But decided that blunt was easiest. "Not often, he finds places like this particularly dull. He rather enjoys the nightlife of the city, as he showed you." He said with a clear irritation for the other vampire's habits, but he couldn't really complain. "He has only come out here on a handful of occasions, and typically only to return with me, not to stay."

That's all his family really cared about.
