were taught?”
“I’m doing a decade without. I like to change things up from time to time.”
“Like the time you decided only to drink from animals?”
Richard made a face of disgust, “That was a horrible idea. Thank god I had only decided to try that for six months.”
Samuel laughed, “What about the time you would only take the blood of virgins?”
Richard rolled his eyes, “How was I supposed to know that the sexual revolution would start that next year?” he smiled, thinking back on that decade.
“Well,” Samuel agreed, “you were smart enough to broaden your definition of ‘virgin’ after a while.”
It was Richards turn to laugh, “I had to cut it off as either never having sex, or not having sex in the last six months. I’m telling you, even then finding a good snack at the disco was a real tribulation. I lost more money in free drinks just to find out the little sluts had been doing different men each month. I’m telling you, if I wasn’t such an easy going Vampire, I would have believed that society was going down the tubes.”
Samuel tried not to bark out in laughter. His mirth, however didn’t stop from manifesting in his eyes. “You dolt! I had to listen to you for over three hours complain about the poor morals in the 70’s. All you would talk about was that single females had finally been able to get the pill here in Australia and finding a nice virgin was as impossible as finding snow on a hot day in Alice Springs.
Richard was taken back to that night, “Ahhh, good times.”
Samuel looked around and muttered through his grin, “Says you...”
Richard shrugged, “True.” He looked at his friend, “Why do I get the impression that you are finally going to get to the point of this conversation?”
Samuel put down his empty tea cup. “Because you are an intelligent man and know me too damn well.”
Richard raised his eyebrows, “This must be a good request, you are buttering both sides.”
“Oh? I can’t remember which way your swinging this decade.”
Richard waved his hand airily, “I gave up deciding that back in ’97. Frankly, I’m just too old to care much anymore. But never mind that, you’re trying to deflect. What is it you needed to call me out of my cave to come see you?”
This time, Samuel couldn’t hold his laughter in. There was only one other couple in the establishment at the moment. They glanced briefly his way then resumed their own conversation. Samuel got his mirth under control, “Your calling that seven thousand square foot edifice to hedonistic activities a cave?”
“Well,” Richard sniffed, “I’ve yet to get some of the walls painted again after I went through my black phase so yes, I’m calling it my cave.”
Samuel shook his head and continued smiling, “Well, as much fun as that must be I do have some rumors that we need to deal with.”
Richard waved his hand in a universal ‘continue’ motion.
“First, we have to deal with the Queen’s request for tribute.”
Richard made a face, “That bitch is trying that request again? Didn’t we slap her down back in…what, ’88?”
“It was ’89 and the ‘bitch’ is much stronger this time. My contacts are saying that she is capable of disappearing just like Michael is rumored to do.” Samuel looked around, like he was thinking that now they might be watched, “Either way, she and her group did take out Hichoi back in December.”
“He went to her house, remember?” Richard commented.
“Yes, that was a strategically poor choice, but that’s the first vampire on vampire killing in a long time. I tell you, it gives me the shivers. That was the whole reason we came out here instead of staying in Europe, less bullshit to deal with.”
Richard shrugged, “Look, we would have had to deal with something sooner if the Queen’s mother wasn’t killed in the Hiroshima
