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
