Cal could hear the smile in the human's voice and while he had been growing a bit more used to Elliot's general cheery demeanor he still wasn't all that used to humans acting so... normal around him. Sol had always been the only one to treat him as a "friend", the only one who spoke to him bluntly without much care for offending him, and while Sarah was also not the type to walk on eggshells with him he did have to admit that Elliot was probably the closest he'd ever felt to having a "normal" conversation with a human. "I am glad to hear someone else think so." He said softly, tilting his head back against the rock he was leaning on and closing his eyes comfortably. Maybe... Maybe it wasn't as horrible as he had thought that he'd been bound to a human, at least Elliot didn't seem to hate him for it, he wasn't sure he would have been able to live with another human who hated him.<br/><br/>He parted his lips to agree with Elliot about hanging the pictures, but before he could he heard a rustling from the forest. He wasn't too worried, not really, but the next moment there was a splash that sent water into the face of the vampire and his companion as the vampire's rodent familiar returned and catapulted itself into the water. Cal sighed, slicking his hair back from his face as he wiped the water away as Levi swam about in the spring before them before it swam to Elliot and clambered up on his shoulder and gave a soft shake. "It seems to have taken a liking to you." He stated, though he had noted this when Levi had happily curled up with Elliot on the couch when the human dozed off before. He wondered how much of it was the bond, and how much was simply the familiar finding the human a pleasant presence to have around.
