Some communication is biased."...and this," said Breagadoir, pointing out the only painting that adorned his walls, "is the ultimate beauty that has ever graced our universe."
"If you say so, dad," said Diahl.
Breagadoir had noticed that Diahl seemed all-consumed by his inquisitive nature and inventive spirit. He was sure this would be useful.
Some communication is emotional."I'm sick of this," came a voice from behind the elven prince. "It's always you going on about your weird obsession with a dead clown girl or you're flirting up half the town or sleeping with the maid..."
"
I am your wife," she asserted, rather forcefully. "You need to pay more attention to me!"
Some communication is an excuse.
"But of course, my love," replied the prince, "I just...oh, sorry," he said, looking at his ringing phone, "this is a work call. I'm afraid I'll have to take it."
"Typical," she muttered as she stormed off.
Breagadoir finished his call even as Emelie finished ascending the spiral staircase.
Some communication is vague.

with Countess Snipes: a very powerful and ambitious vampire.
Some communication is aggressive."Hey!" came an angry voice, "What was the big idea trying to chat up my wife yesterday in the library?" demanded Oberon Summerdream. "She's spoken for!"
Some communication is humorous."Be cool, man," said the prince, casting an ice blast. "Just be cool."
