"Interesting family, but I think all are pretty much alive... just in different senses"
"Undead means neither alive or dead but stuck in between. Not a simple concept but that's what those intelectuals came up to describe those beings so hard to kill and that needed so little to live"
"Some like the vampires are the result of some confusion, since being turned into one doesn't mean you are dead. It just a different state of being"
"... I'm not making much sense am I?"

"Oh, my mum's tried to explain it," he shrugged, "'Specially because we were both born this way. It doesn't need to make sense, as long as I know what it does." Ike drew a claw down the back of his forearm demonstratively and watched it heal.

"Fast heealing factor is a trait shared by several species. Don't have one myself my I learned how to use my own magic to do it"
"But what more do you know about your vampire heritage? I mean, I've met quite a few different ones and I'm curious to know which one you belong to"
He stoped petting the bird and let it fly away, which rested on Ike's lap

Ike reached a finger out to the bird carefully. Not taking his eyes off of it, he spoke.
"Nobody really knows. My grandfather...he's a Vampire...from Earth...he raped my grandmother...and they gave my mum up when she was real little," he shrugged, "We're mutts."
His family past was a bit violent, but he had no problem sharing with others.

"My past is similar although my mother took my father willingly. Grandparents didn't liked it because of a stupid superstition and killed him, while my mom had to run away with me. She died a few years later and I went to live at an adoption house. Later I accidentaly portaled myself out of that world, losing half my hair along the way. Never stayed in one place for long after that"
Birvan hardly told his past to anyone. But something told him Ike deserved to know

"Oh...I'm sorry," Ike cocked his head to one side and smiled sympathetically. He fought against the urge to hug Birvan, "but I actually think your hair's kinda cool..." He'd heard too many true-life horror stories to be phased much by them any more...although he was touched that anyone he'd just met would admit theirs to him.

Birvan iddly twisted the long strands of his silver hair with a finger "Don't be. That happened too long ago, way before you were born"
He smiled as to assure him
"Your's cool too. Don't think I ever met any anthro squirrels with such a fine hair and fur"

Ike tugged self-consciously at his hair and blushed a bit.
"Thank you," he half-smiled, immediately forgiving Birvan for referring to him as "anthro"...a pet peeve of his.

Birvan knew nothing about Ike's reaction to the word anthro. For him it was less insulting than refering to him as squirrel-boy, humanoid or just squirrel
"You're welcome. You should be quite proud of yourself you know? You've been through a lot at such a yong age and yet your spirit hasn't broken... although is starting to bend"

"Proud? No," Ike shook his head slowly, spotting a small twig in his hair and pulling it out, "...but thank you again...I think."
He wasn't used to compliments, really...but he kind of liked them.

"Hm, why not?" he tilted his head to one of the sides, looking at Ike with a curious look

Ike shrugged.
"I'm nothin' to be proud of. Everythin' I can do is because of my mixed heritage...or William."
He tapped his temple.

"If heritage defined everything I'd be long dead. It only gives you tools, but doesn't make you a carpenter or a blacksmith. That's up to your choices "
"As for William I don't know how much he affects you or in which ways, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't make those formidable jumps you did"

"Hm...I guess so," Ike smirked. Birvan made sense...but he still didn't feel proud.
"I happen to have better things to do with my time thexcuse me," Ike laughed nervously, "He does that sometimes. He's a real powerful guy...or...used to be. Yeah...and he can't jump."

That little interruption gave him a good lot of information about William. Arrogant idiot
"Well don't let him get you down. You're way better than him" he ruffled Ike's hair gently
