Talim could feel that he was getting stronger. Slowly but, he was getting there. The only problem he was facing for far was the occaisional hunter and the fact that he hadn't really fed in a week or so. The fact was taking a toll on his already small body. He'd dropped thirty odd pounds. However he didn't look sickly or anything. His skin was still the warm bronze it had always been. His eyes sparkled neon green with hints of yellow flecks from behind the fall of blood red hair. It had grown to just past his shoulders and had been highlighted with a combination of electric blue and sunny blonde. He left it down for the night.
He wore a simple white shirt that stopped just above his navel. A chain wrapped around his small waist looping through his bellybutton piercing. The Celtic sun around his navel was slightly sparkly from the glitter lotion Kaylanee had put on him. He'd laughed the whole time and even now sitting in the lounge by himself. The pants he wore were very loose and bangy showing the waist band of the boxer briefs he wore. It didn't mater to him. The band was grey so it matched with the rest of his outfit.
Absently, he tipped his head and chair back looking around the room upside down. His mind kept flickering back to his sire. He hadn't seen him in a while. He was more than a little sure the punk was up to no good.
He tapped his foot lightly humming the hook to a song he couldn't get enough of. He clicked his tongue piercing against his teeth and mumbled the worlds to himself.
"Fer sure maybe, fer sure not, fer sure eh, fer sure bomb. Hooked up at a stop light to jits on the dash board. Look at the mess we made tonight..."

Bambi yawned widely and swallowed. His mouth felt hot and sticky for good reason. Bambi grinned at the thought and jumped down from the wall that he had been sitting on. He landed on his feet and began to walk out of the dark alleyway he had been lurking in. Bambi liked to lurk... he was good at it.
Bambi crossed the quiet street and made his way towards the low rumble of music that came from the building opposite. He was feeling his usual sociable self and also felt like getting drunk. Bambi grinned as he pushed open the door to the bar and stepped inside. His dead gaze scanned the room but he saw nothing of any interest. Bambi moved towards the bar but stopped... his eyes widened...he could smell one of his childer... his eldest... Talim.
Bambi spun around and looked for that familiar red hair. His eyes soon alighted on Talim and Bambi purred audibly. He stalked over to him, noticing that he seemed different... thinner and almost... stronger but still weak. Bambi shrugged and sat down opposite his childe.
”Hello Tal.....im” he drawled.

Talim rocked in his chair for a moment or two. He could smell something familiar coming his way but was too lazy to straight his chair just yet. His eyes continued to scan over the people of the lounge noting every human and stopping on a pair of eyes that seemed to be watching him. He sneered flashing both of his fangs. It was just some mortal guy. Nothing to really gain his interest. He wished he had bought Saturn with him. That way he'd have something to distract himself from thinking of various ways to kill people. His skin twitched as he heard someone sit at his table. He slowly bought himself upright clicking the chair against the floor loudly.
He looked at hisi sire with wide eyes then slowly blinked.
"Hey, Daddy," He drawled slowly. He knew the older vampire liked hearing him call him that. Just like Talim liked how the punk drew out his name for no reason. It was fun to get a reaction out of him when he could. "Long time, no see. What cha been up to?"

Bambi grinned at his eldest childe. They both already knew the answer to that question. Bambi had been having fun... his kind of fun. Bambi had come into his own in his new life. He relished in the chance to fight without consequence... to spill blood without the threat of arrest... to live out all his twisted fantasies with no moral judgement...
Bambi leant closer to Talim and reached out his right hand to touch his hair.
”Ain't ya got pretty hair.” Bambi said, teasingly.
He leant back in his seat, tilting the chair on to its back legs and supporting the weight with his legs that were stretched before him and crossed at the ankles. He rocked the chair slightly and kept his black gaze on Talim. Bambi licked his lower lip with his pink tongue, slowly. His expression was pensive, brooding. Bambi was thinking.
”Ya don't... I dunno... seem right. Ya feel ok? Coz mate... ya kinda... I can tell and inside me it feels like ya dying.”
Bambi frowned. He really wasn't any good at being concerned with anybody but himself, but he was trying.

Talim lowered his head with a laugh letting his hair fall over his shoulder. He glared at one particular part of that was electric blue. Why had he picked such colors? He didn't know. He was just bored. He shook it sending it out of his face again.
"You're not looking too bad yourself, Pops."
He stated and licked over his left fang. His gaze dropped to the table for a second then back up to Bambi. He could tell the teen was thinking about something. What was the thousand dollar question. He sighed inwardly as he heard the question that seemed to be plaguing him. He turned his head to take in the room around him. Was he dying?
"I don't think I'm gonna get any more dead then I already am short of the much more permenant dead."
He shrugged lightly and cocked his head. How was he going explain everything that was going on with him. He sighed and straightened.
"I feel the same as I always have but.....my metabolism has double from what I've seen. I barely have enough time to feed at the normal rate. Not to mention, Diablo's gone....and there's someone new in this fucked up head of mine."
He smirked and watched his leg move side to side. Maybe it would be better to just tell everything while they still had the time to sit and talk. It wasn't everyday he got to see Bambi.

Bambi leant forward in his seat and let the table support his body weight as he propped up his chin on both hands, elbows on the table. He hooked his ankles under his seat to stop himself from falling off his seat.
”Well who ya got in there now?” he drawled.
Bambi slowly blinked, his long lashes hitting his pale flesh. He had set in his soft lips in an almost petulant pout but he was unaware of this. Bambi stared at Talim and waited for an explaination.
What Talim was had long confused Bambi but he was happy knowing that Talim could play hard and yet still maintain a loving relationship with this... Saturn. Bambi had never met the guy and hoped that one day Talim would trust him enough to let him play a greater part in his life.
Bambi removed his left hand from his chin and stretched it out across the table. He drew swirly patterns on the surface of the table with his index finger but kept his black gaze on Talim.

Talim watched his sire carefully. He was taking things...well, just as he thought he would. This was Bambi he was talking about. He pushed his chair to balance on two legs absently. His eyes watched the other teen's finger swirl over the table almost as if mesmorized. He blinked once and his green eyes turned yellow.
"His name is Shakaku but he doesn't come out very often." He muttered and nibbled at his bottom lip almost absently.
Slowly, he settled his chair down flat and ran a finger over the surface of the table shortly. The wood glow orange under his touch going from ashes to nothing in seconds. He wrote his name in Kanji and smirked lazily.
When his eyes raised they were back to their normal coloring again.
"Oh...and I got a kid. I want you to meet her one of these days..."
He sat back in his chair and rotated his neck earning small pops. He motioned for one of the waiters to come over.
"Know any good drinking games, pops?"

Bambi watched Talim's finger as it burnt a charred grove in the table top. He looked as though he were writing a word in some strange language. Bambi grinned darkly and wondered if he could convince Talim to write a few things on his soft, pale skin. That could be fun...
”A kid eh?”
Bambi spoke suddenly, snapping himself out of his trance.
”She take after ya or after this fella of yers that I ain't never met?”
Bambi grinned playfully and prodded at the ash on the table top. He kept his dead gaze on Talim's face.
”I know loads of... drinking games... some even involve alcohol.”

Talim flicked the thin film of ashes from his finger absently. He hadn't burnt to far down which was good. The last thing he wanted was some shitface human coming over to yell at him. Sure he was wrong for damaging property but he didn't take well to being yelled at. He chuckled as tried to explain who Kaylanee took after.
"Well, I think she takes after both of us in a way. She has my hair, Sat's eyes....baaaad temper." He drawled.
Hell, he was sure that Kaylanee would like Bambi alot...maybe too much. He shook his head. No point in imagining the trouble that would happen if the two got together. He'd find out soon enough. He paused and blinked at what the punk said next. Wasn't all drinking games with.... He lowered his head and laughed.
"Good," He said simply. His green eyes sparkled with mirth. He turned to the waiter. "Tequila and blood sake, ten each." He ordered. Ten sounded like a good number to start with.
"So how are my 'siblings' doing? He asked curiously. From what he knew, he was the eldest now that Doll had been severed. Pity, he didn't even get to meet the girl. He mentally shrugged. Wasn't like he was in a rush to deal with more people than he had to.

Bambi watched the waiter almost lazily before looking back to Talim.
”Well ya know me... I try to get me childer to keep in touch but they wanna go do their own thing and I ain't gonna stop them. I see Nokomis sometimes... Lolli has gone away for a while... Loren and Draga.. man I dunno where they are. I know they ain't dead but they don't answer when I call to them... I got another guy now... Aleksi... he's... well he's a lot of fun. And my brother is still close... I feckin love Battosai ya know... and of course my Flower is always around someplace.”
Bambi shrugged before replacing the hurt puppy look on his face with a dark grin. Bambi never stayed upset for long. It bothered him that he was loosing his childer because despite outward appearances, Bambi adored his family. He tried his hardest to make them feel accepted and happy but they seemed to just drift away. Bambi snorted loudly and turned his attention to the approaching waiter.
”Ah alcohol... cures all that ails ya.” he said in a sing song voice.

Talim ticked off each sibling in his head then Battosai. He hadn't really gotten to know any of them other than by names so he didn't really care. But Bambi seemed to be getting grey hairs from it. He shrugged with one shoulder.
"Well, this life is survival of the fittest. They're either dead or alive so you did just about all you can do." He said truthfully.
He chuckled at Bambi's changes in expression and emotion. There was no real reason to worry over something that you had no control of. His gaze turned to the waiter as he approached. Talim nodded once as ten of each drink was placed in from of him and his sire. It'd been a while sense he drank enough to really get a buzz. With the way his blood was, it was slightly harder. He raised a finger to his mouth and pricked it on his fang. He held the digit over each of his shot glasses and watched the crimson liquid dissolve in the alcohol.
"If you need any held, you let me know." It wasn't a request, it was an order.
He looked at Bambi meaningfully for a second before grabbing the first shot glass.

Bambi watched Talim with his black eyes that revealed no emotion. He blinked as his childe drew his own blood to add to the glass in front of him. Bambi remembered the weird feeling he had gotten when he fed from Talim all those nights ago in the church confessional booth. He had never experienced a buzz like it, not from all the drugs he took as a human and not from all the feeds he had had since he was turned. It had felt electric... like his blood was alive... it's own life force within another entity. Bambi knew his eldest childe had not been human when he had been embraced, but that did not worry Bambi. Whatever Talim was... and Bambi was still unsure... he was an excellent addition to Bambi's family. Probably the only one that Bambi felt he could talk to as an emotional equal. Bambi felt extremely protective towards his brother and his female childer but he knew that Talim could take care of himself. Despite what Talim insisted on calling him, Bambi did not see himself as Talim's father... not really as his sire either... Bambi simply considered Talim to be a part of him. They had enjoyed each other and it had resulted in a blood bond that surpassed any paternal relationship.
Bambi smiled a rarely genuine smile. He picked up the nearest glass and peered at the liquid. He raised his glass towards Talim and inclined his head in a friendly manner.
”To family.”

Talim faltered for a second upon hearing the toast. Family. He hadn't considered anyone other than Saturn and Kaylanee his family. Now he had his mother back.....getting around to meeting his brothers. Now the vampire sitting before him smiling genuinely....
He raised one of the glasses and raised it. A smile tugged at his own lips as he went over the relationship he had with Bambi. The punk never asked for anything for him, never babied him or tried to run his life like some other sires would. Talim could do as he wanted and just come back to tell the teen about it. There was no yelling of any kind
"To family."
He repeated and tossed the drink back. The liquid was hot at first then cool rapidly making him shiver. Even if it was his own blood in the cup, it still affected him. He blew out a breath finding it somewhere between steamy and frozen, like cooling something rapidly. The coldness spread through him quickly before being replaced by his usual body temperature of 130 degrees. He grinned fangs glinted as he waited for his sire's reaction to the new taste. If Bambi liked how his blood tasted before, he was in for a brand new surprise.

Bambi knocked back the liquid and returned the glass to the table. His hand moved to grab another but suddenly he stopped. The combination of alcohol and Talim's unusual blood was kicking in.
Bambi blinked slowly as the strange sensation of burning began to crawl under his skin. His face felt numb and his blood pounded in his ears. Bambi drew a cooling breath over his teeth and let it out slowly. He turned to face Talim and grinned. It felt like he was being burnt alive... from the inside out. Bambi resisted the urge to leap over the table and bite his eldest childe just to get a bigger hit. He didn't think it was appropriate. Bambi crossed his legs under the table and stretched out a little in his seat. He peered around the bar until his dead gaze settled on the waiter that had brought their drinks over. Bambi grinned darkly and licked his right fang suggestively. He turned back to Talim and picked up another glass.
"Much more of this and I'll be riding the waiter home.” he drawled.

Talim tilted his head back and blew out another stream of steam. He watched with lazy eyes as the thin mist of white smoke dissipated. Absently he watched his sire's reaction to the new blood and grinned. His eyes rippled all yellow for a second and his fangs extended than shrank. It was just a small fluctuation that left him tingling a little more. He followed the waiter's gaze lazily and instantly knew what Bambi was thinking. Hell, if he wasn't engaged, he would've been thinking the same thing. He chuckled instead.
"Still a horny little bastard, eh?" He drawled and took up another glass.
He tossed it back quickly and blue out a cloud of steam. This time it formed into a demonic face making the redhead laugh slightly.
"Planning on finding me an stepmom or dad or whatever?"
It was another pointless question. Talim couldn't see Bambi settling down much less binding with someone just yet. The vampire was obviously having a lot of fun being single.
