There's nothing wrong with living in one's comfort level. I suppose comparatively, you've not had much to fill a room with. But that doesn't mean you can't start, if you wanted. [Wryly:] Give yourself a bit of practice before we're back in Wallachia.
[Ah. That's actually very sweet of Trevor to say. He smiles and kisses his temple.]
The same can be said for me. So long as you are with me.
[Look, he doesn't feel like he needs to protect himself from Rip because the vampire was obviously terrified of Alucard, or respected him. Or something.
But this...]
When I was still ... sorting through my feelings about vampires, you know I wasn't the most diplomatic about it. Apparently someone took exception to that.

[He's been ... more likely to try and cater to Alucard lately, given everything that's happened to the dhampir.
He's told exactly nobody about the little run-in he'd had with Asra at the party partly because of that, but partly because it seemed so -- odd.]
And as long as you're there, it doesn't matter where we are.

[He shrugs, through, running his hand absently up and down Alucard's back.]
I've just never needed much.
[Do you really want Trevor to start a whip collection in your h--oh, wait.
Yes.]
no subject
[A pleased hum is given at the back touching. Very nice.]
It's not about needing, necessarily. I certainly don't need even half the shit in my house.
[yes? absolutely?]
no subject
[You know, that he's the big not-so-bad wolf that comes to get poetry read to him.]
Well, I guess I've never wanted much, either. Maybe a new whip - the Morningstar is a bit excessive for -- everyday work.
[But he's absolutely been carrying it again since Sinbad's party.]
no subject
[There's a pause of consideration, and he gently scratches the back of Trevor's head.]
Why, precisely, do you need a whip for your work?
[he's sort of noticed]
no subject
Fuck.]
Just wanted to have a little extra insurance, that's all.

Please, just tell me. You know I won't leave it be until you say.

[There's a pause, then he frowns.] So. Who was annoyed with you? What was said?
no subject
Their friend, however, felt the need to make his opinion clear by way of a threat.
[He really didn't want to admit to this.]
no subject
Still. Trevor-- Trevor is his, so.]
Who threatened you?
no subject
[Because it was probably just some kid being stupid, for all he knows.
He frowns, dropping his chin to Alucard's shoulder. It's a slightly sulky movement.]
It doesn't matter.
no subject
[He makes a small, frustrated sound, but decides to just pull Trevor into his lap so he can hold him. And maybe put a little.]
no subject
[He doesn't resist being pulled into the dhampir's lap, though, nuzzling his face into Alucard's neck.]
no subject
Trevor, just because I've been processing my losses doesn't make your troubles less to me. I would honestly prefer to focus on you than... that.
I won't force you to speak further, but I would do anything to protect you. More than that, whatever you asked of me.
...Even if it means staying out of it.
no subject
I just don't want you to worry about it. If I thought it was a serious death threat, that would be another thing...
[Whoops did he leave out the 'death' part before]
no subject
no subject
[Whoops...?
Trevor doesn't think he can even distract Alucard out of this one.]
Must've slipped my mind.
no subject
And you're carrying your whip, just in case said person attacks you.
What should my reaction be, Trevor?
no subject
-- I don't know.
[Truthfully, he really hasn't wanted to make a big deal out of it because it means admitting that it happened.]
