[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.
[A slow sigh escapes him and he raises their hands, kissing Trevor's fingers.]
I know you can protect yourself. And I know you made amends where you had to. For that, I am very proud of you, Trevor. I know overcoming things you have grown up with and were taught are difficult to achieve, but you have regardless.
You shouldn't be punished for that. I will worry regardless, but I will not pressure you to tell me who spoke to you in such a way.
[Once Alucard kisses his fingers, he drops his head onto the dhampir's shoulder again.
He hates feeling like he even needs to carry the whip like some damned security blanket, because he should be able to just tell that the kid is harmless.
Except that in this place, people just -- aren't what they seem, and what if he isn't?
He frowns.]
I don't even know the guy. Never seen him in my life until the other night at Sinbad's party.
[There's no small amount of relief that he feels when Alucard speaks about the man as if he knows him, although he finds himself puzzled about what D could possibly see in such a brat.
He knows better than to ask such a thing, though, and instead settles for pressing a few soft kisses to Alucard's throat, to his jaw.]

[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.]

[One hand keeps holding onto Trevor's, his other going to his back, lightly tracing there.]
no subject
[For ... many reasons.]

no subject
You have my word, Trevor.
no subject
He called himself Asra. He was just -- some kid.
no subject
...Even if I wished to do something. Even if I were cruel and broke my promise to you, I could do nothing to him.
Asra was a man that D adored. A magician himself, though I don't know what sort of power he has.
I'm disappointed in him, but I will not do anything to him.

Thank you.
no subject
Anything for you.
no subject
I feel better, knowing even just a little about him.
no subject
...Our last encounter was also at the party. It was an unpleasant one, but not nearly as much as yours.
