Surely it must be a vile thing, never mind that it was not threatening anyone." Its voice had become deadly quiet. "And you, cautious of being in my arms and yet trust to be in his." The strange black ichor seemed to bubble just underneath the skin-riders throat, when it spoke again its voice was an eerie approximation of her own. "We humans can be quite arrogant at times. I do not agree with many classifications of creatures--vampyres, for instance. They are completely normal humans, only with an additional blood craving characteristic to their type. But that doesn't make them evil, or creatures, really. Not all 'Dark' things are bad, after all..."
She took a deep breath--he had absolutely gotten to her now, as that was a subject she felt most strongly on. "Please, listen to me. I never said who was to blame for their injuries. I must argue that although my friend Xana did indeed offend you, that you threatened her--and that is what triggered her, out of instinct, to defend herself. Which is reasonable. Though I also completely understand it from your view... you are quite different, compared to others in the Wizarding world. And I honestly mean that in the kindest way possible. I know, from personal experience, that it is difficult to be different in most ways...people treat you differently, most often negatively, without even knowing who you are. It can be disheartening. But I've always said, you can find beauty in almost any situation... such as when you are sometimes viewed negatively because of something about you, you will almost always find someone who understands and shares something similar of a problem...and I find, at the very least, that you can find you feel a strong bond between yourself and that person. A friendship, at the very least."

She met his golden eyes, honesty shown clearly in her dark ones. "I do not think of you as a Dark creature. I stand by my words I had spoken before. Just because one has a special aptitude or skill, such as the fact you are able to easily acquire talons, your beautiful cat-like eyes or your grace and speed does not mean one is necessarily Dark at all. You are not a vile thing. You are an incredibly gifted and talented person...who I respect greatly...and I apologize."
