REGINALD:Nervous?
FREDERICK:Terrified.
REGINALD:You’ve got this, man
REGINALD:Also, do I have permission to go into your apartment while you’re gone?
FREDERICK:ABSOLUTELY not.
FREDERICK:Not after what you did to our mantel.
REGINALD:I said sorry
FREDERICK:Apology accepted.
FREDERICK:My answer remains no.
REGINALD:fine, fine, I’ll just wear what I have in my closet
FREDERICK:Just don’t wear Old Fuzzy, any of those things you pilfered from the Steppenwolf Theatre props department back in the 1980s, or anything from your feather boa collection.
REGINALD:well now I am going to wear all that stuff EVEN HARDER
FREDERICK:I suppose that if you show up as yourself it’s Amelia’s problem, not mine.
FREDERICK:I gather, by the way, that Amelia eventually came around to the idea of taking a vampire with her to wedding events?
REGINALD:she actually seemed surprisingly okay with it right away??
FREDERICK:Really?
REGINALD:Yeah! I was surprised
REGINALD:I was expecting her to freak like Cassie did
FREDERICK:Honestly, so was I.
FREDERICK:In fact, the Annals suggest that humans react to “I am a vampire”revelations rather poorly across the board, with a lot of screaming and wooden stakes and such.
REGINALD:Maybe Sam told Amelia about you at some point? So now she thinks all vampires are like an undead Mr. Rogers?
FREDERICK:Cassie says she made Sam promise not to breathe a word about me to anyone.
FREDERICK:And I am NOT like Mr. Rogers.
REGINALD:An undead Bob Ross, then. Either way, maybe Sam didn’t think that promise extended to family
FREDERICK:Hm. It’s possible.
FREDERICK:In the meantime, how did she take the news that there’s an unhinged vampire vigilante gang after you?
REGINALD:She seemed fine with me being a vampire fugitive!
FREDERICK:I can’t believe this.
FREDERICK:Are you sure?
REGINALD:I think so? But she was falling asleep on the phone so maybe I read that part of it wrong
