Summary: “Don’t care what the fuck your name is. We had to pick up our own laundry!” The words tumble out of Nandor’s mouth before he can stop them, and he immediately realises two things. First, he definitely should not have said that. There were a myriad of phrases he could’ve and should’ve used, including - especially - ‘thank you’, but gratitude hasn’t been his overwhelming response to anything in almost 800 years of existence, so it wasn’t exactly easy to utilise now. (Also, Nandor reasons that he should be cut some slack given that he just witnessed his familiar - his soft-spoken, submissive, puny human familiar - slaughter an entire theatre of vampires like it was nothing. Excuse him if his brain was having trouble.) The second thing was that he was harder than he had ever been in his life, living or undead.
Recommendation: Donkey-brained indeed! Nandor opens his mouth and swallows his whole foot, but he makes up for it by being ardently poetic later.
Recommendation #2,750
