Arigoth nodded his head hearing Elena, although he didn't look over to her exactly, he noticed her lying down, seeing this from the corner of his eye. He smiled while turning his attention back to the cloudy sky. The clouds seemed to be slowly spreading apart as bits of blue sky was showing through the white. Ari sighed while uttering to himself. "Thats too bad... looked like it was going to snow... but I guess thats just a wish on such a warm day."
His ears twitched as he turned his head to stare at Elena, hearing the question about asking him how big he was as a bat slightly made him frown. He hadn't said he could turn into a bat, just that he could create bat wings... but guessing from the change in his height and the bat like look he had received with his ears and wings being back again, it was probably only obvious to assume he could change into the bat fully.
"Well... When I do turn into a bat, that is... a brown bat. So I'm not very big at all, probably the size of the mouse to best describe it, just with wings. Ummm... and I think during that form I weigh as much of a small bag of candy... like skittles?" He slightly laughed while taking a quick glance back to the sky to see even more blue was visible and the clouds seemed to fade and disappear.

Elena frowned at the sky not pleased with it at all as the clouds vanished… she didn’t really like the open clear sky. She huffed and folded her arms across her glaring at a cloud as it moved away.
“Oh… skittles… hmm.” She had heard of those… had them once and gone hyperactive on them from all the sugar in them. Bouncing of the walls she had been… literally. She could still remember it smiling to herself… her dad chasing her around the house to try calm he down as she jumped from one wall to the next, she had even stood on the roof at one stage then she’d fallen, only to get back up and run around jumping over the furniture and crawling under the beds, she could still remember her fathers face and her mother laughing.
She sighed and looked over to him “cool…” she said and heard a rustle as Fahd jumped over them both almost scarring the living daylights out of her. “Fahd!” she yelled as the panther pocked his head over them both and jumped again.

Ari flinched a little as the huge black cat jumped over them. Thinking the panther would land on him and crush his stomach. He then smiled and laughed a little at Elena semi scolding Fahd, but once Fahd jumped over them again, he only flinched again the same thought popping up in his head. Sighing a little as he then looked back to Elena with a smile.
"I see he likes area's like this? Or does he naturally act like this all the time?" Starting up yet another conversation. Fahd was beginning to remind Arigoth of a playful kitten... only big... or just a hyperactive dog in a feline body, instead of him thinking a panther as a ferocious wild animal. Being more relaxed he had lost his wings and bat ears and was already back to his normal height, changing without notice.

“Who Fahd…” she laughed “He… hmm.” She thought. “Well he acts like this all the time when in the open area… mainly around lakes and big wide fields with tall grass… I am guessing because he is in a more natural habitat. Though in the woods he becomes more serious and cautious… lurking around like they do… and yet at the same time he is relaxed because his eye sight can focus better on things in the forest the ours can.” She took in a deep breath “It all depends on his surroundings. You wouldn’t want to be out in an open area with him at night… because he normally hunts then.”
She looked over to Arigoth “But like humans it depends on his mood… he will soon tire and lay down until something else come alone when he will watch and if it gets too close he will go in for an attack… I sometimes have to be careful when he is like it. Always best to stay on guard… but the chance of him ever attacking some one he knows is low.” She said

A crooked smile was on his face as he let out a nervous laugh "no kidding?" His eye twitched a little as he responded to the hunting at night part. but gave a slight sigh of relief at her last add on. As long as Fahd knew him, he was okay, right? "Seems like its a big job to look after a panther. How did you come to own him anyways, to have such a tame panther as a pet, well a friend, it just seems so unbelievable, but you know your magic as well, did you use that to help you tame him? Or was he already this smart when you met him?"
Arigoth, against felines of any kind on all fours, actually seemed interested in learning more about Elena's panther Fahd. Not that he was either trying to insult the panther either with any of his question, if it sounded like he thought of panthers as just pure dumb, it's usually because he didn't know how to word anything properly or he simply didn't know anything about what he was asking.

“May father had one… she was very beautiful… well she wasn’t his I should say… she was wild. My dad use to take me to see the panthers around our area… he said ‘they will never attack if you have no fear in your heart’” she sighed.
“Fahd’s mother was killed by another panther when he was young, I had snuck off from my room to see them at night. While his mother was out hunting for him the other panther went to kill Fahd… that was the first time I ever used my magic to the level I had… I was 6. At first his mother thought I was trying to take her son away… but then she realised what I was really doing. So when another panther tried to attack her son she stood in and got killed.” She closed her eyes “I could hear her last thoughts, I didn’t believe it at first until I started to hear Fahd’s and other animals around me… like I was able to connect with them.” She opened her eyes again “So I took Fahd knowing he wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild… slowly I got to trust him and him me. I taught him things and then had to act like a panther at times to get him to fully trust me. See he is a cat… and to them we are trying to get into their family.”
She smiled a little. “I always thought he thought of me as his mother as he would hunt and bring me back a bird or something… yet when he did something wrong he knew because I told him and instead of attacking me he just frowned and sulked. When he brought me back a big gift… it was to show me he could look after himself… so I let him roam around yet keep my eye on him, though his present was not something I would have liked it also showed me he was saying ‘you are part of my family now’.” She smiled and looked to Ari.
“Its like that… also why he doesn’t attack me… he knows what I can do and it would be like killing your mother or sister. Of course when he was little he wasn’t like he is… he was a lot wilder. Over in China people are having tigers as pets… to help save the species but those Tigers never attack them, because they are family.”

"I see." He said thinking about it, everyone even animals could have such hard pasts that they must over come, knowing this a little more he could slowly gain a little more trust with the feline, and feeling some respect for Fahd for being able to live on, although most animals may just find it natural in the wild for a family member to die or leave them at a young age eventually, but some may just feel like humans and need comfort from someone else. Finishing his thought with that last idea he couldn't help but smile at Elena. "He's so lucky to have met you." He laughed and then looked back at the sky. "You know the gifts, at least it's free food right?" He laughed some more before tapping his foot randomly against the air.
His red and white shoe was visible above the blue grass randomly batting at nothing as he then started talking again. "So you can see into the thoughts of any creature? ... That sounds great, heh, that is, if I ever did turn into a bat around you, at least you could understand exactly what I was saying or wanted. When I become a bat around the guys I'm living with, they either think of me as a pet, or a rodent and try to kill me... but the one guy, Alice or whatever his name is, he's kind of stupid and doesn't get it in his head no matter how many times he's told that the bat is me."

Elena laughed at him talking about the one guy not getting that Ari was the bat. She smiled and looked to him “Hmm do something you would do around him and see if it clicks in his mind or not… if it doesn’t then he mustn’t be very smart.” She said and looked up again.
“Ah yes food… but not my kind of food… I for some reason can only take another vampires blood or human blood… its why my family have produced a company with clone blood that we are able to give to vampires when needed… so if you ever get hungry just call.” She said “having killed people is not something you want on your mind. Though I did have to drink from a bird once to show Fahd it was ok to kill them in the wild… it didn’t taste very nice though.” She said while screwing her face up.
She looked back to him “I don’t exactly see into their minds so to speak… but yea… you got the main idea of it all… they try to kill you… ah just call me and I’ll come over and sort them out.” She said

"Interesting, but different... I've never met anyone, well vampire wise, that could only drink those two types of blood... but it's nice to have clone blood, at least you don't go hungry, right, right?" He smiled and then brought his legs down so he was lying flat on the ground. Arigoth only thought about Elena coming over and kicking Alice's butt and leaving him all bloodied up and beaten, his boyish mind playing about, liking that idea very much, but.. "No it's alright, I don't think he means to kill 'me' in general, I think he just tries to kill bats and other rodents." He then looked around with shifty eyes before looking back to Elena.
Raising his hand to cover a side of his mouth as he looked like he was going to whisper if somebody else may be listening, but not likely as he knew only three were around. "If you ask me, I think he's afraid of em' A guy thats 6'4 and looks like he could lift a bus over his head, ha, I find it funny. If he didn't try to squish me I'd probably want to tease him as a bat."

“hmm.” Elena looked at him and had an expressionless face. “Most likely… people that fear something will try and kill it… like you as a bat and the big guy… hehe like me with tiny spiders…” she shivered “Don’t like them… and they jump everywhere getting in small spaces and causing a mess as they leave their webs around.”
She frowned again and looked over the other way to see Fahd sitting down through some grass “I… just because I have those doesn’t mean I don’t starve… I find myself always getting hungrier like the blood isn’t enough at times… I hate it.”

He found himself laughing a little at the spider comment as well, not that he was laughing that she was afraid of such a small thing, it's just he enjoyed eating them when he could. He then frowned and then looked away as well, although he turned his attention to the clear blue sky. "I'm sorry." He said as he lied there silently for a moment.
"I just assumed it would be easier, I never really thought about it... I can get by with any type of blood and have it last for sometime, but that's because I'm half... but I just can't seem to think about how full vampires or one's with more vampire in them... just how they feel." He stopped to clear his throat as he then looked back to her. "Maybe, but just a guess, the clones blood, with each clone, it's only getting weaker and weaker to please a vampire?" Ari then stopped to think and once again speak. "You're not hungry now are you?"

She looked back to the sky “Maybe… I do not know how they make the blood of the clone system… I just do as I’m told and drink it when needed. Though some people’s body may except something and start to reject it… is that what you were trying to say?” She had a feeling her body was rejecting the clone blood… but new types of the clone blood came out all the time as if they had perfected it even more.
She looked at him and frowned she really didn’t want to answer the last question. “My body can go days without blood… it’s able to survive… just when I go to drink again it will be more then usual.” She felt her stomach grumble again and tightened her hands around it glancing to the open blue sky.

Arigoth listened to her words but he himself didn't know what he was saying half the times, usually it just came out of his mouth. "I don't know.... to be honest." He answered her feeling a little sorry for having such difficulty saying what he wanted, but he understood her perfectly. "More than usual?" He questioned her while arching a brow. "Do you mean your craving for blood is more than usual, or the days of surviving with out it?"
He could only imagine the craving would just go up with cloned blood that wasn't satisfying her, and felt a bad that she had to wait for food that wasn't even settling her cravings much, as he was able to eat pretty much anything he wanted, just as long as he had some sort of blood once and a while. Arigoth frowned a little not getting a technical answer to his last question if she was hungry 'now'. His eyes watched her as he noticed her grab at her stomach, a common thing anyone did when they were hungry.
Sitting himself up and pointing as he could make out a small growl coming from her stomach he began freaking out in a childish manor "I'm so sorry! God, I'm such a fool, I didn't mean to bring it up like that,... oh now it's going to be stuck in your mind even more... I'm not bothering you with my scent am I?" He questioned frantically knowing that he could sometimes smell people's blood as well which made he yearn for it at times. "Um... um, ffft... You know, if you really need some blood I could offer you some of mine..."

Elena didn’t move her head just blinked looking down then up again “I mean that when I go days without blood… my craving for blood is higher then usual… but lately it has been higher even when I am not hungry… I feel like I need it.”
Letting out a long sigh she spoke softly “Relax…” she said. Though she could not get his full scent she could smell some of his blood. She was keeping her distance so she would not reach out and bite down on him. Even earlier in the forest she had been able to hear his heart beat and when he’d gotten close enough to her she could tell when the blood had rushed past his vain.
She grabbed her side more hearing his heart beat in her ears and sat up “No…” she said “I can not drink from you…” she looked at him “I can not drink from my friends… I could never forgive myself… and I would drink more then I normally would… I won’t let you suffer so I can be satisfied.” She looked around in front of her loosing site of Fahd and then noticed him, she smiled slightly. She frowned hearing Ari’s heart beat again her eyes for a second glowed but she looked away as they went back to normal. “Just keep your distance and you should be fine.” She said quietly and looked ahead again.

"but?..." He went silent for only a few moments like he always did. Arigoth just seemed to like to hear voices, even his own if it comforted him, it was like and possible he had anxiety problems. Thinking to himself the he probably made it even worse by freaking out like that. "Well.." He started talking as expected but with a much gentler voice than before as he had calmed himself down, which Elena had said. "You see, it hurts me more, seeing a friend suffer, than being bitten, truly."
He only let out a sigh before he turned his head and stared at the individuals blades of grass, seeing a small ladybug crawling up one before it spread its wings and took off towards the blue sky. "As a matter of fact, it wouldn't really hurt at all, being beaten that is." He nodded to himself feeling positive about his words for once. "I've come accustom to being beaten when I was just a child, and think of pain as a part of a daily part of my life. No matter how many times I get cut up or scratched, it doesn't bother me."
"It's like that one word, masochist? One who likes to inflict pain on themselves, and be hurt. It's probably why I've grown up the way I am... When I make a mistake, for some reason I just expect to be hit. My father made sure of that, and I was struck once by my master for mistakes as well. A form of discipline... and now that I'm not being hurt for my mistakes, I have to discipline myself." He said while slightly raising his sleeve to stare down at the scars of cuts on his arms. Looking as if he was smiling.
"Every hurt I get from myself, is a mistake I've made. As a half vampire they should heal and not scar at all, but because I wanted them as a reminder, they just seem to have stayed with me. I'm sure though, if I wanted the scars to just disappear, they would." Letting his sleeve drop he then looked back to Elena with a small smile which he had casted upon his scars just seconds before. "I'd really like to help you. And telling me to keep my distance isn't very effective. I like to be close to people and friends I like. Even if they don't like me." He laughed before suddenly embracing his arms around Elena in a hug.
