I have no idea if there's some future etiquette for this. Leave whatever message you choose?

What a great day that was.

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

I promise to tell you son you're an ass, but it would be much funnier to do it in front of you.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

So I can protect you when he grabs a stake?

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

Don't trust filial loyalty too much unless you can also fly him to the top of tall things.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

You would turn my own son against me? My firstborn?

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

As though he'd need me to teach him to taunt you? He's YOUR son. His first word will be fuck.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

No. No. His first word will be 'You'.

His second word will be 'Fuck.'

Pride of third place to some dread incantation Sypha teaches him to punish us.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

To punish you, you mean.

Your dad asked if he could give him rides on his shoulders.

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

They're very good rides. I can vouch. Forgive him. It's the closest he'll come to a grandchild.

[atowncalledtreffy]

What are you talking about? I called Simon his grandkid first. I want to make sure my boy’s back is being watched by the most powerful fucking vampire in existence.

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

I just meant I'm not giving him any. So of course you get the full force.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

You don't want to be a dad?

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

Unless I embark on alchemical experiments it's not really an option, I'm pretty sure. I'm something of a mule.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

Right, sure.

Did you want kids, though?

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

Beyond every orphan from Danesti and apparently partial shares on yours? I can't say I was giving it much thought when I was seventeen, and things have been a bit busy since then.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

Hang on, just how many orphans? You adopting a village?

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

Five. Simon's playmates, I'm told.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

Well, look at you. Adopting orphans in the future.

Re: Text

[draculabutbackwards]

Yes. The future.

Re: Text

[atowncalledtreffy]

Shut up.

[draculabutbackwards]

[He just meant to deflect from how thoroughly he's already adopted them, but if he gets to antagonize Trevor on the subject of days to come, so be it.]

It'll be a busy time!

[atowncalledtreffy]

[Trevor, on the other hand, thought that Adrian had been referring to him and Sypha - both orphans, both adopted in a sense by him, though not in a fatherly way - and narrows his eyes]

I'm not going to call you dad.

[draculabutbackwards]

That was a whole-body shudder, thank you.

[atowncalledtreffy]

You're welcome.
