Ali listened carefully as Carmel explained that the metal discs were to represent some form of achievement, for placing in some sort of race. It was interesting that humans felt they had to prove themselves to each other, perhaps it was like a pack which everyone fighting to be Alpha. People from different countries and areas, really working hard to show what they could do.

" is everyone trying to be alpha them? With humans showing their achievements are they trying to take over?" He asked wondering why all the achievements.

He nodded when Carmel suggested he took lessons for painting " it looks really beautiful, the way the colours mix and makes an image. I bet it isn't that hard because everywhere is beautiful...well most places anyway" he spoke tilting his head a little as he followed Carmels finger to where he pointed.

He smiled when he said they were going for another run, Alistair liked being outside it was home. " I wouldn't mind going now? Could we have a race back? I'm sure I could run faster than you" he smiled cockily running a hand through his hair. He headed to the back door, figuring out how to open it after a few minutes, he wished he wasn't so forgetful he was locked away so long. He took off his shoes, everything felt better with his shoes off even though his body was scarred and bruised it looked like his body was healing slowly now. The odd pain in his joints plagued him every now and then but he was sure he would get better and stronger with Carmel instruction. He thought about his muscles and how his and Carmel looked different, he flexed his arm and ran his fingers gently across the small muscle. Carmels were much bigger than his, he was tanned where he was pale and toned where he wasn't. What did Carmel feel like?
