Overheard in Aster’s study.
“Hey, shitty vampire…”
“Excuse you. You ought to address me as ‘your highness.’”
“Ha! In your dreams. I’m not calling you that.”
“How rude! I’m a prince.”
“By marriage. Two weeks ago you were just another noble.”
“This noble pays for your lifestyle. Lean closer.”
“Ow! What was that for?”
“I’m teaching you some respect.”
“That’s rich coming from you. Blade still calls Dante ‘Lord Jackass.’”
“That was affectionate!”
“Should I ask if he felt that way? Hey! Don’t flash that giant ring in my face.”
“I’m not responsible for what an e-droid misunderstands.”
“Hmph. So ‘little punk.’ Was that affectionate too?”
“Of course.”
“Rascal?”
“Yes.”
“Whippersnapper?”
“Yes, obviously.”
“Stupid incubus?”
“No, I’m just insulting you. Why do you know all of the things I’ve called him, anyway? Have you been spying on me?”
“Don’t flatter yourself.”
