God give me strength. Dimitri's eyes rose to the stars. He never learned his lesson, did he? Every time he was confronted with a remotely attractive girl, he was all over her. It was rude, chauvinistic and highly inappropriate. He was as Greek as the next man but this was ridiculous. And she wasn't any better- especially when Telcotl was her elder, superior and far better looking. The flirting was one thing. He could handle flirting. He was a flirt himself, so reprimanding the children for that would be hypocritical. But outright sexual solicitation?
He was two-thousand and he wasn't that bold. If she got any closer his boy was going to be undressed in the street. Unacceptable. Especially with the way he was talking to her. Conceit had always been a problem with the child. Conceit and condescension. She might be a woman but... Artemis? Athena? Telly, dearest, you don't mess with women. You never know when they'll curse you for generations.
It was about time to stop this. They could finish up in the privacy of their own, what was it, nest? Unlike him, since his SHEETS HAD BEEN STOLEN. His silver cane flew up, jabbing both of the younger vampires in their stomachs, using the solid silver to shove them apart.
You, young lady, should show more dignity. If you don't make him work for his prize, you'll be used and thrown away before I've woken up tomorrow morning. He jabbed her once more before turning and smacking Telcotl on the side of his (adorable) head.
Stop that. You're not the gods gift to woman, despite what you might have been told. Treat the lady with respect. I highly doubt you treated your neighbors like this- alllll those years ago. Dimitri jabbed him once more (just for good measure).
And there wasn't a thing wrong with my sheets! Some people wear silk pajamas; I like my silk bed! Dimitri drew himself up to his full height, shaking a few locks of white-blonde hair out of his face. I didn't give you the key to my home so you can destroy my happiness.
No, the key was a safeguard. A precaution, if need be told. Against what, he didn't know. But advice freely given should be freely taken. Especially from the fairy folk.
Stop harassing the woman and MAKE MY BED.
