments of silence before Risako sighed.
"What's there to tell?" Risako shrugged in a nonchalant way that could be considered disrespectful or insensitive. "As you know, we've sent some people to search for Rosa. We're basically limited to Japan, so hopefully your sister hasn't gone overseas." Risako paused. "And, as you may or not know, your family is sending another one wizard as a replacement. At least until Rosa is found." Risako furrowed a brow. "The name is...Clara Isharian, is it?"
Risako continued on. "Anyway, if you would like me to be honest with you, I cannot guarantee your sister's safety. We have quite the number of search parties out there looking for her, but that's all we can do at the moment." Risako cocked her head to the side. "However..."
Risako took a deep breath before continuing. "As you - hopefully - know," she began. "There is a point where we have to stop searching for Rosa if we don't find her in a certain time frame. We can't afford to use are resources attempting to find someone, who, in all honesty, might not be alive anymore." Risako looked Lukas in the eye, her gaze surprisingly serious. "I'm not doubting you're sister's abilities, but let's be logical here. There are bigger threats out there we need to focus our energy on. If you can't take that...sorry, but I won't try to soften the blow for you."
Risako nodded on reflex. "Thanks," she said cheerily, not sounding very genuine, in all honesty. "I'm sure my brother and Yukito-kun will appreciate it."
