I sounded so fake, canned cheese seemed more genuine.
“We don’t care,” Felix added. “Because we know you ate crayons in elementary school.” “That was an off year for me!”
“Forgiveness means giving up my anger at your actions. It doesn’t mean there are no consequences to your actions,”
“As much as I like to create witty quips and lighthearted statements about the unstoppable hunger of death that will eventually consume the world with its gaping maw,
“Wow. Being old must pay really well.”
Killian raised an eyebrow at me. “You were attacked by fae archers, and the most interesting observation you make out of the entire event is that Rupert has poor muscle control?”

The Drake vampires were offering each other curt nods and a few smiles and back slaps, until Momoko hugged Celestina and it became a free-for-all hug fest that involved most wizards chasing down slightly panicking vampires. (My favorite, I think, was when June snuck up on Rupert and gave him a hug. He squealed like a pig, but sat through it like an obedient dog.)
