Lilith and Virgilio

 The Night Belongs to Them  

While Thiago and Tybalt were working things out, Virgilio saw Lilith walking by and called her over. (Autonomously. I found them in the Abrantes' backyard.) 😍 

The couple are always so happy in each other's company. 

They wanted to fool around in the pool, but the water was too cold for comfort. 🥶 

So Virgilio suggested the nearby crypt. At least it was sheltered. 

Lifting weights has given Virgilio a sinewy, lean look! 💪 

The Abrantes' drama, by then, was all forgotten. 

Only the two of them existed in the night. 

Lilith: "Let's go over to your place." 

Virgilio: "Here's a plasma fizz. I have plenty, and you must be thirsty." 

This pair should be living together--except then Caleb would be by himself. Maybe Vlad wouldn't mind a vampire roommate. What to do! 😏 

Because one of Virgilio's more troublesome traits is being Jealous. And I'm starting to see signs of possessiveness in him. 😒 

In the meantime, I'll find activities they can enjoy together. 

Lilith has the Active trait, so she's fine with weightlifting with Virgilio. 😁 

After Lilith left for home, Virgilio exercised his mental muscles by solving his Rubix's Cube puzzle. A total Competitive Geek. 😄

Tybalt Finally Visits his Daughter's Family

 Grand Duke Tybalt Finally Visits

Virgilio: "Time to drag my dad over to Beatrice's house, eh Tux?" 
Tux: "Can I go?" 
Virgilio: "Hmm, maybe you should stay here. This might prove delicate."
Tux: "I'll be good." 
Virgilio: "Next time, buddy. I promise."

Virgilio adds mobiles to the new cribs. 

Tybalt: "So, two of them, huh?"
Virgilio: "Girl and boy: Benita and Tulio. Your first grandkids." 
Tybalt: "Well. They look like Capps at least." 
Virgilio: "Sure Dad. Guess so. You really should speak with Thiago. He's, uh, eager to talk."

Mama Beatrice. 

Thiago: "Tulio looks like me, doesn't he? He's got the Abrantes coloring."

Tybalt: "Hmph! We'll see. Too soon to tell. But Benita is a perfect likeness of her mother."

Thiago: "Sir, I have ambitions for our dynasties. I will encourage my House of Abrantes, as well as support Beatrice in her position as Capp heir. And as you know, despite the divorce, I am still heir to the Thebe dynasty."

Tybalt: "You're well-positioned, no doubt--if you don't squander your advantages."

Tybalt: "I'm not making any promises, Abrantes, but maybe a truce is in order. And if you indeed make good, we might even talk alliance."

Beatrice: "Oh, Thiago! I'm so happy you and Father are getting along so well."

Thiago: "You're welcome in our home anytime, Father Capp!"

Tybalt: "That's Grand Duke Tybalt Capp, Abrantes." 

Thiago: "Yes sir, of course."

Thiago: "Things are looking up, little ones. Daddy has finally found his way!"

Fightin' Man Blues

 Fightin' Man Blues 

It was Virgio's idea, not mine. 😉 We'd heard that there was a feral man living somewhere in Moonwood Mill. His name was Greg. And he just lives for a good brawl. So one night, Virgilio and Tux made a trip to the deep woods. 

The area was dark and scary--for both Virgilio and little Tux. 
Virgilio: "Just stay out of the way, Tux. Leave this challenge to me." 

Right away, Virgilio felt this was going to be a tough fight. The werewolf was huge! 
Virgilio: "Hey, there. I'm looking for a good challenge. Care to oblige?" 

Virgilio gave it all he had and was able to hold his own for quite a while. 

But then, the end came suddenly. 

Not even turning on charming allure could change this outcome! 

The only thing left was just to sing the blues! 😩 

Fightin' Man Blues  

Felt I was born for something more
But I′m still knockin' on a broken door
"Destined for greatness," that′s what they say
But the road keeps draggin' my soul away ... 

Every scar I wear is proof I tried
Every dream I lost is still alive ... 

If I fall tonight before I′m through
I'll fall swingin′ 'til I break on through ...  

The fight in the end is me versus me, not you ...

Me versus me
'Til eternity
