Not if he could avoid it. That’s more of his father’s thing.
Vlad is more goth dandy
No capes.
It is@thebibliosphere ’s fault that I saw this and immediately interpreted it as a mirror image of a vampire, wearing the cape, and tight white booty shorts, t shirt, and gloves.
Listen, you can blame me for a lot of things, but that mental image is not one of them.
I never used to think about vampires actively trying to be sexy… and sometimes failing. And then you introduced me to Vlad.
I like the implication that Vlad is both sexy but also often fails in his attempts to be suave and seductive because you’d be absolutely right.
He’s either devastatingly charming or falling backwards off the couch, there’s no in between.
But what about when he is devastatingly charming… For the .25 seconds -before- he falls off the back of the couch?
Shit you’re right.
Oooh hey, did we just add a new slapstick bit to book 2 or 3??? 😀
Pft, “add”. He’s always falling over and making an arse of himself. It’s Nathan’s favorite game to make him so flustered he forgets how to do the vampire glide and trips over the footstool.
The first time him and Nathan meet he cracks his knee off the side of his desk in his haste to stand up and shake his hand and Nathan has this moment of “a human might have winced in pain, but the vampire merely smiled, extending his hand” inner monologue while Vlad is just waiting for him to leave so he can crumple to the floor because he might look 20 but his joints are absolutely 400.
Also re your other comment: Not that he’s not appealing when falling off the couch. I get the
feeling he gets scruffed like a kitten a fair bit (he strikes me as the
cat of the trio). But not exactly sexy, no.
When and how have you been in my house and read the manuscript? I’m not mad, I just need to know. For security purposes.
