Valken listened to Ishmael as he walked along side him and it seemed he was venting to him about what has happened and he nodded when he was finished. Perhaps it was just the fact that it was impossible for Valken to understand what it was like to work for the church, or have a dedication for it, or have a religion for that matter. 
"I imagine you don't know what nihilism is.. " He said surprisingly in response. 
"Look, you can choose to look at it that way, or you can choose to look at the fact that there is no such thing as failure. If, as you believe that God has some grand design for you all, then it was supposed to happen and you did not fail in his eyes because he meant for it to happen. " Valken had a weird moment when he realized that he sounded like his surrogate father. " ....just don't worry about it." He said a little agitated by himself. 

While talking to Ishmael he was made aware that the pink smudge and an' ankle bitter was nearing them and they had reached their sides just as Valken was done.
The pink smudge began the conversation but Valken was actually paying more attention to 'the sapling'.
"Yes. Mother was most merciful and brutal. She fed me well and would take me outside with her through meadows of flowers. I have good memories as we would play in the snow in the winter time and she would groom me and dress me accordingly. She taught me many things including the dark arts of raising the dead, summoning demons and interplanal travel and defenses. She stimulated my mind well. When I reached sexual maturity she began to train me and taught me a lot about taking care of myself and what I needed to eat in order to gain muscle and keep it. But she wouldn't have been able to to any of those things if she didn't feed me properly as an infant. While I could walk with in 3 hours of my birth, I had to drain my mother of her breast milk and father of his blood to eat well. In response they had to also make sure that they were in good health for my sake. In a years time, I could eat human flesh and thus my mother had to lure humans to our home so that I may live. I imagine it must have been a horrible moral conundrum and that she had to escape many a hangings and prosecutions but it had to be done so that I could one day feed myself entirely and they would be rid of such work. Yes, Mother was most merciful and brutal indeed." 
 
Truthfully Valken has never had any experience with kids, he's never been allowed to play as a child himself in fear that he might eat them as soon as he was hungry. His parents were right to keep him from them, not only to protect Valken from other angry parents, but to protect their human children. 
Valken turned his head and focused on the child and made strange clicking noises at it. He was curious and strangely he became excited and he wanted to play with it. But to let Valken play with this kid would be closer to a dog trying to play with a squirrel and everyone knows what would eventually happen to the tiny squirrel. 
"What is it?" He asked the boy, stalling in his gait and bringing up the rear behind the boy. He bent down and sniffed at his hair so much that a few hair strands were lifted up off the top of his head. 
"Does it fight?" He asked, lifting his foot and purposely shoving the kid forwards. Truthfully he wanted to beat the child to test it's limits and will it to defend for itself. It was a strange act of 'brotherly bullying' except that Valken would kill the child if it did not attack him back. He wasn't aware of the possible motherly instinct of the females as he knew that the kid was not born of them. 
"The sapling is weak." He said threateningly chattering his teeth together. " I could walk with in 3 hours of my birth. And it takes you 3 years." Valken would swipe the ankles of the kid as he tried to walk, tripping him and preventing him from getting away too far. It was a cat and mouse game.

While he was 'playing' with the sapling, his ears were being raided by a whining voice like a bleating lamb trying to cry with it's throat slashed. 
Eventually Valken's excitement turned into rage and disgust and he turned around and focused on the white witch. 
"SHUT UP" He shouted inches from her face. "YES, YOU ARE BOTHERING ME- GO AWAY AND DIE ALONE IF YOU DO NOT TRUST ANYONE- SHUT UP SHUT UP- SHUT UUP" 
Valken's shouting seemed very unnecessary against kyalia's mere talking which, made him look like he had severe anger issues. Which.. he did. 
" If you yourself say that you have a bad attitude then you are basically calling yourself a big, fat, bitch! Everything you just said was just a huge pile of BUUUUULLLLLLLSSSSSHIIIIIIIIITTT and I don't want to spend the time it would take to undo the mass if stupidity you just released into the air and raped my ears with! SO GO- JUST... GO- GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH YOU THE REST OF THE WAY IF I CAN'T DEAL WITH YOU FOR 5 SECONDS!"
