Huh. I hadn't intended to make the court seem particularly dysfunctional. At least, not atypically for vampires, who do I think trend towards toxic and dysfunctional communities.
A lot of it was in the Prince's exasperated insistence that someone take care of the task at hand without starting a fight or needing him to intervene. Makes it feel like plenty of both has happened before. This Prince had big "mommy has a headache" energy.
Ahahaha! YES HE DOES. Probably because he's an amalgam of a lot of Princes from VtM LARPs I've played. I really can't blame him for spending Elysium holed up in a back room when his entire court is made up of PCs.
