What sort of relationship did you have with your father? Did he love you?

My father and I…clashed from a very early age. He was always tougher on me than the rest of my brothers, always  expected more yet  was never satisfied.  I can’t fathom  what I could have done to upset him so. My only crime seemed to be that I existed.

I don’t know if he loved me. I think not. He apologized in his dying moments for snatching me  out  of the monastery and burning my books, begging my forgiveness, but I think perhaps he was more concerned with his immortal soul than my peace of mind.

01. Things That Should Have Happened in VC:

Magnus: btw there is a crazy coven of satanic vampires in this same city and they will probably try to kill you.

It certainly would have made things much smoother for me and mine.

Hm,  but Magnus was certainly a big purveyor of “learn by experience,” wasn’t he?
