:D I like this! And so Vlad still has some of his 'creepy old guy' vibe. I suppose it makes sense, he IS a naturally possessive person, despite the vast improvements to his character.
As someone who's TRIED to escort a small child through a children's library, I totally sympathize with Mina here. It's just not possible. Though at least at five/six/whatever, Johnny is a bit easier to manage than the small ones. ^^
I also LOVE that you're posting here, and I hope you find this comment! Bless you.
