"So what brings you here to my manor this evening, dear Tybalt?"
"Well I was wondering, speaking of manors, if you had thought about taking my offer for mine? It's like I said, Vlad: You're alone in such a huge place here! And with our ever-growing family, it might benefit you to consider downsizing."
"Oh I have thought about it, cousin, but it took me centuries just to acquire this place. And much like yourself, I do prefer my solitude. Of course...with a proper price...I could be persuaded."
"Oh money isn't an object, Vlad. We both come from rich backgrounds..."

While Vlad and Tybalt chatted, two of Tybalt's children were also speaking.
"Hey, Chaucer. You have something on your shirt."

The female vampire smacked Chaucer right up the nose with the palm of her hand.

"Ohho, Chaucer. You're such fun to tease. You always fall for that!"
Chaucer frowned.
"It...It isn't funny though, Noel. You know I have issues with this whole drinking from sims."
"Yeah, yeah. You try to drink from other sources'. Heh...Queasy weakling."
Just then, Tybalt called Noel over.

"And although I know you care for your solitude, Vlad, I could sweeten the deal...with Noel's hand in marriage."
"Oh father!" Noel chuckled. "You'd be willing to give me to the...most powerful...vampire in Forgotten Hollow?"
Vlad gave a small grin.
"She is at least honest. Most others try to call me the 'most handsome' vampire, of which we all know is a lie."
Tybalt laughed.
"No offense, dear cousin, but you are correct. I could have given her hand to Lilith's brother, Caleb, were he not one of those...penguins...and not to mention a shrimp to boot."

The youngest of Tybalt's family, Clarissa chortled as she jeered at her brother.
"Haha. You're a penguin shrimp!"
"Clarissa, that...that's not words you should be saying to anyone."
"But daddy says Caleb is those and you're like Caleb. Don't you walk in the sun and don't like to drink plasma from sims. So you're a penguin shrimp!"

Chaucer sighed.
"Clarissa...those aren't nice words. A shrimp is someone who is weak and cowardly and a penguin is...is..."
He soon stopped speaking.

Chaucer's outburst caught the attention of everyone in the house, all eyes looking to him for a moment.
"Forgive Chaucer, Vlad," said Tybalt. "He is...going through one of those mood swings that all teenagers go through. It was the same with Noel and Francis and I'm sure you've gone through something similar long ago?"
"Of course," said Vlad. "Maybe though we should discuss our house swapping later though...without your family in tow...aside from Noel of course."
"Yes, Yes. Maybe next week. If you excuse me then, dear cousin, I must deal with my son..."
------------
Next post, Tybalt punishes Chaucer for his outburst.

"So what brings you here to my manor this evening, dear Tybalt?"
"Well I was wondering, speaking of manors, if you had thought about taking my offer for mine? It's like I said, Vlad: You're alone in such a huge place here! And with our ever-growing family, it might benefit you to consider downsizing."
"Oh I have thought about it, cousin, but it took me centuries just to acquire this place. And much like yourself, I do prefer my solitude. Of course...with a proper price...I could be persuaded."
"Oh money isn't an object, Vlad. We both come from rich backgrounds..."

The female vampire smacked Chaucer right up the nose with the palm of her hand.

"Ohho, Chaucer. You're such fun to tease. You always fall for that!"
Chaucer frowned.
"It...It isn't funny though, Noel. You know I have issues with this whole drinking from sims."
"Yeah, yeah. You try to drink from other sources'. Heh...Queasy weakling."
Just then, Tybalt called Noel over.

"And although I know you care for your solitude, Vlad, I could sweeten the deal...with Noel's hand in marriage."
"Oh father!" Noel chuckled. "You'd be willing to give me to the...most powerful...vampire in Forgotten Hollow?"
Vlad gave a small grin.
"She is at least honest. Most others try to call me the 'most handsome' vampire, of which we all know is a lie."
Tybalt laughed.
"No offense, dear cousin, but you are correct. I could have given her hand to Lilith's brother, Caleb, were he not one of those...penguins...and not to mention a shrimp to boot."

The youngest of Tybalt's family, Clarissa chortled as she jeered at her brother.
"Haha. You're a penguin shrimp!"

He soon stopped speaking.

"Tybalt is your father!" Mavis suddenly snapped. "And you are a shrimp for letting your little sister walk all over you like that! As for the penguin comment, Clarissa is just too young to know what the word means, although it is quite fitting of that floof of a vampire, Caleb."

"Ugh..You're all terrible!" Chaucer suddenly shouted. "You're not even my real family!"

Chaucer's outburst caught the attention of everyone in the house, all eyes looking to him for a moment.
"Forgive Chaucer, Vlad," said Tybalt. "He is...going through one of those mood swings that all teenagers go through. It was the same with Noel and Francis and I'm sure you've gone through something similar long ago?"
"Of course," said Vlad. "Maybe though we should discuss our house swapping later though...without your family in tow...aside from Noel of course."
"Yes, Yes. Maybe next week. If you excuse me then, dear cousin, I must deal with my son..."
