"40 seconds to drink a rabbit dry... Damn."
While the horned rabbit is not exactly an animal that Ichor knew about much, he still knew that it should have a lot more blood than the blood sphere he made before.
So, for a tiny mosquito to turn a rabbit into a dried-up husk in less than a minute, it would either need to have an already pitiful amount of blood or the mosquito is too good at doing what it does.
Ichor hoped that it was the former. But from what he found about Crimson, it's most likely the latter instead.
"You still good there, Crimson?"
Ichor asked the mosquito, who seemed to be madly trying to clean its proboscis. It was as if it just drank something disgusting from the rabbit instead of blood.
Once that's done, it quickly flies back to him and... complains?
Buzz! Buzz!
"'You want to die', really? Does the rabbit blood taste that bad?"
Buzz! Buzz... Buzz!!
"... Yeah, that sounds disgusting."
Crimson said to him that the rabbit's blood was 'foul, smelly, and thick' compared to mine.
There are like a few more words he can make out using their connection, but they can be summed up as 'I'd rather eat shxt than drink any more of their blood'.
"Is it really that bad?"
Walking to the rabbit, Ichor tried creating a small wound on the rabbit's tongue, causing a trace amount of blood to come out of it.
Ichor put the blood in his mouth to taste it-
"Blech!"
-And almost vomits on the spot.
"Blood- Blech! -my ass! That tastes like- Cough! -gutter oil!"
Ichor managed to keep himself together somehow. But if tried taking any more blood from the damn rabbit, then he might not be able to hold himself back his stomach juices.
Despite being harder than normal due to the gags and coughs he's having right now, he managed to activate <Appraisal> on the blood.

Horned Rabbit Blood: Known for their disgusting taste and near-poisonous effect on the drinker, they carry the impurity that is filtered from the horn. It is not recommended to try it out as there are cases where the drinker has met an unfortunate death by it.

"The heck is this!?"
"Cough! Cough! How the heck did you even drink that much blood with a straight face!?"
Buzz!!
"My bloo- COUGH! -blood? Right, I did tell- Cough! -tell you that you can drink it."
After gagging a few more times and being tortured due to the lack of water to clean his mouth, Ichor finally manages to return to normal.
"Fricking salt, crude oil, burnt rice, and lead... How can blood have that kind of taste is beyond me."
Once he calms himself down, he draws a slightly bigger blood sphere from his finger.
"Here's my apology, drink it."
Buzz!!!
Crimson became a blur as it immediately started drinking the blood sphere, drinking it at a much faster rate than before.
