I do still bleed! I have no idea how that works, especially since I've taken very extensive damage to the chest before, and still kept going!

I can't drink my own blood, obviously, that just doesn't work. But, best as I can tell, my circulatory system has taken over for my digestive tract. The really interesting part, no matter what variety of blood I'm feeding on, my own is no less jade than the day I was hatched.

I have no idea how it works!
