::smiles:: Today is my 18th birthday!

[gives a small, fangy smile] Alexei.

N-nice to meet you ::back stiff and muscles tightened, still afraid::

[just smiles] You're afraid.

::tries not to let the weird sound escape his throat as he nods::

I did not mean to frighten you. [frowns, almost pouting]

Um... it's okay? [his eyes still wide]

Alexei, Alexei, it is not nice to frighten our new friend.

[petulant look] I didn't mean to . . .

Of course not, but you must remember, people have only recently become aware of our existence. They are still surprised by us.

But he asked.

True, but you could have started out by telling him.

But they never believe me when I just tell them.

Well, princeling, then you may show them.

[gives him a petulant look]

I'm hungry.

[chuckles] All right, all right, we'll go get dinner, my prince. What are you in the mood for tonight, hmm?
