I'll sneak into the kitchen and make more if you need it.
[Because tonight they have to stay until first light. (Unlike every vampire here, he can stay beyond first light if he must.) That is hardly the worst of it, but it factors into so much. The worst of it, beyond the fact that this is required in the first place, is that Sypha doesn't get to walk into the room as no one more than herself. This is posturing, this is politics, this is stuff neither of his parents were strictly required to do because of his father's long, long shadow. He need only reside in the city, and everything came to heel.
He makes the comparisons first and tries to live with them because everyone else will do the same thing. If he can beat the to the thought, then he can move around them. Make sure he is nothing more than a seatwarmer until his father returns. This cannot be a lifetime appointment.
He'd rather Sypha in all the blues that look so lovely with her eyes. Red is..it is not terrible, but it also isn't her. He sighs heavily, knowing that no one else is in the room. She can hear how full of dread he is, hear it as he tucks a stray piece of her hair back into place.]
