Does anyone call you by any cute nicknames?

I suppose it’s hard to nickname someone when they only have a one syllable name. And I hate when people try and give me flower nicknames. Never, ever, try and do that. I am not your little ‘rosebud’ who is ready to be ‘plucked’. Ugh, even mentioning it makes me sick.

Beej calls me doll. Bianca calls me her star. Antoine calls me dove. I’m not really sure what I’ve done to deserve these, but I’ll take them.

What about you Lestat? Do you have any nicknames for me?

Oh, and Daniel calls me Chickpea.

♛Well, a nickname isn’t always a shortening of one’s name… although I’m often called ‘Stat, which I find very amusing, as it’s also the abbreviation for statim, Latin for “immediately”, used in the medical field (have I been in hospitals and heard this called out, and thought it was someone trying to get my attention? Hmmmm? Maybe!), but I digress, this is about you, darling ❤

I hadn’t heard those nicknames for you! Daniel’s very good, I’m changing your name in my phone to Chickpea. Too cute not to.

I don’t think I ever called you by any floral nicknames, but I completely agree with your reasons for detesting them. I don’t like being called Blondie, which Armand does to irritate me, and it raises my ire without fail EVERY TIME HE DOES IT. 

When you were a little girl, I called you variations on précieux and mon bijou, do you remember? 

Do you still sleep in a coffin? I tried it once, but it felt odd. Like I was really dead.

♛Usually not. Bed-related shopping is one of my favorite chores! Which happens pretty often *winks* I particularly love waterbeds, the heated water is so soothing. But CERTAIN PEOPLE are afraid of the potential water damage from a pierced waterbed, sooooo I can’t actually OWN one. 

Sleeping in coffins, though, I see why it would make you feel odd, dead… I think I find it… comforting or punishing depending on my mood. It’s a comfort to be in such a small space in perfect darkness, reminiscent of going to ground, completely embraced by the earth. 

I order my coffins custom – large, Italian silk lining, memory-foam mattress, and I do enjoy sharing with a loved one, you’re always invited, mon bijou ❤ 

Other times, when I don’t want to allow myself the luxury of sleeping in a bed… I climb into an older coffin, lined with towels, in the attic. It’s a real punishment. 

For safety, and on this you might agree: a large trunk is still my most trusted place to sleep on a ship. I’ve found that mortals assume a coffin contains the dead; so regardless of vehement instruction, or loads of cash, they insist on putting it in non-passenger-accessible storage! Most irritating.
