@SlavicFangs “‘Cause you’re not.” Doubling down on his challenge, no more or less stoic than ever.
He turned to face the vamp, eyes fixed fiercely as he took a slow sip from his crystal glass.
@SlavicFangs “Keep tellin’ yourself that.” A small grin as he challenged the vampire’s role in their ‘relationship’.
