The Shy Prince
- Don’t worry he’s quite small too
- Un petit prince
- Unlike his sister, he is the spitting image of his father, save for ears and eyes
- His eyes match his mothers, but theres this glaze to them
- They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and when Vlad looks at them he swears hes never seem so much life
- He also bares a resemblance to his grandmother, Lisa
- Vlad finds himself staring at his grandson for hours when he holds him, remembering what he lost and what he gained
- He too is spoiled, portraits are painted.
- But hes not as extroverted as his sister, it’s almost as if she “sucked” all his energy
- He’d much rather stay in his room and play with his toys
- Blanket forts are a big thing for him, he always has one set up in his bed
- Grandpa Drac can never fit, hes too tall
- So tall in fact, that when light passes him and makes a shadow, the little prince cries
- Yes he is indeed scared of shadows
- But when grandpa picks him up and holds him, he calms down immediately
- It is not uncommon to find Dracula walking around with a child sitting up on his shoulders
- It is also not uncommon to see at least a handful of stuffed toys decorating him
- Nick/Pet names also hold the word little in them. Little prince, little one
- But he finds himself calling him “my son”, perhaps he looks too much like his father?
- He is fascinated by stories. His eyes light up when Vlad tells him a tale from years passed
- “How did you meet grandmother?”
- “My son, that is a rather long tale”
- And the little prince would nod and run off only to return a moment later wrapped in a large thick blanket “I’m ready” ☺
